“Empty your mind!

Be formless, shapeless, like water.

If you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup.

Put it into a bottle, it becomes the bottle,

You put it into a teapot, it becomes the teapot.

Now water can flow, or it can crash.

Be water, my friend!”


A new being is entering this shard for the first time: Bruce Lee (15.01.08 - 9:25 am)

"Freewar - shaped by the view that individuals of one race are more worth less than others."

Example:
"You can only prepare this sphere to places on the surface of this world. Only as a human wizard can you set green magic spheres anywhere." - heck, that was a tormenting experience

His Story


Hong Kong - the 7 million city. A man whose name became known all over the world grew up in this city. His name was Bruce Lee. According to experts from all over the world, he was the greatest kung fu fighter there ever was. The original form of Kung Fu with its originally 18 physical and mental exercises was introduced in 525 BC. Taught by an Indian monk. Over the centuries these exercises were expanded to 72 and by 1960 the Shaolin monks' Kung Fu style was at the forefront. Then came a man who rejected the traditional styles of kung fu. His name is Bruce Lee. Away from the big shopping streets & the posh world, Bruce Lee grew up in a dark & ??dirty neighborhood north of Kowloons. This is the home of criminals, pickpockets, burglars, murderers, drug addicts & youthful thug gangs terrorize the area. Not infrequently there are dead and seriously injured, but the police are as good as powerless because the victims are not ready to testify if they are still alive.

Fear dominates the scene, Bruce Lee didn't know the term fear at all & he faced all challenges, no matter from which side they came.

Bruce and his 3 siblings were introduced to Kung Fu by their father in early childhood. Mr. P. Lee was an actor and a keen advocate of the teaching of kung fu. Financial worries, as in many Hong Kong families where children were brought in to help, did not exist in the Lee family. Bruce was able to devote himself to his absolute favorite activity, Kung Fu. At the age of 8, he & his sister Phöbe already subjected themselves to the hard, physical and mental exercises that this martial art demands. And as all friends of Kung Fu know, Bruce Lee achieved a level of mastery that has not yet been achieved.

He describes his fighting style in his own words:
"I don't have a single style, I am the style of styles. Nobody knows how I'll react, my reactions in combat are a surprise to me. My movements develop from the movements of the opponent."

So a summary of all fighting styles, which was often imitated but never achieved.

Bruce Lee:
"If you insist on classifying my fighting style in any way, the closest thing to it is the term" Jeet kune Do "- the engaging fists.

First recognize the strength of an opponent, then get involved in a fight with him. Look him in the eye, because this reflects the strength or weakness of his soul. "

At the age of 14, Bruce Lee and his friend Ping Chau, who would later become one of the most capable men in the police force, take part in the street fights of the mutually rival youth gangs. Most of these fights were about claiming ownership of a certain area that one gang wanted to steal from the other. The winners in these battles then controlled the area & the defeated were forbidden to enter this area under penalty of death.
