Bruce Lee Interview, his opinion of kung-fu

NordlichReitersays...

He is fast, but i wonder if his speed would hit with force. In kung fu it is said that speed is every thing, it is not. Tai Chi does requite speed to throw an opponent, speed is not everything. Presence of mind, calmness of mind, and many more concentrative ideals are needed to practice and use Martial Arts.

I would argue that Kung Fu (kung fu meaning great skill or great art, or even great work) is not the best martial art, but coupled with grappling and boxing skills it would be great. There is no one martial artist who does not know how to adapt other styles to his skills. Kung Fu by meaning is not an style, there are so many styles, Chen Tai Chi, Wu Tai Chi, Mok Gar, Shaolin, Wushu, Wing Chun, Hsing I Chaun, Ba Kua (ba Qua). When kung fu is mentioned it usually means Chinese Martial Arts and only chinese martial arts, but with the true meaning of the words Great Skill (Kung Fu) it encompaces all things.

"In knowing one thing, Know all things."
Myomato Mushashi -Book of Five Rings

I prize any video with martial arts in it, because it gives me a chance to see different forms!

UPVOTE!!!!

But his fighting wasn't just speed without the essence of power, it was intercepting the other foes attack and striking critical points. Wasn't it?

Just the very idea of Jeet Kun Do would really require a high mastery of all tenants of martial arts.

No, you are not allowed to register just to vote- you are now in the Sift Motel. Members check in - but they don't check out. [cut to gooey floor covered with entangled sifters]

That reminds me - I have to go find that SNL commercial.
