I've always held this conjecture that Jeet Kune do (JK do, so to speak) was actually a nod to JK, Jiddu Krishnamurthi, whose writings deeply influenced Bruce Lee while being bedridden in hospital for many months.
He was the David Goggins of that generation. What an amazing human being.
- elteto 3y agoHow is he like Goggins? I can’t think of two human beings farther apart.
- vijucat 3y agoBoth faced racism and turned to physical training as a way of overcoming it. Both had a belief and practice around "mind over matter". Both consider themselves philosophers to an extent.
- sharadov 3y agoHad no idea that he was influenced by JK. JK's writings deeply influenced me - you have to spend a lot of time in your head to digest it though.
- kcartlidge 3y ago> Jiddu Krishnamurthi, whose writings deeply influenced Bruce Lee JK's "Total Freedom" is a book I've kept, in various formats, for over two decades. One of those rare works where you can dip in randomly and be confronted with the need to consider. Also loved "The Tao of Jeet Kune Do". Never knew about a connection between Bruce and Jiddu's philosophies. Thanks.
