Martial arts: Philosophy, Benefits, and the Legend of Bruce Lee

Two months ago, I started training in Jeet Kune Do (JKD), or also known as “the way of the intercepting fist,” meaning, to stop the attack before it even happens. It was created by the famous Chinese/American actor, director, martial artist instructor, and philosopher Bruce Lee and has referred to it as a “non-classical”, formless form of Chinese Kung Fu. While also watching the show Legend of Bruce Lee on Netflix, I have learned a lot about the background and philosophy of martial arts.

Ramblings on knowing and doing

This morning, as I was in warrior pose during my morning yoga practice, I couldn’t help but allow my mind to wander. My thoughts were on thinking about the integrity of our world. What does that even mean - the integrity of our world? Does it imply that there is some other purpose than simply existing? What’s the purpose of things? What’s a worthy enough purpose?

Music for productive study

There’s always been a great debate on whether music can help you study or be a distraction. A lot of us students listen to music while we study, and most of us can agree that it actually can help us concentrate and not get distracted by other devices or other things, but some music with lyrics can. I’ve discovered that a good way to study with music is by listening to more classical, orchestral music, old jazz, music with little to no singing, or even themed ambiences from YouTube. It might sound silly or unappealing but music that is relaxing or has hardly any lyrics can help set the vibe and get us in a better mood.
