Rick JKD Posted May 23, 2003 Share Posted May 23, 2003 You are all right. But Bruce Lee didn't want there to be a next Bruce Lee. I think if the great Lee were alive today, he would be saddened, because every time I go to the Martial Arts section of the bookstore or library, I see "Learn Bruce Lee's Way of Fighting!" But he didn't want that, he wanted each individual to follow there own path, not walk someone elses. He wanted everyone to express themselves the way they thought fit. And I think Jackie Chan and Jet Li, who are great men, have done that. See, Bruce Lee wasn't making a form of fighting, as someone said. That is true, because he was making a way of life, a way to open a hole in the sky so that the mind could see how to express itself by way of physical and mental activity and thought. Bruce saw that for years people had been learning set forms of martial "arts," arts which could never be fulfilling to the artist. When he was enlightened to that, he began Jeet Kune Do, which can only be taught as a mental way of life, but in no way a physical form of fighting. I myself took up JKD because long before I studied, I thought in the same way as Bruce Lee, thats why I was attracted to it. Hopefully you will understand, I know I do. Art calls for complete mastery of techniques, developed by reflection within the soul. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

battousai16 Posted May 25, 2003 Share Posted May 25, 2003 in addition, y'all are forgetting what he did not only for the martial arts in the us, but what he did for the people of china. in a time with much harrassment coming from japan and the US, burce lee, viewed as one of the greatest heros, gave the people something to be proud of.
