Lessons from 'Tao of Jeet Kun Do' by Bruce Lee. Bruce Lee, Lee Jun-Fan, was a Hong Kong-American martial artist, actor, filmmaker, and philosopher. Founder of Jeet Kune Do or 'Way of the Intercepting Fist'. He is regarded as one of the most influential martial artists. JKD is not a style but rather an eclectic expression of martial arts. Lee was adamant that JKD shouldn't be interpreted as style because he created JKD as a break away from traditional classical martial arts.

Unlocking Bruce Lee's Mindset: A Journey with Chris Kent Have you ever wondered what it takes to think like Bruce Lee? Chris Kent, a renowned martial artist and Jeet Kune Do (JKD) expert in conversation with Andrew Staton, takes us on an enlightening journey into the philosophies and mental strategies that shaped Bruce Lee's life. This episode is a treasure trove of insights for anyone interested in personal growth and self-improvement. Chris Kent has spent decades studying and teaching JKD, and his latest book, "How to Think Like Bruce Lee," is a culmination of his life's work. But don't be fooled by the title—it's not about mimicking Bruce Lee's thoughts. Instead, it's about applying his philosophical principles to your own life. As Chris puts it, "It's not about thinking the same thoughts as Bruce Lee, because that's an impossibility. It's got nothing to do with that. It's about you and yourself." One of the most compelling aspects of this episode is how Chris breaks down the core tenets of Bruce Lee's philosophical perspective. He delves into the mental strategies and foundational principles that Bruce used in all aspects of his life, from martial arts to personal development. Chris emphasizes that JKD is not just about fighting; it's a holistic approach to life. "Jeet Kune Do is an art. It's a philosophy. It's a state of being," he says. Chris has also expanded his teachings into a YouTube channel, aptly named "Think Like Bruce Lee." The channel serves as a platform for casual yet profound conversations about JKD principles and their applications in everyday life. From purposeful movement to mental training, Chris covers a wide range of topics aimed at personal growth. "I'm making them for people who are seriously interested in their own personal growth," he notes. The episode also touches on Chris's consultancy work, where he applies JKD principles to help individuals and businesses achieve peak performance. Whether it's technical issues, curriculum design, or creating a JKD culture, Chris's consultancy aims to transmit the DNA of JKD to those who seek it. One of the highlights of the episode is Chris's recounting of his TEDx talk, where he discussed a whole new approach to learning and living, inspired by JKD principles. The talk was a testament to how Bruce Lee's philosophy can be a catalyst for personal transformation. As you listen to this episode, you'll find yourself inspired to apply these timeless principles to your own life. Whether you're a martial artist or someone seeking personal growth, the wisdom shared by Chris Kent offers valuable insights that can help you become a more effective, productive, and creative individual. So, if you're ready to unlock the secrets of Bruce Lee's mindset and embark on a journey of self-improvement, this episode is a must-listen. Tune in and discover how to think like Bruce Lee!

"Aquellos que abren puertas a la mente serán recordados por aquellos que fueron capaces de atravesarlas". (Javier Portal). Bienvenidos a una nueva edición de Dragonz Magazine (el podcast), en esta edición hablaremos de los contenidos de la nueva revista, con Emil Martirossian en portada, íntimo de lo que queda de la familia Lee, que ha desarrollado su propia visión del JKD a la que se conoce como Urban Combat JKD, que participó cono especialista en Barman de Christopher Nolan, y al cual, tendremos en España en el TACFEST en Mayo impartiendo seminarios. ¡Por cierto! si deseas descargártela en PDF, únete a nuestro grupo de Whatsapp en el siguiente enlace: https://chat.whatsapp.com/EYBnBzYWg862AHzJxzPHCu Y que no se nos olvide felicitar a Eric Roberts, que nació tal día como hoy, pero en 1969.

“Jeet Kune Do to me is not about the perpetuation of an art, it is about the personal cultivation of an individual.  To me Jeet Kune Do is a state of being.  It's a dynamic way of thinking and acting that encompasses the same fluid operating principles you use in dealing with opponents that you would use every day in the arena of life. I would like to see Jeet Kune Do resume its place in the Pantheon of Martial Arts.  The position that I feel it deserves to be in and it should be in.  It was designed to be a revolutionary cutting-edge martial art and philosophy that has a culture of innovation and experimentation.” – Chris KentMy guest this episode is Chris Kent, who has been deeply immersed in Bruce Lee's martial art and philosophy for five decades and is widely acknowledged as one of the world's foremost authorities on Jeet Kune Do.  He has gained international recognition for his knowledge, leadership, and contributions in perpetuating the art, training methods, and philosophy as developed by Bruce Lee.  He is regarded as one of the few individuals in the world that has total comprehension of all facets of Lee's martial art and philosophy, including what is referred to as the “styless-style.” His extensive research into the foundations of the art from a technical, philosophical, and spiritual perspective, as well as educating himself in the fields of exercise physiology, kinesiology, and human performance gives him a unique perspective to preserve and perpetuate The Art and Philosophy of Jeet Kune Do.This episode is all about the original spirit of Bruce Lee's Jeet Kune Do.  My key takeaway is that the physical and philosophical aspects of martial arts like Yin and Yang cannot be separated from each other.  Together they can they be utilized to obliterate our self-limiting belief systems, and give us access to connection, creation and adaptability.  We dive deep into the early cutting-edge culture and energy of JKD, which was one of exploration, innovation, and experimentation.  We also discuss dynamic teaching and training methods that were designed to free practitioners from fixed routines and lead them towards fluid operating principles that can be utilized when dealing with opponents and in the everyday arena of life.  This episode was near and dear to my heart, and Sifu Chris Kent shared the soul of Jeet Kune Do.  Tune in for another amazing episode.

The messages they have to share are inspirational, practical, and myth-shattering.   They still have relationships, too. Access to the visual world is one thing, but relating to the emotional world is another. Visual impairment brings a different perspective to life. We see in another way, through hearing, primarily, and through touch.   Find reasons to be hopeful. Hope brings us the future.   How we face challenges is common to everyone.   Eco-location means image with sound. Blindness causes people to see their environment differently, as do people going through divorce. Neuroscientists say that we can adapt to challenges.   See with sound.   Grief and drama go along with being blind. Cry. The transition to blindness is an Emotional Roller Coaster, as is divorce. Brandon lost friends while losing his eyesight. Felt sorry for himself, grieved more, and then met Brian as a mentor for eco-location and went through a transition to living life differently.   Light and sound work from the same principles. There are characteristics of sound; sound is different depending on the shape and size of the object. There is an Acoustic vocabulary that takes over. Neuroplasticity is engaged. People's brains can change according to what we have to work with.   Preparing for mountain biking, Brian started by walking, then running, then using his body to address and react to the sound of his environment as he moved through it.   Shattered all preconceptions about what he could do in life once he mastered biking.   All three of our guests started doing things they never thought were possible.   Physical versus emotional blindness.   Jaimee Kadish, “You can't experience courage if you don't deal with fear.”  Grief for Jamie is a constant, so she uses it to overcome fear. Jamie works with fear and used it as an opportunity to grow.   Brandon deals with fear by quoting Mike Tyson's coach, “Fear can cut you or it can move you forward in life.” Fear is necessary to grow.     If Jamie is resistant to things that feel uncomfortable, it creates a space between Jamie and all other emotions. If you push away the things that don't feel good, you can't really appreciate the things that do feel good, or the things that do feel good don't come to you as much. Jamie goes back and forth with sight; she is not 100% blind 100% of the time. But she chooses to close her eyes and to purposefully do some things, like dancing, unsighted.   Feeling to know as opposed to seeing to know. Know who we are and how we fit in life.   “People use the mirror to confirm insecurities,” Brian. “I broke free from the mirror!”   “Vision is being constructed in the mind,” Brian stated. “The brain can stop constructing visual information. Vision is then the picture we construct in our minds.”   Brian focuses on people's essences. He can sense people. A visually impaired person judges people by their gate, how they walk, their shoes.   “The breath and voice are the windows to the soul,” Brian continued. The breath and the voice is coming from the inside out.   People don't have control over their vision. They are distracted by the bright shiney objects. Brian trains sales people with their eyes closed.   How do you decide who you want to be around? Brian invests in people who want to be of service to others. I get to know people to see if those people want to invest in others.   Listen to your gut. I want to hear people talk. I only ask a few questions so that I give people a platform to let them talk without interruption. What do people project, not visually but philosophically; how do they think? How do people see the world and want to function in the world?   Communication in mediation is key. Communication is a personal and spiritual mirror of ourselves. I can see my own reflection coming off of another person. We listen to the physical world for eco-location; we can become a better listener in relationships.   What if we all closed our eyes when speaking to each other, can we have deeper relationships with each other? Having a different physical issue is a tool to determine who is right for us and who isn't. Adaptability and imagination are necessary to be resilient.   Creativity is a result of spiritual imagination. The roadmap is yours to determine. Am I willing to stand in uncomfortable places, uncomfortable moments, which leads to character attributes. Can't compare the future to the past or we can't be hopeful for the future. This is the process of growth.   We all have insecurities: Find friends, find partners to date, what I have to bring to life is the development of my passions and interests. I went from being the care receiver to the care giver. Finding creative ways to serve the people around him is one of Brian's missions.   Jamie:  Courage and faith, “Are we going to be a victim or a student of this situation? If a student, we can develop a deeper understanding of what we're capable of.”   Brandon: “The best creative product is found through suffering. Creativity has different forms, one being resourcefulness. Lean into the thing you're afraid of and deal with it. You've blinded yourself by the thing that you're afraid of: FIND YOUR BLIND SPOTS AND THRIVE!   Find your blind spots.   #fear #blindness #courage #eco-location #trust #relationships #perseverance #personalchallenge #imagination #adaptability #communication #acousticathletics #creativity #mountainbiking #neuroplasticity   Acoustic Athletics Team Bios   Brian Bushway: Acoustic Athletics Co-Founder   As a pioneer of human echolocation, Brian Bushway mastered the ability to “see with sound” in his late teens, was recognized as the World's Best Totally Blind Mountain Biker in his early twenties, and spent the next fifteen years providing perceptual training for athletes, teams, individuals, and organizations around the globe.

Diagnosed with Optic Nerve Atrophy at age ten, Brandon lost most of his vision by the age of twelve. Passionate about martial arts and combat sports, he competed in fencing during high school winning third place against sighted opponents. Brandon studied in various martial art disciplines such as MMA, JKD, FMA, Jujitsu, etc. Today, he is an avid Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu practitioner who regularly innovates and experiments with his echolocation and perceptual skills to be more functional for martial arts. He enjoys being in the mountains, especially during the winter when the air is cool and when snow is regularly in the forecast. On his spare time, Brandon enjoys music and shooting guns with his uncles.   Jaimee Kadish- Acoustic Athletics Movement Specialist   Born and raised in Los Angeles, Jaimee is a Movement Specialist with a lifelong passion to teach.  Starting her career in pursuit of professional dance, Jaimee studied classical forms of ballet and modern dance while attending numerous arts programs and received her Bachelor of Fine Arts in Dance from California State University, Long Beach. After being diagnosed with Retinitis Pigmentosa, Jaimee switched her focus from performance to physical literacy, allowing her to dive deep into the relationship between anatomy, movement and understanding how the body works, how it works in motion, and the role of foundational movement in physical fitness.  Jaimee pursued her Associate of Arts in Early Childhood Education then entered the preschool classroom where she continued to develop her practice of using movement to help children learn and grow. In her role as a Certified Pilates Instructor (BASI) and Personal Trainer, she works with private clients in Los Angeles.  In her role as Movement Specialist with Acoustic Athletics, Jaimee accurately analyzes clients' movement patterns, identifies overactive/underactive muscle groups and compensations, and creates tailored training programs to enhance creative and functional movement.   www.acousticathletics.com   My Blind Coach- Relationship/Communication Coaching Instagram: myblindcoach Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/MyBlindCoach Website:  www.myblindcoach.com Acoustic Athletics Instagram: AcousticAthletics Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/AcousticAthletics Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-h5Y_i65SZx1EWwzHXE-8Q Website: www.acousticathletics.com   Brian Bushway Instagram: BrianBushway Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/brian.bushway.3/ Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCnSsNx-Ql3WNNcSULXdTbug Website: www.brianbushway.com

“Respect Needs to Go Around for Every Martial Art.  We can learn Something from everyone.”    -Michael Jai White  My guest this episode is Michael Jai White, a highly trained martial artist & actor.  Michael has broken barriers as a Hollywood star and is an International Box office sensation. He is a national martial arts champion, a special education teacher, and a Black Belt under the legendary Bill “Superfoot” Wallace.  He was awarded Black Belt Magazines, 2015 Man of the Year.This episode is filled with golden nuggets.  My key take away is all about the philosophy of looking to get better every time you train. Michael's “growth minded” approach allows him to keep an empty cup as he seeks out the best martial artists on the planet to test himself against and to be exposed to their methods.  Because Martial Arts is not about fighting, it's not about dominating your opponent, but about overcoming yourself.This Episode is brought to you by Black Belt.  Black Belt is the world's leading self-defense magazine and is dedicated to both the classical and the modern eclectic martial arts....

New episode alert!!!! ‘Dragon: the Bruce Lee Story'- Biopic, Historical Fiction or Bruceploitation? This week, Gavin and I discuss the 1993 Rob Cohen directed film starring Jason Scott Lee (no relation) and Lauren Holly, which tries to tackle the monumental task of telling Bruce Lee's story. Many had tried before it, many have tried since… and almost all have failed. Although ‘Dragon' is about as accurate of a retelling of someone's life as ‘Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter', and saying it plays fast and loose with the facts would be an understatement, this movie most definitely has a hell of a lot going for it: fantastic performances, beautiful cinematography, costumes and set design, as well as maybe one of the most underrated film scores of all time. There is also plenty of top notch action on display, although the actual martial arts utilized on screen is definitely a hot button topic amongst Bruce Lee fans and JKD practitioners. We do our best to handle all of these different subject matters and give our honest take on a film I believe everyone should check out! Don't forget to subscribe, download, follow us on social media and share with your friends! Thanks again for the support and we hope you enjoy!
