If you ask " What is the date of your birthday? " you give me a response. appointments, a question answer with a response.
If instead you were to ask: "How do you defend himself in front of a right hook?" I could respond with an "I do not know ..." or "depend on the time" I answered by quoting or technical action. Yes, but which one?
That 's Aikido of Boxing, Kickboxing of of Fight of Judo or what else?.
In this case - then - to a question he answers with many answers.
there is an alternative - but - And that is that you (during your journey martial or sport-fighter) have reached enlightenment!
Enlightenment, or the attainment of truth . And Enlightenment is the goal of Zen .
But beware, the Zen to which I refer is not a religion . Not the Indian Buddhism - from which it was derived from - but it's a f HILOSOPHY , experience.
Zen is the translation or pronunciation of Chan, Chinese word. And the Zen to which I refer is not even the Zen Buddhism !
The is related to Zen meditation, traditional meditation sitting cross-legged. Well Enlightenment even more authentic Zen Buddhism can be achieved not only during or through meditation .
Yet the Zen of which I speak there is no obligation of meditation!.
This can be done as a method to calm and control our breath as well as practice Chuck Norris, but probably is not even important.
For me Zen - in our sport - is open your eyes! Back when we were the first state to practice martial arts or combat sport or self defense systems (and the latter as there are ! ).
For me, the so-called thug - socially and morally to blame - is Zen!. He does not arise many questions, just beats. But beating.
Just to stay where we are - or on the Internet - if you go on You Tube using keywords Kung Fu, Aikido , Steven Segal, Thai Boxing, Gracie, and the like can see the videos that show various techniques of defense and probably on the same attack. many answers then.
But in all this chaos of "supply martial we risk losing our natural .
The Jeet Kune Do Bruce Lee of is Zen? The Zen of which I speak? I think so.
In the picture you see him in his school with some well-known students. And you can see on the wall drawings that symbolize the various stages that the practitioner of Jeet Kune Do through during his training. The last of these drawings, symbols is black (or blank ..). It is probably the initial state from which we started.
paraphrase a quote Zen , Bruce said of himself that "Before practicing martial arts, a punch was just a punch and a kick just a kick. During training, a handful became more of a punch and a kick more than a football. Following a handful returned to being just a punch and a kick just a kick. "
And JKD today - the one taught and offered by different teachers, even very good - is Zen? This not I know.
Finally, I lit ? Please, no joking . But I think I understand the meaning of Zen in Jeet Kune Do.
