How to learn Intercepting Fist Do

There is no real tutorial for Intercepting Fist Do, otherwise it would go against Bruce Lee's intention of founding it in the first place.

The Intercept is premised on philosophy, and you should learn his philosophy first

as follows:

The purpose of practicing kung fu is not to dedicate ourselves to breaking rocks or woodblocksWe are more concerned with using it to influence our entire way of thinking and living ----- Bruce Lee

Dump empty your mind. Formless and formless - like water. Pour water into a cup and it takes the shape of a cup. Pour water into a bottle and it takes the shape of a bottle. Pour water into a bowl and it takes the shape of a bowl. Water can flow freely or splash. Like water, my friend.

When I first started practicing martial arts, I was intoxicated by the idea of challenging traditional authorities, and of course accepting challenges from others. But I learned that a challenge meant only one thing: How do you react to it? How does it knock you down? It's easy to see if you trust yourself, because you ask yourself: am I really afraid of that person? Do I have the slightest doubt or fear that he will strike me down? If I have no doubt or fear, I can see it as easily as if a rainstorm were coming today, and tomorrow, my friend, the sun will rise again.

Man is always in the process of learning, whereas a "school" is an end, a certainty, a rigidity. You must not be, because you are learning every day you grow.

The foundations of (each martial) art started from certain hypothetical situations. But now it has become the truth, and those who fall into it have all become products of it. It doesn't matter who you are, how you are constructed, how you are built, how you are made ...... none of that seems to matter. You just join the sect and become its product. And that, in my opinion, is wrong.

If (martial arts) is a sport, then you're talking about something else now, you've got rules and restrictions. But if you're talking about combat, which means there are no rules and restrictions, then, my friend, you'd better go train every part of your body!

All knowledge ...... ultimately means self-knowledge.

In the beginning, I practiced aimlessly, and now I still practice, yet self leads to truth.

(Success) has not changed me, because I realize that in my (life), what is called breaking a record is simply that something happened. It doesn't mean anything, you know. It was just something that happened. I don't have any reason to be proud or to think I'm better than I was before.

When you're successful, when you become famous, it's very, very easy to be blindly arrogant about it. Everyone comes up to you and shouts "Mr. Lee". When you have long hair, they're like, "Hey man, he's so hip! He's so hip!" But if you're anonymous, they'll say, "Man, look at that nasty, childish hooligan!" If you can't see what life is really like, then immediately a great game is played. That's just the way it is. But most people are used to being fooled by it because something is repeated so many times that you believe it. It then becomes habit.

Whenever I look around, I always understand one thing and that is: always be yourself,...... express yourself and stand up for what you believe in. Don't go looking for a successor and then imitate him.

For me, martial arts ultimately means expressing yourself faithfully. And doing so is very difficult. I can put on a show and be proud and egotistical and think I'm cool. I can also do some hypocritical words and actions. Or show you the odd gimmick show or two. These are all very easy. But expressing myself faithfully, rather than deceiving myself, my friend, that's really hard to do.

Nowadays, you can't just walk down the street and kick or punch someone, because if you do (and the other person simply pulls out a gun) - bang! That's it. I mean, I don't even care how great you are.

I have no fear of any opponent in front of me. I am supremely confident and they cannot possibly annoy me. When I wrestle - when I do anything - I will focus all of my energy, then man, you better kill me before I knock you out.

If I tell you I'm great, maybe you'll say I'm bragging. But if I tell you I can't, you'll know I'm lying.

Bruce Lee Quotes: The Intercept

＊ Take the infinite for the finite, the lawless for the lawful.

＊ The Interceptor confronts the actual, not the futile form.

＊ The Way of the Intercepting Fist is indifferent to form, so it can be adapted to any form in order to reach the highest state.

＊ Fixed forms cannot be adapted to real situations and changes, but only create a cage for the practitioner himself, while the truth is outside the cage.

* Uninstructed does not really mean uninstructed, and teaching without instruction is far-reaching. Formless form does not really mean formlessness. Formless form is the evolution of form to a higher and more perfect state of self-expression.

＊ The Way avoids all superficiality and insubstantiality, and goes straight to the heart of the matter.

＊ Mastering Interceptor does not mean adding more, but cutting away the non-essential.

＊ What distinguishes Intercepting Fist Do from traditional martial arts in general is that it does not have the kind of unique laws, categorized techniques, and is not strictly philosophical.

＊ The Interceptor's view of the martial arts is based on a variety of favorable perspectives. Because it makes full use of a variety of ways and methods (functional supremacy), it is completely free from any constraints.

＊ Intercepting fist is all-encompassing, but not all-encompassing!

＊ There is no preparedness program in Jeet Kune Do, and there is no need for one.

＊ In Jeet Kune Do, we are only discovering what we don't know, not taking what is already there.

＊ "Form" can never be regarded as an eternal law or a classic, because human beings are creative beings, and the "human being" is always more important than the "form"

Form "It will always be much more important.

＊ The form of boxing is only a part of the whole, and any form needs to be corrected, analyzed, rejected, discarded, and many self-reflections need to be made.

* There is no such thing as a "standard" in the overall form of combat, and the method of play should be absolutely free.

＊ I would like to remind you that Intercepting Kung Fu is only a representative name, not a school.

* Intercepting Fist Do is like "a finger pointing to the moon", but don't think that the finger is the moon, and don't look at the finger so much that you lose sight of the beauty of space. The function of that finger is only to point to the "light". As for how much "space knowledge" you can acquire in the future? It is up to you to realize it.

* I can't teach you, I can only help you study yourself.

* It is important to teach a person to do what he can do, just to be himself. ...... I am against imposing a style on someone. It's an artistic hair, an

art of self-expression.

＊ When a person has matured in martial arts, then his form should be a formless form. This process of growth, of maturity, is like melting hair ice into water that molds various shapes. Only when a person is formless in martial arts can he have all forms; only when a hair individual is styleless can he adapt to all styles.

* "Jeet Kune Do" is an exercise, a principle that points to the ultimate reality of the art of fighting. The "ultimate reality" is to return to the truth, to return to that simple hair, direct, no type, no style of the original free realm.

＊ The person who penetrates Jiekendo will never fight against force, nor will he avoid force; he will be as flexible as a spring, not resisting the enemy's force, but borrowing the enemy's force, and he will have no strategy, and he will take opportunity as his strategy.

* What the situation will be what the reaction, do not have to pretend, and do not need to "dull" prelude to prepare, the action should be as fast as the shadow. Your duty is to do the other half of the whole at the same time.

＊ The person who learns Jeet Kune Do is not increasing, but decreasing; not increasing with each passing day, but decreasing with each passing day. The highest level of attainment is simplicity, and if you want to be beautiful, you are only half a bucket of water! Therefore, it does not matter how much stereotyped knowledge someone has accumulated, but whether he can use it. "Hairdressing solution" than the single "do", in any case more valuable.

＊ In order to understand Jeet Kune Do, one must experience it one at a time, in the "mirror of relationships"; isolated activity is useless; to exist is to develop relationships; to be isolated is to die.

＊ Any technique, no matter how ideal or valuable, becomes a disease when it disturbs the mind!

* Learn the principles, abide by the principles, decompose the principles; in a word, stay in the mode for confinement, abide by the principles for the principles of bondage!

＊ With me to practice the intercepting fist, remember - all fixed forms lack of adaptability and flexibility, the truth is that outside of all the established models, try to use the issuance of the kind of water bags that can be changed at will shape it!

* Those who have perfected the art of martial arts will adopt the form of no form. Like an ice cube dissolving in water, it can take on any shape. When the technique is formless, it can take on any shape; when the technique is formless, it can be adapted to any style.

* When you realize the truth of Intercepting Fist Do, you will be like standing in the center of the Circle of No Circumference.

* The skill of Juken-do is like no circle at all; it moves as if it were not moving; it is tense as if it were relaxed; it observes the life of the outside world without paying attention to it; it has no purpose; it has no conscious calculation; it has no expectation; it has no anticipation; it has no preconceived notion - in short, it is like a baby's innocence, but it is full of tact and keen intelligence.

This is the first time I've ever seen a person with a baby.

＊ The ultimate in the art of Jeet Kune Do is not in the trivial, fragmented moves, but in the nurturing of the mind and the training of the body to the limit.

＊ The Way is not a method of disability, but a path toward the true meaning of life. We can only see through others when we understand ourselves, and the Way is a step toward understanding ourselves.

＊ The enlightenment of Jeet Kune Do comes from an intuitive mind, a strong will, and restraint.

＊ Emptiness, because it is nothing and everything, exists in everything and embraces everything.

* If you let your heart be free from any rigidity, then everything outside will open up. Observe things with the innocence and simplicity of a baby, free from all knowledge, and the true meaning will be there.

* A wrestler must always be able to keep his mind simple, with only one goal in mind - how to wrestle. He must remove the obstacles that stand in his way whether they are physical, emotional, or intellectual.

* In order to understand the truth of martial arts, to know your enemy, you must put aside all sectarian ideas, prejudices, love and hate, and then your mind can be calm and free of bias, and in this calmness, you can see things clearly and holistically.

Bruce Lee Quotes: Philosophy

, and be able to do what others can't.

If we want to be different from others, we must first understand ourselves, be vigilant, and be able to do something amazing

* If a human being is able to utilize his talents as freely as possible, it is possible to determine his future destiny,

such as literature, art, music, science, or all kinds of technology, and so on, to reach great achievements.

But no matter what kind of art he is involved in, he must first know himself well, and understand his own abilities, hobbies, and inclinations before he can develop in a particular art. If one's ability is not as good as one's own and

If one is reluctant to engage in it, the result will be only destruction and wastage of time, not to mention creation and construction.

* With self-esteem, a person can clearly "guide" himself towards the right path. Therefore, one should constantly maintain one's self-esteem, which will help one to realize one's own potential and promote one's own work. Not only that, but we should repeat the estimation of our own potential every day to see if it has increased.

* Sometimes, dignity is not easy to get, for some interests, may abandon all dignity; or for the sake of fame, dignity is also disregarded. To summarize, what the world is generally keen on is to make a name for itself.

* Neither fame nor arrogance is enough, so the first thing in life is to know oneself.

＊ Self-understanding is the most difficult thing, and we can easily realize that trying to utilize our talents is actually a thorny path, so a gifted person should try to develop his career, and force himself to create a new business, and the result will be a success that will not be lost in the world.

＊ The biggest common problem of the general public is that they are too complacent and think that they are great, so they lack of motivation. The other kind of person is too unaware of enough, hair insatiable, no self-discipline to speak of, not to mention self-policing.

＊ Pride is one of the manifestations of wrong human emotions, and self-esteem is the basic latent human consciousness. Pride is abnormal when one imagines that one is a leader, that one is holier than others, that one is more powerful than others, and that one looks down on others. Pride makes people impatient, so that people are afraid to send, pride is fragile, is sensitive, when our confidence is shaken, or produce a sense of inferiority, pride is the abyss separating people and achievements, in order to send to boast themselves, people will be willing to sacrifice their dignity.

* Why are we afraid? This is because we are not able to make a decision, and when we hesitate, we are afraid. But if we are able to make a clear judgment about something, we will not shy away from it, regardless of whether it is worthwhile or not.

＊ It is also a sign of courage to regard something as extremely worthless; it is also a sign of courage to regard something as absolutely successful or as a matter of course, but it is a sign of cowardice to be at a loss about something. The same applies to the enemy. If you inspire yourself with confidence, even if you fail, you will still be victorious in spirit.

* If you want to increase your confidence and dignity, you need to do more practical work. Practical work will show your talent and you will be able to get along with others in a harmonious way.

* We must restrain our emotions, do not be troubled by emotions, bad emotions will only hinder our learning or career development, this is one of the steps to understand themselves.

＊ People tell me that a genius can create his own opportunities. In fact, a person's deepest expectations can not only create his own opportunities, but also create his own genius!

* With the passage of time, heroes and ordinary people will die, will slowly disappear in people's memories. And we are still alive. We are forced to realize ourselves, to discover ourselves, to express ourselves.

＊ Knowing is not enough, you have to use it; hoping is not enough, you have to do it.

* Empty your cup before you can fill it again.

Bruce Lee Quotes: Martial Arts

The current situation and development of the Intercepting Fist Do

The current situation of the development of the Intercepting Fist Do

(A) the socialization of the Intercepting Fist Do is further strengthened: firstly, the Intercepting Fist Do enters into the high-level field of modernized education, and ascends the platform of higher education from the folk, such as the headquarters of the International Bruce Lee Special Training has been jointly run with Hunan Sports College, and so on. Secondly, Jeet Kune Do is going to social enterprises, that is, some Jeet Kune Do organizations have been married with some enterprises to create a new way of Jeet Kune Do development. Furthermore, the folk of the intercepted fist movement is quite extensive, the country has millions of people in the study of intercepted fist, public, private, individual intercepted fist martial arts hall, intercepted fist school continues to emerge, all over the urban areas, in the country once again set off a big wave of intercepted fist.

(2) the interception of boxing monographs of high quality and large circulation: in order to meet the needs of the majority of amateur enthusiasts and professionals, as of now on the halo has published a variety of monographs, such as the author of the "Bruce Lee's combat kung fu essence of the interception of boxing," "Bruce Lee's style to show the interception of boxing kung fu tutorials," and "Bruce Lee's heirloom of the stunts - the interception of boxing kung fu". -Intercepting Fist Do Kung Fu", but also about Mr. Wenming's "Intercepting Fist Do Huizong" and Mr. Zhong Haiming's compilation of "Bruce Lee's Technique" and Kung Fu training expert Mr. Gao Hongpeng's "Bruce Lee kicking method explanation" and so on. Last year, Beijing Sports University Press published the only picture book on Bruce Lee's life, film career, Jeet Kune Do techniques, "Portrait of Bruce Lee", which was well received by Jeet Kune Do enthusiasts. The release of these monographs, the development of the domestic interception of boxing has played a role in promoting.

(C) the deepening of the scientific research of the Interceptor: the Interceptor is a comprehensive discipline of technical sports program. In recent years, the majority of research experts and aesthetics, psychology, philosophy and other disciplines of the combination of scientific researchers, carried out a variety of scientific research, has made certain achievements, Hunan Province, "China International Bruce Lee Intercepting Fist Do Research Association" is one of the brightest. In addition, sponsored by the Association of the country's only professional research journal of Jeet Kune Do "Jeet Kune Do World" has begun formal action, and has published three issues, which is the world's Jeet Kune Do history of a major event. Furthermore, the movie "Master of Intercepting Fist" starring Mr. Shi Tianlong, a martial arts expert, will soon meet with the general audience, which is also a great event in the world of Intercepting Fist Do.

(4) Intercepting Fist Do is going to the world: Intercepting Fist Do is the valuable cultural heritage of the Chinese people, but also a brilliant pearl of human culture. At present, Jeet Kune Do is going global. First of all, some of the domestic organizations are in line with the international interception of boxing; Secondly, the interception of boxing expert Hao Gang, headed by visiting exchange groups have been to the United States at the end of 1996 and some of Bruce Lee's pro-disciple exchange and learning, which in turn makes the world history of the interception of boxing took a welcome step forward.

The development prospect of Jeet Kune Do

I personally believe that Jeet Kune Do should be further improved in the future in terms of technical systematization, rationalization of the competition system and rules, and standardization of the ranking system, so as to make it early among the international competitions. The development of Jeet Kune Do, the future should be "six" direction.

1, the theory of scientific: the intercepting fist has a rich theoretical content and cultural connotation, it is a collection of philosophy, aesthetics, psychology, mechanics, art of war, Buddhism and other cultures in one. It has profound scientific theory and practical value. Therefore, there must be a scientific theoretical approach to study and explain the connotation and extension of the Interceptor.

2, segmentation rationalization: I am the world after Bruce Lee, the first to propose and carry out the Intercepting Fist Road segmentation system envisaged by the person, but unfortunately, this desire has not yet been achieved, because it requires the vast number of the same way of *** with the same efforts, rather than relying on my personal strength can be accomplished. The paragraph system can guide the practitioners to develop on a correct path.

3, action standardization: Interceptor as a competitive sport, the need for complete competition rules, but also the need for a complete and unified action. At present, the country has been out of a few instructional videotapes, but that can only to some extent on behalf of the demonstrator's personal style, does not yet belong to the full meaning of the Interceptor and Bruce Lee's techniques.

4, training systematization: Interceptor simple and easy to learn, but to really master, but also need to carry out scientific and systematic training. To start from the basic skills, basic movements, from shallow to deep, step by step, and gradually form the correct power stereotypes for the improvement of Bruce Lee's Intercepting Fist Do to lay a solid foundation.

5, competition institutionalization: Interceptor to the world, become an international competitive project, must rely on the corresponding competition system to ensure. From the development of the current situation, is promising. We have to adhere to and improve the domestic competition system at the same time, and actively organize international invitational tournaments, tournaments, in order to accelerate the process of international promotion of Jeet Kune Do.

6, innovation to be practical: the development of Jeet Kune Do, but also need to further innovation. Because we need to further study and research a lot of things, and these things can be fully integrated into the Interceptor. The fact that Jeet Kune Do is not yet complete and systematized leaves us with a lot of work to do. Innovation is the core and precursor to the modernization and scientificization of the entire training process of Jeet Kune Do, without which there would be no development of modern training. Only innovation can make the Intercepting Fist Do always maintain a vigorous vitality.

How to promote Jeet Kune Do to the world

This proposal, although it still seems a bit vague, but it is something to be realized sooner or later. It is also a ****same wish of all Intercepting Fist Do enthusiasts! Personally, I believe that the following four issues need to be addressed in order for Intercepting Fist Do to be successfully introduced to the world.

1, as soon as possible to form an international organization of the interception of boxing: now each country basically have their own organization of the interception of boxing, the problem is that there is no international unity of the organization to coordinate and manage. Interceptor organizations in various countries can not fight separately, should form a united front, like the "International Taekwondo Federation General Assembly" and "World Karate Federation" and other organizations.

2, the domestic intercepting fist organization should strengthen cooperation: now the domestic intercepting fist development faster, at present, there are four large-scale domestic intercepting fist organization, but not yet able to join hands in a concerted effort to promote and develop. Good in Hunan, "Bruce Lee Interceptor Research Association" has taken the lead in the amazing step in the publication of the Association's "Interceptor World" magazine opened a "friendly school line", which is a major feat in the history of China's martial arts.

3, to carry out professional Jeet Kune Do competition: that is, the use of competition to stimulate the development and improvement of technical and tactical Jeet Kune Do. At present, the Interceptor organization said their own high level, they are authentic, it does not matter, the important thing is that you can not fight in the ring to win, if you can win, if you do not need to say, the country will go to recognize you and respect you. Unfortunately, no one dares to come out to challenge and answer the battle.

4, as soon as possible to cultivate a high level of boxing teaching talent: At present, the constraints of boxing to a high level of development of one of the biggest obstacles, is the lack of high-level teaching talent. Because some coaches are able to fight and the theory can not, which lost the connotation and core of the Interceptor; and some coaches are good theory, however, the actual combat kung fu can not, can only talk about the military, so the coach naturally can not be called a qualified instructor. Moreover, at present, the domestic high level of talent, know English only a few people, if the language is not how to go abroad to promote the Interceptor? In this regard, the development of karate and taekwondo experience is worth learning and learning, because these two in the promotion of foreign countries, sent by the talent are both kung fu and English excellence.
