Just thought I would change my signature to something more simplistic in accord with the founder of JeetKuneDo and leave my original signature here in the arichival blogosphere.

Because of styles, people are separated.  They are not united together because styles became law.  But the original founder of the style started out with hypothesis - but now it has become the gospel truth.  Like boxing or fencing  or any sport or game, JKDL is a step by step project in which each maneuver must be repeated many times.  Empty your mind, be formless, shapeless, like water.  Now you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup.  Put it into a teapot, it becomes the teapot.  Now water can flow, or surge or drip or crash.  Watch the numbers flow like water.   Be water my friend.
