Blackwing Volume 651: A TRIBUTE TO THE LEGENDARY BRUCE LEE

Despite his image as an international movie star and acclaimed martial artist, Bruce Lee was a philosopher at heart. His paperbacks contained everything from dance routines, to uplifting self-affirmations and profound life wisdom. Although his body of work is replete with classic movies, his greatest achievement may have been his art known as Jeet Kune Do.

In a note to his students, Bruce Lee wrote:

"The art of Jeet Kune Do is simply to simplify."

He believed in honesty in all actions and stood for a freedom of expression that had never been seen in the world of martial arts. Jeet Kune Do was designed for combat, but its principles can be applied to the challenges of everyday life;

"to use no path as a path; to have no limitation as a limitation."
