"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 into a teapot it becomes the teapot. Now, water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend."

Bruce Lee, one of the greatest fighters the world has ever known, pushed the limits of modern martial arts by developing their philosophical roots. He returned to the source of martial art knowledge, which led him to the concept of Jeet Kune Do: having no way as a way, e.g. to adapt to everything in order to surpass it, be it a single street fight or physical training. Bruce Lee was not only a philosopher or a fighter, but also someone who cared about health and life on a grand, cosmic scale.

Contributor David Ravel (http://www.corrupt.org/users/david_ravel) presents the world famous martial arts fighter and traditional Chinese philosopher Bruce Lee, elaborating on his concept of Jeet Kune Do, his physical training, and his cosmic Taoist philosophy.

I like Corrupt's Profile series. People worth bothering to notice is a superior alternative to the Jolie, Hilton and Spears brain damage spilling out the semitically correct television screen.

He died of full-body seizure and cerebral edema on May 10, 1973. Some events foreshadowed his death, but nothing could have been done to prevent it.Weird.

Bruce Lee was an undisciplined hack who had less than 4 years of training in Wing Chun kung fu. He also needed steroids to bulk up to a measly 160 pounds.

His "mysterious" illness was probably the result of his heavy abuse of painkillers.

Good point.

This is such bullshit

"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 into a teapot it becomes the teapot. Now, water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend."

What about mind numbing repetitions of moves and hours of practice and sparring?
