He who wants to succeed should learn how to fight, to strive and to suffer. You can acquire a lot in life, if you are prepared to give up a lot to get it.

The essence of fighting is the art of moving at the right time.

You must have complete determination. The worst opponent you can come across is one whose aim has become an obsession. For instance, if a man has decided that he is going to bite off your nose no matter what happens 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.

Determination, Real, Fighting

I personally do not believe in the word style. Why? Because, unless there are human beings with three arms and four legs, unless we have another group of human beings that are structually different from us, there can be no different style of fighting.

Bruce Lee (2015). “Bruce Lee Jeet Kune Do: Bruce Lee's Commentaries on the Martial Way”, p.28, Tuttle Publishing

Forget about winning and losing, forget about pride and pain

Pain, Fighting, Pride

Bruce Lee (2015). “Bruce Lee: Artist of Life”, p.192, Tuttle Publishing

Forget about winning and losing; forget about pride and pain. Let your opponent graze your skin and you smash into his flesh; let him smash into your flesh and you fracture his bones; let him fracture your bones and you take his life! Do not be concerned with escaping safely- lay your life before him!!

Life, Pain, Fighting

Bruce Lee (2015). “Bruce Lee: Artist of Life”, p.192, Tuttle Publishing

A good martial artist does not become tense, but ready. Not thinking, yet not dreaming. Ready for whatever may come. When the opponent expands, I contract; and when he contracts, I expand. And when there is an opportunity, "I" do not hit, "it" hits all by itself.

Dream, Fighting, Artist

"Fictional character: Lee". "Enter the Dragon", 1973.

Take things as they are. Punch when you have to punch. Kick when you have to kick.

Fighting, Reality, Greatness

When you fight, if it is a real fight, use every tool that you have, use your whole body. Use your fists, your legs, your fingers, your head if you have to, and hit them in every vulnerable spot, the balls, the eyes etc. to win.

Real, Eye, Fighting

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

My style? You can call it the art of fighting without fighting.

"Fictional character: Lee". "Enter the Dragon", www.imdb.com. 1973.

There's so much myth and baloney. Like a 80-year-old man able to manhandle a 300-pounder with his little finger. Ridiculous. Or this matter of breaking bricks and boards wth the edge of your hand. Now I ask you, did you ever see a brick or a board pick a fight with anybody?

Jeet Kune Do favors formlessness so that it can assume all forms and since Jeet Kune Do has no style, it can fit in with all styles. As a result, Jeet Kune Do utilizes all ways and is bound by none and, likewise, uses any techniques which serve its end.
