bruce lee's wisdom

an animal jumps at every sound.. a leaf reponds to every push of air... but enlightened man in combat moves only when he chooses-only when necessary-actually, the movement before it is necessary. he is not tensed but ready, he is never set but flexible [pg:20]

1.Pretend inferiority after evasive move to encourage an opponent's arrogance for your advantange.

2.Your brain is the general of your head and if the general is angered his authority can be easily upset. [pg.32]


You must be fierce, but patience at the same time. Most important of all, you must have complete determination. The worst opponent you can come across is one whose aim has become an obsession. For intance, if a man has decided that he is going to bite off your nose no matter what happen to him in the process, the chances are he will succeed in doing it. He may be severely beaten up too, but that will not stop him from carrying out his objective, That is the real fighter. [pg:34]
