Bruce Lee

His Thoughts on Martial Arts

"Forms are the repetitions which offer an orderly and beautiful escape from Self-Knowledge with an alive opponent."

"If you follow the classical pattern, you are understanding the routine, the tradition, the shadow - you are not understanding yourself."

"Some Martial Arts are very popular, real crowd pleasers, because they look good, have smooth techniques.  But beware!  They are like a wine that has been watered,  a diluted wine is not a real wine, not a good wine, hardly the genuine article.  Some Martial arts don't look so good, but you know that they have a kick, a tang, a genuine taste.  They are like olives.  The taste may be strong and bitter sweet.  The flavor lasts.  You cultivate a taste for them.  No one ever developed a taste for diluted wine."
