There are plenty of Bruce Lee quotes all over the internet. I thought I would do something a little different here and use them as a starting point for discussion (albeit a small discussion!). I think it’s interesting to explore ideas, and Bruce makes it easy for me to do that because he was so interested in the philosophy of being human.

It’s sometimes misleading to take quotes out of context, so I’ll bear that in mind.

Bruce Lee Quotes For Exploration

I fear not the man who has practiced 10,000 kicks once, but I fear the man who has practiced one kick 10,000 times.

This is similar to the contrast between being a Jack of all trades and being a master of none. There is little use in being able to execute many kicks ineffectively. It’s a kick’s effectiveness that will stop your opponent, not your dazzling array of poorly executed kicks.

Simplicity is the key to brilliance

So often human beings complicate even the simplest of things. Wing Chun is the essence of simplicity and uses the philosophy of “just enough”, be it movement, effort, whatever. We should just concentrate on achieving our objective in the most efficient way possible.

using no way as a way, using no limitations as a limitation.

I think Bruce Lee is talking about throwing off self imposed limitations here. Often we allow preconceived ideas about what we can achieve to shape our performance. It’s well known that you have more chance of succeeding if you belive that you can succeed. Even if you have no shred of evidence that you can achieve something, you have a better chance of succeeding if you simply believe anyway. The “using no way as way” – is that a reference to the style-less Jeet Kune Do? That is, don’t conform rigidly to a particular style if it is not as effective as some other response? I think he is talking about the limitations present when conforming rigidly to a particular style. Wing Chun has no ground game, so it might be a good idea to incorporate some BJJ training into your routine, for example.

Use only that which works, and take it from any place you can find it.

Isn’t the whole concept of Jeet Kune Do built on this? It certainly makes sense. There is little advantage to be gained, in the context of fighting, from clinging on to traditional ways of doing things if they are ineffective. Better to learn from other successful practitioners. Look at what they do and how they do it, then test it yourself to see whether it works for you. Just don’t tell sifu!

Don’t get set into one form, adapt it and build your own, and let it grow, be like water. Empty your mind, be formless, shapeless — like water. Now you put water in a cup, it becomes the cup; You put water into a bottle it becomes the bottle; You put it in a teapot it becomes the teapot. Water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend.

I think the idea of adapting existing forms and building your own is (possibly) viable if you already have a good grounding in the martial arts. This fits in with Bruce Lee’s tendency to take on as Jeet Kune Do students only those people who were already competent in a martial art. Building your own form would obviously be too daunting a task for a complete beginner who has no basis on which to build. Testing is a necessary component of adapting and building your own forms, so that effectiveness is safeguarded. Before something new is incorporated into a form, it needs to be tested to see whether it works. Whether or not it works is a crucial factor.

Be water, my friend

Yes, yes! Be water! This has to be about fitting yourself perfectly around your opponent, responding appropriately to what they do. If they collapse their guard, you fill their space. If they push, you deflect. Flow easily with what is going on and don’t resist – until it’s time to crash.

Some quotes are taken from these videos:

Bruce Lee Interview Part 1

Bruce Lee Interview Part 2

Do not deny the classical approach, simply as a reaction, or you will have created another pattern and trapped yourself there.

I think that this is a very good point, and I’m glad Bruce made it. He made a habit of challenging tradition, testing existing practise, keeping what worked and rejecting what didn’t. You would be mistaken if you thought his intent was to simply abandon tradition. Instead, it was to abandon what was useless. If something traditional is effective, it should be kept. It is the pattern of accepting without testing that should be rejected.

Take inventory of everyone with whom you have contact.

Everyone has something you can learn from. Even those who have a low level of skill can help you learn something new. I used to get annoyed (and still do if I’m honest) when chi sauing with partners who used too much strength. “It’s just not chi sau!” Instead, I could be using this chi sau as an opportunity to improve my ability to deflect force and to use my partner’s strength against them. Taking inventory of everyone with whom you have contact is also linked with Ip Chun’s advice to touch as many hands as you can. Everyone has something you can learn from.

Make at least one definite move daily toward your goal.

The master of positivity! Doing this not only has the effect of moving you closer to achieving your objective, it also makes you feel more positive and more empowered. Personally, I’ve made a commitment to practise my Wing Chun for an hour before work every day, and to attend 3 classes a week. This means that every day except Sunday I’m making that one definite move towards my goal of Wing Chun mastery. Damn that Sunday!

Are you making at least one definite step towards your goal?

A goal is not always meant to be reached, it often serves simply as something to aim at.

The goal is not always the point. Often, setting an unrealistic goal and working towards it can improve your performance more than setting a goal you know you can achieve. The real goal is self improvement.

Mistakes are always forgivable, if one has the courage to admit them.

While it’s true that graciously admitting your mistakes will endear you to your friends and colleagues, this practice has another benefit. You can only begin to correct something once you have acknowledged that something is wrong, or could be improved.

Real living is living for others.

I agree wholeheartedly with this. This reminds me of buddhist teachings and also the psychology of living a fulfilling life. Even Zig Ziglar advises that you can get everything you want in life if you’ll just help enough people get what they want. There is a whole book’s worth of content in exploring this one simple sentence!

To hell with circumstances; I create opportunities.

I interpret this as not being bound and limited by your circumstances. It’s easy to feel like a victim and blame your situation for not being able to do this or not having that. It’s then easy to think that you have no influence on your situation and must just endure it. However, there is always something that can be done (in most situations) even if it’s “merely” changing your attitude. Examine what you can do to change your situation for the better.

If I tell you I’m good, you would probably think I’m boasting. If I tell you I’m no good, you know I’m lying.

Better to say nothing at all! And that is spot on. What if I say something about my ability that directly contradicts my actual performance? If I say I’m good and I then get beaten up, my words are irrelevant. Similarly, if I say I’m rubbish and then go on to defend myself successfully against someone bigger and stronger than me my words again are redundant. It’s better for the opponent on the receiving end to judge

If you want to learn to swim, jump into the water. On dry land, no frame of mind is ever going to help you.

Is this a warning against thinking you can fight because you have practised martial arts? I think it might be, and if so, it makes sense. High level martial artists sometimes cannot protect themselves and conversely some people who have no formal martial arts training will whoop yo ass. The best way to get better at fighting…. is to fight. But I’m not suggesting you go and start a fight to test your skill!

It’s not what you give, it’s the way you give it.

I’m sure he missed the “baby” off the end!

Bruce Lee Quotes For Admiration

All fixed set patterns are incapable of adaptability or pliability. The truth is outside of all fixed patterns

Showing off is the fool’s idea of glory.

When you’re talking about fighting, as it is, with no rules, well then, baby you’d better train every part of your body!

Boards don’t hit back.

Classic!

The happiness that is derived from excitement is like a brilliant fire — soon it will go out. Before we married, we never had the chance to go out to nightclubs. We only spent our nights watching TV and chatting. Many young couples live a very exciting life when they are in love. So, when they marry, and their lives are reduced to calmness and dullness, they will feel impatient and will drink the bitter cup of a sad marriage.

In Jeet Kune Do, it’s not how much you have learned, but how much you have absorbed from what you have learned. It is not how much fixed knowledge you can accumulate, but what you can apply livingly that counts. ‘Being’ is more valued than ‘doing’.

There is no such thing as maturity. There is instead an ever-evolving process of maturing. Because when there is a maturity, there is a conclusion and a cessation. That’s the end. That’s when the coffin is closed. You might be deteriorating physically in the long process of aging, but your personal process of daily discovery is ongoing. You continue to learn more and more about yourself every day.

I’m not in this world to live up to your expectations and you’re not in this world to live up to mine.

Bruce Lee’s Biography

I’m currently reading Bruce Lee’s biography by Bruce Thomas. The fact that Bruce is so famous and that he is linked to Ip Man and Wing Chun make his story fascinating for me. What I particularly like is his single minded focus on improving himself.

Reading this book in bed last night, I reached the point where the author was describing Bruce’s life in the early 1960s in Seattle. At that time, Bruce was training more than 40 hours a week! I had to read that bit again. 40 hours a week. That kind of time investment equates to more than the average job. At this point in his life, Bruce was a student at University, and so could afford this kind of time investment but that doesn’t take anything away from how big a commitment this was.

If I could dedicate 40 hours a week to Wing Chun myself, I think I would struggle to fill the time. At the moment, I’m spending a lot of time on Chum Kiu, but even an hour of that is mind numbing. I would certainly have to get creative with the exercises I currently perform and devise variations of them. This way I could get the core benefit of the principle being practised, and the variation would make it more interesting.

From what I gather about Bruce Lee’s martial arts history, he spent 6 years training Wing Chun with Ip Man and then spent some time intensively studying other styles of kung fu, including praying mantis. During his teenage years he had almost daily fights, and these too would have contributed to his martial arts experience. When he started his own training school, I’m not sure that he was still seeing a teacher of his own. I know that he would travel around and look at other kung fu masters, see what they did, question them and then take from them what was useful, or refine it himself until it was. This knowledge and also the knowledge that Bruce Lee created his own art (Jeet Kune Do) implies that he must have done his own experimentation with martial arts and developed his skill independently of a teacher. Through trial and error with the students he trained one to one, he was constantly refining his technique.

It wasn’t long before Bruce became keenly interested in building mucle for speed, power and endurance, so I’m sure that many of those 40 hours would have been devoted to working out for functional fitness.

To maximise my training, the first thing I must do is identify ‘wasted’ time in my daily routine, with a view to replacing it with training time. For me this is difficult because nearly everything I do has a specific purpose. I. Am. A. Robot.  There are some areas I can address though.

Sleepless Nights

Often I go through periods where I find it hard to drop off to sleep at night. I go to bed and I just lie there, restlessly becoming more awake with every minute, even though I was tired when I first went to bed. This is wasted time! One option is to put back my bedtime by one hour and in the extra time do some Wing Chun practice. I don’t think this would make me too tired because some nights I’ve lain there awake for a few hours and I coped the following day. Going to bed later would probably have the benefit of making me so tired that I did sleep properly.

The Curse Of The Internet

I love the internet. I spend loads of time researching things and contributing to a few forums. While this is not wasted time, I could certainly cut back on the amount of time I spend on the internet without causing any serious detriment to my life. For instance, when I get home from work tonight at 6:45 I’ll switch my pc on and check my mail, write some posts on assorted forums and then get ready to go to my Wing Chun Class at 7:45. That’s an hour right there! I don’t necessarily need to do what I do in that hour. I could actually rationalise my time and maybe just do that in work time (naughty, I know) and the nights when I don’t go to class.

I finish work at 17:30 but stay until 18:00 so that I miss the rush hour traffic. In that half hour I use the internet. I could, instead, use that time for Wing Chun. There’s hardly anybody around, so I can find a quiet place to practise without feeling self conscious. That’s 2.5 hours extra a week.

As with many things, though, it’s a balancing act. Tuesday, Thursday and Friday nights are free and I could train then, but I would have to sacrifice other things like working on my websites, cleaning the house etc. I can’t just give up everything else and devote myself to Wing Chun. Unless I get married

Get To My Wing Chun Class Early

My Wing Chun class starts at around 20:15 and I get there at 20:00. Invariably there is a spare pair of hands lying around that I can chi sau with and I always make good use of them. Instead of taking this haphazard approach to getting extra chi sau practice, I’m going to ask my kung fu brothers (ha ha, that term makes me laugh!) if they want to regularly arrive 30 minutes early to practise. That’s another hour a week extra (the Saturday class goers are a little more erratic with their attendance – I shall address this in another post!).

Sifu is really hammering Chum Kiu at the moment. I knew that we were going to be tested on our knowledge at the instructor’s course, but with all this focus on Chum Kiu it seems that this form will feature prominently. This doesn’t bother me because I’ve been practising it like mad.

Today’s Chum Kiu Corrections

Today, sifu noticed the following faults in my form:

• right at the beginning, after the first punch, I’m still getting the wrist rotation wrong. It needs to be done slowly and deliberately so that you can feel the joint strain. One of the benefits of taking the time to do this right is that it strengthens the wrist. Once all fingers are gathered in, snap the fist up.
• the double jam sau at the beginning needs to be slower and more measured. The transition from that to wan lan sau still needs to be snappy, but the jam saus themselves need to be slowed down.
• In turning into the wan lan sau, there are different sections to the movement.  The body turns with the feet when they turn to 45 degrees. The feet stay where they are but the body continues a further 45 degrees (so now you are facing a full 90 degrees from the front). During these two sections, the body sinks into the stance. I need to sink more into my stance.
• Each of the 3 jik jeungs: I’m looping them under the next too flamboyantly. The movement should be minimalistic, like when chain punching. The fist of the last punch comes under the next punch going out, but the ‘looping under’ should not be exaggerated. It’s the same movement with the jik jeungs.
• Bong sau to wan lan sau: when pulling the wu sau back quickly to chamber the fist, my chambered fist needs to be higher up the body. At the moment it’s hanging down too low.
• Interestingly, the part where you rest your fist on one wan lan sau before punching: when you rest the fist, you are not yet facing 90 degrees from the front as above. Instead, it’s onlt 45 degrees. This means that you can rotate the remaining 45 degrees, adding more power to your punch.

I like all these corrections because they keep me focused and motivated. They give me something very specific to work on in my practice sessions. Sifu said I should work on it every day, so now I don’t need to have the mental argument in my head about what to practise in my solitary sessions.

I’ve started doing my Wing Chun training in the gym near where I work. I don’t like an audience, but I’ve found a room that never seems to get used when I’m there. It’s ideal. Unfortunately, the lights seem to be on a timer/motion senser. This means that after five minutes of there being no movement in the room, the lights go off. There are no windows, so the room is plunged into darkness. Any further movement switchs the lights back on.

Guess who uses that room to do their siu lim tau in? Yes, of course, it’s me. So five minutes into my siu lim tau form, I find I’m in the dark. This, ordinarily wouldn’t be such a bad thing. In fact, I find it quite calming and restful to do siu lim tau in the dark. Except that I time my form and the watch that I hang in front of me doesn’t have a dial I can see in the dark. Calamity.

So this lunchtime, I nipped out and bought a clock that displays the time using bright red LEDs. Problem solved. The fact that I’m buying ‘special equipment’ to aid my Wing Chun training motivates me all the more.

Despite the inability to time my siu lim tau this morning, I still managed to stretch it out to 30 minutes, so I was really happy about that. I must say that my knees are really stiff after that, and it takes maybe five minutes of gentles walking to get the stiffness to subside. No pain, no gain.

Before my recent Wing Chun training regime change, I used to weight train in the gym at lunch. The gym is a 10 – 15 minute drive away, meaning my session could entail as much as a 30 minute drive. Doing a worthwhile weight training session + shower/change time takes my lunch hour well over 60 minutes. To compensate for my lengthy lunch hour, I used to get to work early and make up the time. My new Wing Chun training regime, however, requires that I do an hour of Wing Chun before work so I can’t now get to work early and make up the time.

Busting My Ass

This means the 30 minute Wing Chun workout I’d scheduled for lunch is not going to work. 15 minutes to drive to the gym + 10 minutes getting changed x 2 leaves a pathetic 10 minutes for Wing Chun. It’s crazy busting my ass to do just 10 minutes practice.

I’m English and I said “busting my ass”.

The only alternative is to do Wing Chun at work in my lunch hour. This is a very touchy subject, as I don’t like an audience. My workplace is full of suit wearing office workers. Rounding the corner to see me standing on one leg doing siu lim tau would probably freak someone out.

Put Water Into A Fountain – It Becomes The Fountain

Tentatively, I’m thinking about practising by the water fountain. At lunch, most people go out of the office, so the place will be pretty empty. And the water fountain area is out of site of the two open plan offices it serves. I’ll try it out and see how it goes.

OK I tried it out and it was a disappointing experience. The area is so small that I get in the way when people want to get a glass of water from the fountain. Not to mention the shock on their faces as they come round the corner and see me flailing my arms around like there’s something wrong with me. Despondent. Bruce Lee used to practise in restaurant car parks but I don’t know whether I’ve got the guts to do it in the car park here.

Wing Chun Exercises That Don’t Make You Sweat

An added problem with training at work is that there are no showers here. This means that getting hot and sweaty is not a good idea. Siu lim tau is banned then, as that makes me sweat profusely, as does any energetic exercise. Banned. Also narrowing my options is the fact that I’m wearing a shirt and trousers so anything involving a degree of flexibility is out the window. Another limitation is the lack of space in the water fountain area. Here is a list of exercises I’ve come up with that I think I could do:

• turning (wan lan sau, bong sau, kwan sau).
• fist clenching to outstretched fingers, repeating over and over (good for strengthening the fist).
• footwork. Outdance the water fountain.
• dummy form. It doesn’t take up that much room (about the room needed to house a dummy).

The selection of exercises I can do at work is a cut down version of all the exercises available but I can look at this as an opportunity to focus and perfect.

It’s a real pain in the ass that the gym is so far away.

Last night we split into two groups; the more senior one practising chum kiu and the junior one practising siu lim tau. We absolutely hammered chum kiu. Sifu pointed out loads of things I was doing wrong and also gave very useful applications of some of the moves in the form. I’ll detail those later.

This morning I spent a whole hour in the gym practising the corrections to my rendition of chum kiu. My routine was as follows:

• Do chum kiu a couple of times all the way through, paying attention to the corrections sifu pointed out.
• Review the first correction to the form on my list and do chum kiu up to that point. Then spend 10 minutes practising over and over just the faulty move.
• Move on to the next correction: review it and then perform chum kiu from the start to the faulty move. Then practise just the correction to the faulty move over and over for 10 minutes.
• Repeat this cycle until all faulty moves had been practised.
• Do chum kiu maybe 4 more times in its entirety, paying particular attention to the previously faulty moves.

I found doing it this very beneficial. I was able to both isolate and rectify techniques I was performing incorrectly by focusing so intently on them, but I was  also able to feel the corrected technique in the context of the whole form.

Chum Kiu Improvements

Going through the moves of chum kiu in sequence, here is a list of corrections and applications of techniques:

• After the double jum sau near the beginning of the form go straight into wan lan sau. Up to now, I’ve been pausing deliberately between these two movements, but the immediacy of the transition mimics the immediacy of going from jum sau to the next technique in a real situation.
• The practical application of the double jum sau is simply the single jum sau, for example to meet a straight punch. You would never do a double jum sau – this is just for practice! When doing the jum sau, it’s the fleshy part of your forearm that meets forearm of the incoming punch, though it acts like a pak sau.
• The double fak sau after the four wan lan sau turns is just for practice. In reality, again you would only do one fak sau.
• Further on, the turn into a single bar arm that is intended to ‘bounce’ the attacker – that needs work. My power is lacking in this area. Sifu advised us to just practise that move in isolation but with the bouncing arm relaxed and away from the body as it’s easier than doing it from a chambered hand.
• The application of this is to bounce someone off who has grabbed your arm.
• When stepping in a straight line, sigong has the front foot parallel to the rear foot (45 degrees) but tai-sigong has his front foot pointing forwards. I don’t think it really matters – just be consistent.
• The double bouncing low bong sau (what a mouthful!). I’m sure there must be a more concise name for this, but I don’t know it. Mine needs to be higher and the hands, wrist and forearm need to be completely straight, whereas at the moment I have the tendency to curl them in.
• The application of this can be found in regular chi sau, I think if someone is pushing into you. Relax and let it go a little, and then bounce them whilst stepping in.
• Changing from that double low bong sau to the double tok sau is just so you can start again – it has no application.
• After the eye strike near the end, the double jut sau can be used to break your attacker’s grip, for example if they’re holding your wrists. The subsequent push is to then disrupt their balance.
• The final turn before the left leg kick – make sure you are balanced before you kick!
• Next, when you turn from pak sau to pak sau, make the turns smooth and don’t bounce.
• The pak saus should feel similar to the yeung jeungs at the start of the second section in siu lim tau.

Wing Chun Footwork

I asked sifu when to use the straight step and when to use the c shaped step. The straight step is used for covering small distances whereas with the c-step you can cover greater distances. Using the c-step, you can also place your feet more appropriately in relation to your attacker’s feet. I know that that’s used in the Wing Chun dummy forms (or at least the one I know).

More practice!

All Out Wing Chun Training

In the run up to the instructor’s course that I’ve been invited to attend, I thought I would go all out in my training, just for the hell of it. Motivated by my hours to mastery estimation (just for fun), I worked out that training twice a day I can accumulate many more training hours in a year than I have in the last three years of training. I didn’t realise how half hearted my training was until I detailed it on paper. I recommend you doing the same.

So what I propose to do is spend an hour in the gym before work and then half an hour in the gym at lunch, working on various aspects of Wing Chun. If you add to that three hours worth of lessons (there are three lessons I can attend a week), then that makes a total of 10.5 hours a week I can train. I’ll give myself half an hour off a week and round it down to 10 hours, for the sake of my maths.

A Monk’s Life

If I hope to achieve this goal, one of the things I’m going to have to do is give up booze. I just don’t feel like training the day after a night drinking, so boozing is a real impediment. With Friday night being a popular time for a booze fest, my Saturday class is in a precarious position. Must be strong!

Santa – Motivation Guru

As far as motivation goes, look what Santa brought me! That erudite man brought me three different books on Bruce Lee:

• Tao of Jeet Kune Do
• The Art of Expressing the Human Body
• Bruce Lee: Fighting Spirit

They all look good, but the one I’ve started reading is The Art of Expressing the Human Body. I found even the first few pages very motivating. I think the book is going to turn into some kind of training journal for Bruce Lee, which may or may not be useful to me in my Wing Chun training. I never really knew much about Bruce Lee, but the thing that strikes me so far is his dedication and commitment to his art. He was a real perfectionist. This is just the kind of role model I need so I’ll be reading this book every night.

Vanity

In stepping up my Wing Chun training, something else has to give and that’s my weight training. I’m sacrificing my lunch time weight training session for Wing Chun. Whilst this will accelerate my skill development, I’m concerned about how my body will change.

At the moment, I like the way that my regular weight training makes my muscles look toned, and bigger than they ordinarily would be. This is pure vanity, of course, and I realise it. All the same, I’m going to miss that muscle size and definition. Going back to Bruce Lee for a moment, he strove for functionality in all things. He did weight training himself, but for the purpose of developing speed, power and endurance. Not solely for enhancing aesthetics (though by all accounts he did enjoy the side benefit of looking good). In contrast, my weight training is in no way geared to making my Wing Chun better; it’s just for looks. So what I think I will do is focus on developing my Wing Chun skill and revisit the idea of developing speed, power and endurance through weight training at a later date.

I’m excited, because I’ve not made such a big positive decision regarding my Wing Chun training before. I’ve been weight training consistently now for eight years, so giving that up is a big change too!

I can report that this morning’s session was a doddle. I got up at 6:30 and was in the gym by 7:15. After a 15 minute warm up I did an hour of Wing Chun practice and then went to work. I’m now going to set off for my lunch time practice (yeah, I know I should be working….).

Though not strictly related to Wing Chun, with all the furore going on about the Ip Man movie, and with Donnie Yen taking the starring role as Ip Man, here are some details about the Donnie Yen Training Routine. Here is an impressive showcase of not just his training routine, but also his excellent all round martial arts skills. The first half comprises Donnie Yen’s training, whereas the second half is more a showcase of his film roles (and obvious skill). There is also some behind the scenes footage.

As you can see, his training includes:

• boxing
• ground fighting
• cardio work (obviously)
• nunchaku
• bag work

Here is a very informative video that gives some background to Yen’s childhood and introduction to the martial arts by his mother. His mother started his training when he was a mere four years old.

Here is some footage of Ip Chun practising chi sau with Donnie Yen. I’m sure like everyone else, I was trying to gauge Yen’s Wing Chun skill from this footage. It’s hard to do this though as the clip doesn’t reveal much. It’s clear to see that Yen has fast hands, but that must be due to his extensive martial arts experience.

It’s amazing to think that this next clip is 20 years old now! Here Donnie Yen is leading a class on martial arts for the movies, and fight choreography.

Here is an Ip Man Interview that Donnie Yen gave. It’s a bit difficult (OK, impossible) for me to understand what’s being said because it’s all in Cantonese, but I’m sure chisautube gets mentioned!

In a more in depth Ip Man interview, Donnie Yen explains that the Ip Man movie is a biography of Ip Man, the great grandmaster of Wing Chun. The charts the events in Ip Man’s life in Foshan and portrays his refusal to teach Wing Chun to the Japanes army after they invaded. Here, Donnie Yen reveals that the Ip Man movie is only one half of the Ip Man story. There will be a sequel.

Part two will feature his move to Hong Kong and his later introduction to Bruce Lee.

I did smile when Mr Yen told the interviewer that Ip Man resembles him. Of course Ip Man probably wasn’t as modest as Yen! I’m just messing.
