Even though this letter is just a draft right now, I am publishing it anyway. It’ll stay on the front page eventually forcing me to edit it so it’s not a grot letter anymore.
This letter is dedicated to the logo that you see on the site. It’s a member of the Taijitu family 1.
JKD is Bruce Lee’s contribution to Martial Arts. Capturing the best-of-“insert your favourite martial art”, he created Jeet Kune Do - a pinnacle of duelism (or even dualism).
Here’s a Computer Science or record-keeping analogy to the philosophy/principle/tenet/सिद्धांत that’s core to Jeet Kune Do-
- Create what is novel
- Retain what works
- Update what exists
- Delete what does not work
SIDTODO: Ip Man, Kalaripayattu, Taijitu, duality, etc.
- the Yin Yang symbol being one of the popular ones ↩
