Bruce Lee's 3 Secrets to Being a Good Fighter

Bruce Lee’s 3 Secrets to Being a Good Fighter

1.The Heart
In a confrontation, one must desire to win; when under pressure, one must maintain calm.

Famous quotation from Bruce Lee:
"No matter what you want to do, don't be nervous
(you should not let your muscles nor your mind be effected by nerves).
Just keep calm.
No illusion and no imagination,
but to apprehend the actual situation you are in and find a way to deal with it.
No excessive action is needed. Just keep your body and mind relaxed
to deal with the outside emergency."

2. The Eyes
The eyes should be able to pick up as much information as possible prior to and during engaging the physical struggle.
Watching the elbows and the knees is essential to get the best result.
Also at no time, should the practitioner blink or turn his head because he would give away the most
important instrument which supplies him the visual information of the current situation.
3. Balance
This means the practitioner should be balanced at all times so that his mobility and stability are maximised.
This also means that the practitioner must develop conditioning so that his legs do not give up under
strenuous pressure.
