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.

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).

  • Create what is novel
  • Retain what works
  • Update what exists
  • Delete what does not work

SIDTODO: Ip Man, Kalaripayattu, Taijitu, duality, etc.

  1. the Yin Yang symbol being one of the popular ones
