Nice catch, Grant.

Also gives me an excuse to link to this awesomeness:

Lee´s contribution to not just the martial arts but to all of the personal development disciplines was, and remains disproportionately influential. Not necessarily because of what he said - and yes there are some great quotes - but because he clearly did the things he spoke of. And it is is this elusive quality, the ability to absorb an idea into our daily practice that so clearly illuminates those that do it. AS far as Lee´s philosophy went, he agreed it was mainly derivative (Simple blend of Lao Tsu, Chuang Tzu and Krishnamurti) as is all creative thought and action. But the capacity to live out the thought, now that is worth learning: He wrote -

It is not a question of developing what has already been developed but of recovering what has been left behind. These things have been with us, in us, all the time…..my art is not a matter of technology, but of spritual insight and training.

Returning to an Uncarved Presence.

This is the one I posted a couple of days ago in the context of distinguishing between methodology and technology:

I hope martial artists are more interested in the root of martial arts and not the different decorative branches, flowers or leaves. It is futile to argue as to which single leaf, which design of branches or which attractive flower you like; when you understand the root, you understand all its blossoming.

Thank you Merlin for linking to that jewel! Awesome video.
