1 TAKES ON 3 Like BOSS… TEACHES US Lessons in SELF DEFENCE

[juliedeardorff]

“I am constantly discovering, expanding, finding the cause of my ignorance, in martial arts and in life. In short, to be real.” -Bruce Lee

I’ve always been a Bruce Lee fan.

I’m not sure at what point exactly he made such an impression on me; I only know it was a lasting one.

He didn’t believe in limits, barriers, or conformism; he believed in self mastery, authenticity, and testing the abilities of human potential. He had a higher level of thinking that transferred into every area of life. He created his own style of martial arts that had no style — it was adaptable to anything. His legacy is the kind we all aspire to leave; one of significance, purpose; making an impact in the time we’re here.

I have 2 copies of his book, Jeet Kune Do. He was always thinking, always evolving, always learning. I did ‘Bruce Lee Monday’s’ for awhile as a tribute, but people kept asking if I was taking karate instead of focusing on the wisdom.

I looked up some of his habits and how he spent a typical day. According to his daughter Shannon, Bruce dedicated time for physical, mental and spiritual development in his daily life — creating a day filled with training, learning, teaching, writing, and connecting with people.

In other words, he created a schedule that fit his life priorities, not squeezing his life to fit around someone else’s.

Take his advice: research your own experience. Design the life and style you want to live, then do the work to make it a reality. Don’t pursue things society says you should want; don’t conform to anyone else’s expectations. Understand your own.

Here are a few of my favorite quotes from him, and from those who knew him. I hope they resonate with you as much as they do with me. -J

1. “I have changed from self-image actualization to self actualization…from blindly following propaganda, organized truths, etc, to searching internally for the cause of my ignorance.”

2. “A man is at his worst when he does not understand himself. He will work to accumulate external securities rather than do the inner work that will bring true security and rootedness. So cultivate and school yourself.”

3. “Research your own experience. Absorb what is useful, reject what is useless, add what is essentially your own.”

4. “To see a thing uncolored by one’s own preferences and desires is to see it in its own pristine simplicity.”

5. “We possess a pair of eyes to help us to observe as well as to discover, yet most of us simply do not see in the true sense of the word. However, when it comes to observing faults in others, most of us are quick to react with condemnation. But what about looking inwardly for a change? To personally examine who we really are and what we are, our merits as well as our faults. In short, to see oneself as one is for once and to take responsibility for oneself.”

6. “The conformer seldom learns to depend upon himself for expression; rather he faithfully follows a pattern. As time passes, he will probably learn some dead routines and be good according to his set pattern, but he has not come to understand himself.”

7. “Man, the living creature, the creating individual is always more important than any established style or system.”

8. “As a person matures, he will realize that his skills are not so much tools to conquer others, but tools used to explode his ego and all its follies.”

9. “Although I can tell you what is not freedom, I cannot tell you what it is because that you must discover for yourself.”

10. “…On the sea, I thought about all my past training and got mad at myself and punched at the water. Right then in that moment, a thought suddenly struck me. Wasn’t this water, the very basic stuff, the essence of kung-fu? I struck it just now, but it did not suffer hurt. Again I stabbed it with all my might, yet it was not wounded. I then tried to grasp a handful of it but it was impossible. This water, the softest substance in the world, could fit into any container. Although it seemed weak, it could penetrate the hardest substance in the world. That was it! I wanted to be like the nature of water."

11. “I treasure the memory of past misfortunes. It has added more to my bank of fortitude.”

12. “The meaning of life is that it is to be lived, and it is not to be traded and conceptualized and squeezed into a pattern of systems.

13. “Each man binds himself — the fetters are ignorance, laziness, preoccupation with self and fear. You must liberate yourself.”

14. “Bring the mid into sharp focus and make it alert so that it can immediately intuit truth, which is everywhere. The mind must be emancipated from old habits, prejudices, restrictive thought processes and even ordinary thought itself.”

15. “When you are talking about fighting, with no rules. Well then, baby you’d better train every part of your body.”

16. “There is no mystery about my style. My movements are direct, and non-classical. The extraordinary part of life lies in its simplicity. Every movement of Jeet Kune do is being so of itself. There is nothing artificial about it. I believe that the easy way is the right way.”

17. "A good teacher can never be fixed in a routine. Each moment requires a sensitive mind that is constantly adapting. A teacher must never impose this student to fit his favorite pattern. A good teacher is never a giver of truth; he is a guide, a pointer to the truth that each student must find for himself. I am not teaching you anything. I just help you explore yourself."

18. Master: “What is the highest technique you hope to achieve?

Bruce: “To have no technique.”

a. “Time would just stop when he was around. He was so inspirational and high-spirited. When I was down, Bruce would always lift my spirits and I would feel better. He could be a serious person one moment and a jokester the next.” -Allen Joe

b. “What many do not know is that Bruce was a practical joker. He giggled a lot, he was somebody you went to high school with. On the other hand, he was very philosophical. He compelled you to be in his presence.” -Jerry Poteet, Bruce Lee’s student and friend.

c. “I met Bruce Lee and he picked up my spirits…he had this inner desire to create equality among people and to try to bring out the best in people.” -Taky Kimora

BACK TO THE THEATER..OR NOT

So movies are trying to claw their way back into theaters, and I for one am all for it. I don’t want to be a prisoner of this virus until vaccines are created and distributed. Wonder Woman 1984 has set a new date to be released this Christmas, 2020, and I get the feeling that some other big blockbusters will be jointing her.

So many summer blockbusters were shelved, we are definitely going to be having our pick of the liter when things open up again. I think the theater business will be booming for quite a while. 

For the movies that have been released, like Mulan and Tenet – the news is good and bad. Mulan was released in America through Disney+, but it was released in China to the theaters. China is the second biggest draw for movies after the USA, so Disney was hopeful to make money on both ends, and see which one came out on top. So far, for Mulan, it looks like a tie. 

Streamer usually pay off about 25 – 30 million for a movie for a restricted viewing experience. Mulan made less then that in it’s opening weekend in China. China box office came out to be around 20 million in it’s first three days in theaters. Now will it make more, sure – but the number will surely drop and it’s not going to get dramatically higher in any sense. The final prediction for Mulan in China is about 40 million over all. Not great, but then again, this is not America. Should Disney have waited? Well their slate is kind of full of movies already waiting, so maybe this is the one they decided to test the waters with, who knows. It was a gamble and it was not a complete disaster, but it wasn’t exactly a success either. 

Tenet is another movie that is being tested. Christopher Nolan is all high and mighty with his films and he always dresses and suits and he never lets people sit down and blah blah. Well Warner Bros and Sony are keeping the film’s numbers a secret. 

Apparently they are not releasing numbers by the day, but rather by the week, so no one knows if Tenet is slumping, staying the course or increasing. I’m sure they wish to keep the shroud of excellence wrapped around Nolan for as long as possible – but industry insiders say Tenet maybe falling and falling hard. 

NFL DIPS AND DABS

The NFL saw a dip in their ratings this week – down about 13 percent from last year’s opening kickoff game. Researchers say there is nothing to worry about – since NBA, NHL, and US Open are all happening at the same time, and MLB is about to go into their playoffs – fans have a lot more sports than they can handle right now. 

BRUISED TERRIFFIED HALLE BERRY

The gorgeous and talented Halle Berry has made her directorial debut with a movie called Bruised that is making it’s world premiere in the Toronto Film Festival. “I was scared shitless. And if you’re not having any sense of worry, I don’t think you care, I don’t think you want to do your very best” Halle said to reporters. 

In Bruised, Berry plays a disgraced MMA fighter, Jackie “Justice,” who has to conquer her own demons and face one of the fiercest rising stars of the MMA world to become the mother that she thinks her son Manny deserves. That role isn’t the first dark horse character that Berry has played during her Hollywood career, which includes her Oscar-winning role of Leticia Musgrove, a dirt-poor widow, in Monster’s Ball.

“You know I’m always most drawn to characters who are fractured, broken, who are fighting to survive. Every time I get to play those roles, I get to have a cathartic experience and I get to have some healing for myself,” Berry explained.Despite the cachet an Academy Award trophy brought to her Hollywood career, Berry says there’s sadness in not seeing other Black women follow her and win the industry’s biggest best actress prize. “Every time when Oscar time comes round, I get reflective and I think maybe this year, maybe this year, and it’s heartbreaking that other women haven’t stood there,” she revealed.

BILL MAHR BACK IN STUDIO

Bill Mahr is moving from his backyard and headed back into his studio for the first time in months. “There’s real people. Thank you jesus. Thank You People!!” he exclaimed. The show is filmed in CBS Television City’s Studio 33. HBO is bring back only 25 people for now, to be in the audience, but Bill says that will be loud enough. “This is interesting, you can hear people laugh individually.” The host said.

QUENTIN TARANTINO VS BRUCE LEE

Jason Scott Lee has become the foremost expert on the immortal Bruce Lee and has spoken out, as so many have, on how Quentin Tarantino decided to portray the martial arts legend. 

Jason is known for being the boy in Jungle Book, for playing Bruce Lee in Dragon and currently the villain in the new rendition of Mulan. When confronted about what he thought about Tarantino’s Bruce Lee fighting Brad Pitt in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood – he certainly had a strong opinion about it. 

One of Lee’s most memorable roles is that of the aforementioned Bruce Lee in 1993’s Dragon, which is based on the book by Bruce’s widow, Linda Lee Cadwell. Since he did rigorous martial arts training with Bruce’s former student Jerry Poteet, Lee developed even more respect for the revered martial artist he was playing. So, needless to say, Lee, like Bruce’s daughter, Shannon, wasn’t too pleased with Quentin Tarantino’s portrayal of Bruce in 2019’s Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.

“While I was training [to play Bruce Lee], I started learning his system of fighting and actually feeling the motions that he taught his students. I realized so much about the precision and the discipline of a person like that, and that’s why it was very hard for me to watch that scene with Mike Moh portraying Bruce,” Lee admits. “Granted, Mike’s a great actor, but I think being put in that position to portray Bruce Lee that way was really hard to take. I kind of winced. Yeah, he was boastful, but he was one of those guys that could back it up. He wasn’t challenging that way, you know? So [Tarantino] took a lot of creative leeway in presenting Bruce Lee in that manner, and he got a lot of flack for it. And it’s not justified the way he did it.”

Lee also mentions that Poteet, who became his longtime sifu after Dragon, would have objected to Tarantino’s depiction since he had a close master-apprentice relationship with Bruce.

“My sifu, Jerry Poteet, who was a student of Bruce, has since passed away, but I know he would be rolling over in his grave,” Lee explains. “He had direct association through a long term teacher-student relationship with Bruce… So, through the years of knowing Jerry and hearing all the stories and details, I’m sure it would’ve pissed him off.”

This scene will not just go away. Like I have said before, Once Upon A Time in Hollywood is a love story between Tarantino and Brad Pitt. Tarantino wrote the most amazing, awe inspiring, coolest character for Brad and even made him beat up Bruce Lee. Cmon. We all know a washed up stunt man could never ever even touch Bruce Lee in his prime while he was filming Green Hornet. I think everyone is realizing this now and really taking offense to it. If Tarantino made the martial arts character anyone else in the world, but Bruce Lee – it would have been fine. Bruce Lee took his fighting extremely serious and like Jason said, he boasted, but he always backed it up – the guy was a certified martial arts champion and revolutionary. Anyway – don’t get me started. I’m glad the professionals agree with me as well on this. Tarantino went a bit overboard in his cinematic love letter to Brad Pitt.

THE END OF THE KARDASHIANS

Yes after 20 blissful years on the E Network, “Keeping Up With The Kardashians” is airing it’s final season in early 2021. The choice was made by the family and announced recently. “It is with heavy hearts that we say goodbye to ‘Keeping Up with the Kardashians,’” the famous family said in a joint statement, signed by Kris Jenner, Kourtney Kardashian, Khloé Kardashian, Kim, Rob Kardashian, Kendall Jenner, Kylie Jenner and Scott Disick.

“After what will be 14 years, 20 seasons, hundreds of episodes and several spin-off shows, we’ve decided as a family to end this very special journey. We are beyond grateful to all of you who’ve watched us for all of these years — through the good times, the bad times, the happiness, the tears, and the many relationships and children. We’ll forever cherish the wonderful memories and countless people we’ve met along the way.”

20 years is a lot. I mean, a lot. Hopefully this will end Kanye West’s craziness and Kim’s craziness and all the other crap that happens with this family. I mean let’s face it, they weren’t a bunch of intellectuals. They have so many sources of income the show’s salary probably became their lunch money by now. This kind of reality show was a guilty pleasure and really wasn’t doing society any bit of good. Kanye got a God complex, and Kim thought she could be a lawyer of all things.

I am glad this is ending, America has been in a weird kind of fantasy state and had rejected reality for too long. Problem is, someone like Paris Hilton will probably step in and take their place. 

Catch me here every Thursday. Have a great week!  @paulieb2003

JKD – An Introduction to Jeet Kune Do – Film vs. Reality

The art made famous by the late, great Sijo (system founder) Bruce Lee – Jeet Kune Do, is perhaps one of the most misunderstood martial arts concepts in the world.  Millions of fans still idolize Bruce Lee.  He was a prolific, forward-thinking martial artist, performer and philosopher who forever changed the face of popular entertainment and initiated a systemic reboot of the martial arts world that would reverberate deeply through the landscape of modern culture.

I began my study of Sijo Bruce Lee’s art in 1986 at the famed Inosanto Academy in Los Angeles.  My combat instructor at UCLA, Anthony Delongis, recommended that I begin training with one of Guru Dan’s instructors, Francis Echinard.  Francis had (and still has) a penchant for fighting and going hard.  One of the first professors of Boxe Francaise Savate in the US, Francis trained me 3x per week in Venice and recommended that I go to the Academy.  

I trained with fantastic teachers like Guru Dan Inosanto, Chris Kent, Salem Assili, Chad Stahelski, Nicolas Saignac, Ajarn Chai Sirisute and many others.  In 1998 I met one of the other original students of Bruce Lee, Sifu Jerry Poteet.

Sifu Jerry was known as the “keeper of the flame”.  He dedicated his life to preserving what Bruce Lee taught him with no additions or changes.  He wanted students to receive everything the same way it was handed down to him.  Sifu Jerry was part of an elite group who were chosen to join Bruce Lee at his house 2x per week in addition to the 2x per week classes at the Chinatown school in LA.  The 5 students who came to Bruce Lee’s house were Bob Bremmer, Pete Jacobs, Dan Lee, Steve Golden and Jerry Poteet.    I trained privately with Sifu Jerry until his death in 2012 and continue training with his wife Sifu Fran Joseph today.  In fact I was with Sifu Fran and Eric Carr in the hospital when Jerry passed.  I am ranked as a senior instructor in SIfu Jerry’s lineage of Jeet Kune Do.

I’ve also had the good fortune to train with all of Bruce Lee’s original students at least once or twice in seminars before they passed.  Now, there are only two surviving members – Guru Dan and Sifu Taky Kimura.

The reason I’m going into this detail is to somewhat qualify myself for what I’m about to describe – what is Jeet Kune Do?  The information I’m going to convey is partially a summary of what I’ve learned from the original students of Bruce Lee – and as one would expect, my own subjective opinion.  

You can search youtube and find plenty of interviews with these original students.  There is also a wonderful book by one of Guru Dan’s students, Jose M. Fraguas called Jeet Kune Do Conversations.  I suspect it’s out of print now, but it’s a wonderful series of interviews with all of Sijo Lee’s original students who share their experience training with Sijo Lee.  You’ll see me in a few of the pictures with Sifu Jerry beating me up.

So now on to the topic – what is Jeet Kune Do?  

First, I think it’s important to draw a distinction between what Bruce Lee was teaching his students and what you may see in his films.  I’ve been a professor at UCLA for 25 years.  One of my duties is teaching combat for stage and film in the department of theater, film and television.  There is a major difference in telling the story of a fight and teaching practical methods of self-defense.  First, the story of a fight is just that – a story.  You are purposefully showing the audience your intention and movement so the movements can be tracked with the eyes.

When Bruce Lee was first filming the directors had to tell him to slow down!  He was so fast that the frame rates of that time period would not actually pick up his movements.  You would see a blur – the beginning of a movement and the end of a movement and nothing in between.  In a visual medium this is clearly a problem.  The preparation for the movements, the freezes after the movements, the heightened vocal and physical expression are all there to augment the viewers experience.  

As an anecdotal sidebar, I’d like to mention just how much Bruce Lee changed the world of popular entertainment starting with “Enter the Dragon”.  This was the first major project in the genre where a major Hollywood studio – Warner Brothers, partnered with a Chinese production company – Golden Harvest.  While the movements and acting seem somewhat stilted by today’s standards, this began an evolution in the action world that created much of what we see today.

Just look at the pedigree and lineage!  Starting with Guru Dan Inosanto, his students shaped the face of modern action based entertainment.  Jeff Imada was still at the academy when I came in the mid 80’s.  Just look at his IMDB – The Book of Eli, The Borne series – the list goes on for days.  Then Chad Stahelski, Damon Caro and David Leitch.  All students at the Inosanto Academy – Chad doubled Keanu Reeves on all the Matrix films and directs the John Wick series not to mention that he and David run 87eleven – the most successful action production company in the world.  Try Atomic Blonde, Deadpool 2, Fast and the Furious.  For Damon, take a look at Wonder Woman, Dawn of Justice, Superman.  These are direct descendants of the Bruce Lee lineage.  Think about how what Bruce Lee started now is seen on every movie screen and television in the world.  Yes, a little influence.  

But when it comes to films, this is the antithesis of what is taught in self-defense – and particularly Jeet Kune Do, where non-telegraphic movement, interception and surprise are all primary tactics.  It’s better if the opponent doesn’t see it coming – or anyone else for that matter.

So what is Jeet Kune Do?  When Bruce Lee began teaching martial arts in the US, it began in Seattle at the University of Washington.  At that time, his primary influence and course of study was Wing Chun under Yip Man.  This is going to be a very fast summary, otherwise I’ll end up writing a book for this blog.  At that time, Jeet Kune Do had not come to light.  Bruce Lee was constantly evolving and experimenting.  Sijo moved to Oakland and this is where the real changes began to happen.  James Lee (not related) was his primary student and lead instructor in Oakland.  This is where the fabled Wong Jack Man fight took place.  Linda Lee Cadwell recounted the story to me directly.  She said that Bruce was completely disappointed in his own performance.  It took him roughly 3 minutes to best the Shaolin practitioner and he was exhausted afterward.  This is when he began to investigate boxing and other principles that could be used.  He later recounted “if I only had a hook” in reference to the idea of using circular lines because it was expected he was going to rush forward with a straight blast.

As he moved to Los Angeles, everything changed.  He researched combat relentlessly.  He had bookcases filled with books on every imaginable combat sport, philosophy, art.  Sifu Jerry said he would go into a bookstore and just buy the whole martial arts section so he could take books home and go through them in detail.  He was endlessly researching and learning from other martial artists.  He was a huge fan of Cassius Clay who later became Muhammed Ali.  

The Jeet Kune do taught at Bruce Lee’s Chinatown school in Los Angeles had evolved.  The physical curriculum itself was sometimes referred to as Jun Fan Gung Fu – later to be known as Jun Fan Jeet Kune Do.  These were a series of progressive training methodologies designed to teach real fighting skills.  Sijo Lee analyzed movement.  He refined movement.  His objective was to create an approach that was completely free, that allowed each individual to search for their own truth in combat.

In this regard his philosophical influences were ever-present.  Jiddu Krisnamurti, Sun-Tzu, Takuan Soho all influenced his approach to life and to combat.

In the physical world, there are four primary principles at play in Jeet Kune Do:

Simplicity

Economy of motion

Longest weapon to the closest target

Always think of hitting

But Jeet Kune Do is more than a series of physical techniques.  If you read Bruce Lee’s writings, you see that for him, martial arts was a path of liberation.  It was a search for the truth and self-cultivation.  Jeet Kune Do is a search to uncover the source of our own ignorance.  It is a quest to find the truest form of self-expression and a unification of mind, body and spirit.  

If we look to JKD’s historical roots deep within the Shaolin Temple, the ancient warrior monks balanced external physical exertion with internal cultivation to attain oneness.  This is why our center is called “Ekata”.  Ekata is the Sanskrit term for “Oneness”.  

On a very pragmatic level, Jeet Kune Do uses any means to achieve it’s end.  It is about physical survival during a violent encounter.  That means, simple, real, practical.  It isn’t about impressing anyone and looking cool.  It’s about going home to your family.  If that means if you can run a 40 yard dash faster than the attacker to escape – then that’s JKD.  If it means if you shoot as the guy who is breaking in your door and fill him full of holes – then that’s JKD.  It means if you de-escalate a potential confrontation by showing empathy and compassion to a fellow human being in pain – then that’s JKD.

As I said when we started this blog, there is a lot of confusion about what is and what is not JKD.  Hopefully this short description provided some clarity.  I look forward to sharing more in the future.

1920.

Sue White became an attorney, starting a law practice in 1926 with Judge Hu Anderson. She

How is Jeet Kune Do Like Music?

It seems like an odd comparison at first glance – Jeet Kune Do and music? Bruce Lee’s art of self-defense is specifically designed for combat efficiency and street fighting. How is this anything like music.

Here at Ekata Training Center in Valencia, CA I’m often met with quizzical looks when we conclude a tour and show potential parents and students our music room. Why is a room filled with musical instruments in a martial arts school/gym?

My teacher, Sifu Jerry Poteet told me that Bruce Lee said Jeet Kune Do is the ultimate form of expression. Our body is our paintbrush. We spontaneously create and each movement is a form of personal expression – much like dance.

If it were ever necessary for a person to defend themselves and they had no knowledge of self-defense, their movements would be inefficient, clumsy – flailing about and would only be successful based on pure instinct and on accident.

It’s much the same if I purchase a musical instrument and start to bang on it, hoping to produce music. If I have no frame of reference, no training – I may get lucky and start figuring it out along the way – but I have no knowledge of the language of music. I don’t know notes, positioning of the body with the instrument, I don’t know chords and how the notes fit in with the chords. In other words, I’m lost – and it’s only a happy accident if I can make music.

In music, I have to discipline myself to learn proper positioning, to learn notes and chords. I have to spend hours practicing scales and learning theory. That isn’t to say that one can’t be expressive without theory. However, it is very unlikely that one can be spontaneously expressive without a great deal of practice.

The same holds true of physical expression. Sifu Jerry used to say that practicing the basics of JKD is like sharpening your tools. Sifu Fran, Sifu Jerry’s wife says that music is a great deal like JKD. In music, we have a piece of music to play – the notes are the same on that sheet regardless. However, each person’s interpretation of that music will be entirely different. They will bring their own emotion, nuances and subtleties to each note, to each phrase. This is the same with Jeet Kune Do.

Bruce Lee analyzed movement. He was obsessed with efficiency. How can you develop the most power, with the least amount of telegraphic motion? In doing so, he studied dozens of martial arts in order to develop a training protocol that could be individualized, yet could be practiced by students of every gender and body type. It’s just like learning a piece of music. Learn the structure, work within the structure, then break free of the structure.

After developing our personal attributes and putting tools in the tool box, we they are ready to creatively express with those tools. If we now have to defend ourselves – we will now move with efficiency and effectiveness.

This is why we offer all forms of expression at Ekata Training Center – art , dance, theater, music. It’s because we have to free ourselves from the known (to borrow a quote from Jiddu Krishnamurti). This is how we evolve as humans. We can learn from others and take advantage of the work that has been done before us – but ultimately our interpretation of what we learn is what makes us unique and a living, blossoming human being with infinite potential for growth.
