Bruce Lee Frases y Citas
“No tener ningún camino como camino, no tener ninguna limitación como limitación.”
Este puede ser uno de los resúmenes más concretos de la filosofía que Bruce aplicó a su entrenamiento y su método de combate, el Jeet Kune Do.
Frase en su contexto: "No te establezcas en una forma, adáptala y construye la tuya propia, y déjala crecer, sé como el agua. Vacía tu mente, sé amorfo, moldeable, como el agua. Si pones agua en una taza se convierte en la taza. Si pones agua en una botella se convierte en la botella. Si la pones en una tetera se convierte en la tetera. El agua puede fluir o puede chocar. Sé agua, amigo mío".
Frases pronunciadas por Bruce Lee en su última entrevista televisiva antes de su muerte, el 9 de diciembre de 1971, en el programa de televisión canadiense de Pierre Berton. Esta frase de Bruce Lee, que resume gran parte de su filosofía esencial, hace referencia al principio taoísta del Wu wei o principio de la acción natural no forzada. El Jeet Kune Do es un método de combate muy transgresor, sin posturas fijas, muy práctico y con una cantidad casi ilimitada de recursos para las situaciones de combate, con lo que se consigue adaptarse a cualquier circunstancia. La adaptación, la anticipación, el uso correcto de las fuerzas tanto propias como del contrario, son referencias que se hacen desde la famosa frase. "Be water, my friend" ha llegado a ser una de las citas más famosas. En España se popularizó a través de un anuncio del fabricante de automóviles BMW, a finales del 2006.
