FROM ENTER THE DRAGON...

 

Shaolin Abbott: I see your talents have gone beyond the mere physical level. Your skills are now at the point of spiritual insight. I have several questions. What is the highest technique you hope to achieve ?

 

Lee: To have no technique.

 

Shaolin Abbott: Very good. What are your thoughts when facing an opponent ?

 

Lee: There is no opponent.

 

Shaolin Abbott: And why is that ?

 

Lee: Because the word "I" does not exist.

 

Shaolin Abbott: So, continue...

 

Lee: A good fight should be like a small play, but played seriously. A good martial artist does not become tense, but ready. Not thinking, yet not dreaming. Ready for whatever may come. When the opponent expands, I contract. When he contracts, I expand. And when there is an opportunity, I do not hit. It hits all by itself.

 

Shaolin Abbott: Now, you must remember: the enemy has only images and illusions behind which he hides his true motives. Destroy the image and you will break the enemy…
