Any truly good martial artist should be able to do the same. You'd surprised at the folks you find practicing and teaching various arts who's movements are as natural to them as walking and talking is to us.
Hso, as usual, we agree.
That's fundamentally what I was saying last night, even if in a more cryptically poetic way (hey, it was Friday night at about a beer past midnight): good students and especially masters can do what they do as second nature, intuitively, without thinking.
In fact, IMO, it's
all about making it intuitive, making it second nature, letting it flow without thought. (Yes, I know I'm preaching to the choir here, but just being clear.) Lee stresses that in his book
Jeet Kune Do (which I'm reading slowly, in small bits at a time, letting his wisdom wash over me, seeing its relevance not just to martial arts but to life in general. I've also been watching videos about him, including
this one from the History Channel's program How Bruce Lee Changed the World.
Watch the first 30 sec of it as an example of my last point: that JKD can apply to life in general. It certainly fits what I do professionally, and I'm trying to increasingly apply it to my personal life as well.
On a related note, so we don't get
too far OT, I expect that Manix 2 to slide in here sometime early next week. My anticipation mounts ...
