Last Monday was a trial class.
This morning I read about the art on Wikipedia.
Today's class, my second, taught more new concepts than I can absorb in one hour. Yet -
I started Jeet Kune Do after today's class ended, sitting in quiet a passageway in the shopping center.
Do I have time for something new in my life? No. Am I going to welcome it anyway? Yes. I asked the universe for more, and this opportunity arrived. It was by association that I chose to attend this class, not deliberate selection. Only this morning (reading on Wikipedia) did I learn anything about its philosophy.
I hope to free my followers from clinging to styles, patterns, or molds.
Be like water
truth exists outside all molds; pattern and awareness is never exclusive. Again let me remind you Jeet Kune Do is just a name used, a boat to get one across, and once across it is to be discarded and not to be carried on one's back.This resonates with me. JKD aims to remove unnecessary movements, rather than add its own forms. It stresses reacting to the problem in front of you, not following formulas. This is how I strive to code, and live, and it is how I will learn to move.
