BRUCE LEE - Chinese Gung Fu - Martial Arts and Philosophical Knowledge for Everyday Use

Bruce Lee's passion for life and the understanding of martial arts theories are, other than Lao T'su, help to understand the basics of life and self defence. While I myself do not practice Bruce Lee's physical self defence, I listen and learn by his mind techniques presented for everyday life. Bruce Lee's take on everyday life is fantastic and can be introduced into anyone's daily practices.

Among his martial arts followers which include Karate, Judo, Gung Fu and many other systems, who tapped into the purity and excellence of this man's inner energy, I have learned so much from his summation and wonderful knowledge and his natural ability as a teacher.

Gung Fu is a mixture of mind, body and spirit exercise "a firm belief that every technique will come to the desired end"; this can be applied daily to our own thoughts, words and actions. Bruce Lee's method of teaching self-defence can be used e.g,:

"Learn the priciple, abide by the principle, and dissolve the principle....Learn, Master & Achieve".

This one sentence alone, when applied to everyday life can alter your entire perception about yourself. Learn, Master and Achieve.

"A Martial Artist has to take responsibility for himself and accept the consequences of his own doing"

This is a lesson that every single person should learn about living on a daily basis. If you accept responsibility for your own actions and consequences then you will be a deeper and more grounded person.

My own particular favorite Quote by the brilliant Bruce Lee:

"Be like water making its way through cracks. Do not be assertive, but adjust to the object, and you shall find a way around or through it. It nothing within you stays rigid , outward things will disclose themselves".

I will let you work that into your own life and circumstances.

Hope you enjoyed
