Ever since I was 9 years old, I was deeply interested in Bruce Lee and Martial Arts.
The first Bruce Lee film I ever saw was Fist of Fury. His magnificent charisma and extraordinary talent inspired me into his works and his philosophy.
The second Bruce Lee film I saw was Way of the Dragon. This ‘light’ humoured film surely did add a little comedy into this Martial Arts spectacular film. The ‘Double-Handed Nunchaku’ was surely not one to forget. The stunning scene in which Bruce takes on a wave of mafia enforcements with only 2, and then 1 set of nunchaku is truly a scene I will remember for the rest of my life.
The third, The Big Boss. WOW!!!! That was some film! The ancient art which Bruce Lee used since he was 13 years of age, Wing Chun, definitely displays the great techniques that can be used to counter an opponent.
The forth Bruce Lee film I watched was Enter the Dragon. Words cannot explain how amazing Bruce’s charisma and talent gave this film (you can guess what I am going to say!), especially the eye-boggling fight between Bruce Lee and Shih Kien (Han) including the terrific fly kick performed by Lee himself and the ‘mirror-scene.’
And finally the fifth film was Game of Death. Although Bruce Lee only appeared in the end in the pagoda where the climactic scenes took place, what made this film so unique was the one-on-one nunchaku battle with Filipino Escrima master, Dan Inosanto. The extraordinary fight scene between Bruce Lee and Grandmaster Ji Han Jae was just another fantastic show of how talented people can be. Then there was the final battle between Bruce and basketball legend Kareem-Abdul Jabbar. Unnoticeably, due to the magnificent fast movements during the fight, Kareem uses an unknown art of Jeet Kune Do. The very same art Bruce Lee developed.*
Over the months that passed, I began to take a closer look into Bruce’s philosophy and his fighting arts. “Jeet Kune Do was the first aspect to be explored,” I thought to myself.
I searched on the internet in need of a Jeet Kune Do club, only to find that they were in London and Manchester!
I thought to myself: “I don’t need a Martial Arts club in order to capture the true essence of Jeet Kune Do and its techniques, I can buy the books!”
But in the end it was The Tao of Jeet Kune Do book that I needed in order to capture its essence and fighting techniques.
Reading biographies of Bruce Lee was the next step. I read Bruce Lee: Fighting Spirit by Bruce Thomas, internet biographies as well as interviews of Bruce Lee himself, Linda Lee and many other people, who were Bruce’s friends.
What was described of Bruce Lee inspired me into philosophy and other fighting arts. Including The Dhammapada, The Bhagavad Gita, Taoism and Zen.
The Dhammapada and The Bhagavad Gita books were in my Mum’s bookcase all along!
My Mum achieved the Master Level of the ancient healing art of Reiki, founded by Dr. Mikao Usui. She also studies EmoTrance, EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique), Chakras and more, which will be explained in much more detail later on in this book.
My Mum has changed many people’s lives using EFT and Reiki. She has wise words of her own which guides me towards right and wrog.
For my 13th Birthday, because I was still interested in Tao Te Ching (Taoism), Chinese calligraphy as well as philosophy and Zen, my family each paid towards my presents.
I received: a Chinese calligraphy set, a wall scroll (mentioning: Accept a Challenge), a pendant for which I put the Mool Mantra in, money and a book called Tales of the Tao.
I was so absorbed in Chinese philosophy and Teachings from the Buddha that I began to stay up at night reading and writing all about the Tao.
This shows my deep interest into philosophy and fighting arts and what caused me to write this book.
Even to this current day, I still am deeply interested in Bruce Lee, philosophy, Taoism, Zen and teachings of the great masters.
