| Entering into martial arts, I've come to find a certain fascination with Bruce Lee ... his philosophy ... and his open willingness to offer his many ideas and theories. This page is dedicated to his memory. |

| "The tools are at an undifferentiated center of a circle that has no circumference, moving and yet not moving, in tension and yet relaxed, seeing everything happening and yet not at all anxious about it's outcome, with nothing purposely designed, nothing consciously calculated, no anticipation, no expectation - in short, standing innocently like a baby and yet, with all the cunning, subterfuge and keen intelligence of a fully mature mind." |
| "The way to transcend karma lies in the proper use of the mind and the will. The one-ness of all life is a truth that can be fully realized only when false notions of a separate self, whose destiny can be considered apart from the whole, are forever annihilated." |
| "Do not run away; let go. Do not seek, for it will come when least expected." |
| "The well-coordinated fighter does everything smoothly and gracefully. He seems to glide in and out of distance with minimum of effor and a maximum of deception." |
| The athlete who is building muscles through weight training should be very sure to work adequately on speed and flexibility at the same time. In combat, without prior attributes, a strong man will be like the bull with it's colossal strength futilely pursuing the matador, or like a low-geared truck chasing a rabbit. |
| "The great mistake is to anticipate the outcome of the engagement; you ought not to be thinking of whether it ends in victory or defeat. Let nature take it's course, and your tools will strike at the right moment." |
