“Finally, a Jeet Kune Do man who says Jeet Kune Do is exclusively Jeet Kune Do is simply not with it. He is still hung up on his self-closing resistance, in this case anchored down to reactionary pattern, and naturally is still bound by another modified pattern and can move within its limits. He has not digested the simple fact that truth exists outside all molds; pattern and awareness is never exclusive. Again let me remind you Jeet Kune Do is just a name used, a boat to get one across, and once across it is to be discarded and not to be carried on one's back.” MenStillsSelfFactsMovingUsedNamesSimpleCasesAwarenessLimitsLet MeBoundsPatternsResistanceBoatHungExclusiveClosingMoldReactionariesDiscarded Author:Bruce Lee

“Resistance in my experience always kicks in when you're trying to move from a lower level to a higher level or to identify with a braver part of yourself or your higher nature. So it's that negative repelling force. It's kind of the dragon that we have to slay every day if we're artists or entrepreneurs.” IfsTryingKindMovingArtistForceLevelsHigherNegativeEntrepreneurResistanceKicksDragonsHigher LevelRepelling Author:Steven Pressfield
“There is a strong conservative instinct in the average man or woman, born of the hereditary fear of life, that prompts them to cling to old standards, or, if too intelligent to look inhospitably upon progress, to move very slowly. Both types are the brakes and wheelhorses necessary to a stable civilization, but history, even current history in the newspapers, would be dull reading if there were no adventurous spirits willing to do battle for new ideas.” IfsMenLooksIdeasWould BeMovingSpiritReadingStrongBornProgressWillingTypeCivilizationBattleStandardsIntelligentInstinctAverageConservativeCurrentsNewspapersResistanceDullStableNew IdeasStatus QuoAdventurousPromptsAverage ManBrakeHereditaryFears Of LifeAdventurous Spirit Author:Gertrude Atherton
“The final goal of physical education is to make strong beings. In the purely physical sense, the Natural Method promotes the qualities of organic resistance, muscularity and speed, towards being able to walk, run, jump, move on all fours, to climb, to keep balance, to throw, lift, defend yourself and to swim.” RunningAbleMovingStrongGoalNaturalWalksQualityBalanceMethodFinalsSpeedResistanceLiftsClimbsSwimFoursPhysical Education Author:Georges Hebert
