Street Fight
There is
a concept that the martial art moves cannot be applied in street fights or in
similar types of situation. But it was Bruce lee that made this concept wrong
by his amazing skills in martial arts. According to him if someone knows the
basic self
defense moves of martial arts then he can easily implement his skills in
any kind of situation protecting him from danger. Bruce lee felt that if
martial arts can be used in serious situations then you could have a great
advantage over your opponent or enemy. Bruce lee was not only a martial art
specialist but he had a great knowledge in philosophy as well. He wrote a great
book on martial art named “Martial arts and fighting philosophy” which is a
great sample of philosophy as well. One of the greatest saying of Bruce lee
includes a precious suggestion of developing a life in a proper manner. He
suggested that we should lead our life like water flows. As water always flows
through the cracks or around the cracks, we should also make our life’s path
around all the circumstances or through it. This legendary person also said
that we should empty our mind to be formless like water, rather than being
rigid. Because rigidity may turns our life in the wrong path.
Self defense of women
Bruce lee
had a thought regarding the martial art
for women as well which made him different from the other martial art
experts. He provided a lot of tips and tricks regarding the self defense of
women. He was one of the first initiator who taught judo, karate and other
necessary martial arts to the women so that they also could be able to help
themselves in danger.
