| Re: Spike's fighting style - Jeet Kune Do
I can't remember which episode it is (forgive me!)
But a guy sees Spike whoop a bounty on a plane, and begs for him to teach him... And Spike uses Bruce Lee's "be like water" analogy... it's great.
I took Jeet Kune Do for about 8 years. It's not supposed to be a style... That's the whole point for Bruce Lee developing the techniques used. In my class, there were no belt levels, and we had no uniform.
I was taught that it's not about "mastering" Jeet Kune Do... It's about being able to apply the techniques in any situation according to your own body. Indeed, it's physically demanding... And at times I was so sore from training I could hardly walk!! >.<;; Can I do all that amazing stuff Bruce Lee can? Not quite!! No one but Bruce Lee can. But all you really need is an understanding of the philosophy, coupled with the physical techniques. I learned to have total control over my entire body and mind in any situation... Which I am thankful for. ^_^
It's actually hard to explain! Sorry if it doesn't makes sense... lol! |
