“Don’t think. You already know what you have to do, and you know how to do it. What’s stopping you?”
– Tim S. Grover, Relentless

“I recall Bruce telling me that after learning different styles or techniques, all the techniques that you learned would remain in the back of your head, so when you face the opponent, do not think, or anticipate what the opponent is going to do. You cannot think since you do not know what your opponent is going to do. You must empty your mind and adapt to the situation. With this, one must decrease what one has learned (hacking away the nonessentials), keeping only what is useful and mastering it… So, the key is you do not move first… but if the opponent does attack, you automatically counter it without thinking about which counter to use. It hits all by itself.”
Peter Chin, The Last Disciple: My Memoirs With Bruce Lee

Just need to call ‘Action!’ and then you begin.
Thinking too much can result in inertia
There is intelligence in movement
I am moving on from this post…
