Bruce Lee and "The Way of the Intercepting Fist"
Bruce taught me to dissect time into infinite degrees. It's what he called 'playing between the keys of the piano.' It's the understanding that you actually have worlds of time within seconds to do something unanticipated when your opponent is already committed to his announced [telegraphed] action."
Sterling Silliphant, Bruce Lee: FIghting Words
In 1971, a quirky TV movie aired on the ABC Movie of the Week called Longstreet.
The movie was written by Sterling Silliphant, an Oscar winning writer (In the Heat of the Night) and a student of Bruce Lee. The show was picked up as a series whose debut episode was called "The Way of the Intercepting Fist."
Silliphant was Bruce's student in that 3 year "in-between" period (after , The Green Hornet and before his first post-US feature film, The Big Boss).
He also got Bruce some Hollywood work, writing him a memorable cameo in the James Garner movie Marlowe, where Bruce is a Mob enforcer who destroys Marlowe's office. He also wrote Bruce a pivotal role for Longstreet.
Longstreet was a detective show about an insurance investigator who, while investigating some jewel thefts, is blinded and widowed by an explosion meant to silence him. A key character in the early shows was Li Tsung, who helps Longstreet regain his independence, basically by teaching him Wing Chun / Jeet Kune Do.
Duke Paige: What is this thing you do?
Li Tsing: In Catonese, Jeet Kune Do – the way of the intercepting fist.
Duke Paige: Intercepting fist, huh?
One of the things I find most interesting about this show is how much of Bruce's subsequent media image seems to have been formed by this series. Whole swaths of the dialog show up in other media, such as Enter the Dragon ("boards don't hit back") and in Bruce's famous interview with Pierre Berton (Be like water, my friend").
I suspect this is because Silliphant was able to artfully take Bruce's teachings and style of speaking and turn it into great dialog. Then Bruce naturally was able to use these well-written versions of his teachings which he had memorized for the show.
I saw this show when it aired (I was 9). I was of course interested in the discussions of how to fight (being a small kid and a wise ass, a bad combination). I was intrigued by the combination of philosophy and violence explored on the show. Bruce often said very ambiguous things, which drew me in with more force, the mystery something to chew on, like the Japanese kōan. What does that mean? Fighting without fighting? No style?
Bruce Lee on Muhammad Ali: "He'd Kill Me."
From Sports section of http://www.complex.com/
Its interesting to me that this is even a conversation, but its still interesting.
There is a great reservoir of magical thinking that surrounds Chinese fighting arts. Even though I sometimes follow the convention of calling a style of fighting an art, I am actually in the camp with Wong Shun Leung that Wing Chun (and other forms of kung fu fighting styles) are skills, not arts. The worth of an art is something that is assessed based on an aesthetic (opinion).
Skills either work or they don't.
But many people still believe in "Dim Mak" and magical Qi powers. My experience is that some of these phenomenon exist but they are exceedingly difficult to cultivate (taking years of effort) and even then, they don't turn you into Superman. This is the clear message we get from the tragedy of the Boxer Rebellion at the start of the 20th Century. Iron Shirt Chi Gung won't stop bullets.
In unarmed fighting, size matters. Chinese systems like Wing Chun and Hung Gar and Bagua are just fighting technologies that are not inherently superior to other methods of fighting. Any highly skilled fighter in any fighting skill is potentially dangerous and physics always plays a great role, despite the various tactics used to try and offset advantages of power or size.
"First courage, then power, then skill" is a standard Chinese saying in this regard.
Bruce Lee was a great admirer of Ali and used to study his fight films, even shadow boxing with Ali's projected image. Many have commented that Lee's dancing footwork is Ali-like.
In the book The Making of Enter the Dragon, director Robert Clause recounted a conversation related to him by Bolo Yeung (the big muscular Chinese guy from that film). "Bruce knew he could never win a fight against Ali. 'Look at my hand,' he said. 'That's a little Chinese hand. He'd kill me.'"
Bruce Lee was 5-foot-7 and weighed 145 pounds.
Muhammad Ali was 6-foot-3 and weighed 200+.
Do the math!
I know, I know — Bruce Lee did a lot of Biu Jee (darting fingers) and so forth, but Ali was big and strong and fast and had amazing reflexes. He demonstrated many times his capacity to knock out heavyweights with strong chins (Liston, Foreman, etc). He outweighed Lee by 60 pounds. There is a reason people use the phrase "pound for pound" when discussing fighters!
We can all learn form Lee (again!) and take a dose of reality in regard to our fight fantasies. The first step toward improvement is realistic self-assessment.
Philipp Bayer on the Genius of Wing Chun
Understanding the genius of Ving Tsun should not take longer than an afternoon. By then, everything should be clear….Following that, it becomes about deciding how you can achieve these goals most efficiently. This is also a part of the system…Unfortunately, Ving Tsun is too perfect, such that in one's life-span, no more than approx. 70% of it can be mastered even with great efforts! The Human Factor, as always."– Philipp Bayer
NOTES: Check out the section showing Sifu Bayer doing a Lap Sau demo with Wong Shun Leung. Many people mistakenly do a sort of hammer fist against the Bong, but it is correct to make this a punch with an angle toward the head. The partner forms a bong against your forward pressure and you get your elbow down and then punch forward (from the elbow).
Also, in the Shawn Obasi footage below, Sifu Bayer does a combination — a series starting with a Bong, then a Cover (Jut), a Fung Hau (Knife Hand) with the Bong hand (Bong goes to Fung Hau very easily), and a Lap (which snaps Obasi forward, breaking his structure). This is very effective the way he does it because its all so fluid, in almost one motion. This is the magic of thousands of hours of training. A series of actions become fluid and can be applied in what appears to an observer (like the guy on the receiving end) to be a blur. In someone else, I would consider this to be a little flowery (i.e., risky), but he does it so fast, with such control of the opponent and his centerline, that it is a very functional set of actions.
See how easily Sifu Bayer pops Obasi's significant weight, bouncing him back with little effort — THAT'S STRUCTURE.
The Art of Learning: An Inner Journey to Optimal Performance
"A core part of the way I train people is around the interplay of themes or principles and habits. The habits are what we can actually train…the principles are what we are trying to embody."
Josh Waitzkin, on The Tim Ferris Show
When I started writing this blog in 2012, I was mostly driven by my desire to create the sort of resource (map) that was lacking when I started trying to find and then learn a functional approach to Wing Chun.
It's no secret that many people who have trained in various Wing Chun schools discover their "skills" are not up to handling the sort of attacks they encounter from other fighters using other styles. I looked for 8 years (because I'm crazy like that) until I found a teacher whose approach to Wing Chun (if you put in the hard work) was capable of handling any comers.
I always knew it existed and I found it and then I wanted to share what I had learned. I wanted to share the the short-cuts I'd eventually found, and most importantly, the basic ideas. Ideas are ultimately what make the difference. As my Sigung says, "An ox works hard all day, but when night comes, he's still an ox." You need the right ideas so you can train smart and not waste your time.
Over the course of writing hundreds of posts, I've discovered my "wheelhouse" or place in the Wing Chun community.
My job is to find the best ideas in Wing Chun and the best ideas from outside which can support Wing Chun and present them in a clear and simple fashion. To put it more bluntly, my job is to separate the "shit from the Shinola" and present my findings. Like a museum curator, I sift through the vast amount of information and bring only the jewels to your attention. The real and the true.
The best ideas from outside Wing Chun often come from either other styles (Boxing, BJJ, etc) or the sciences, such as Engineering and Psychology. They often show up inside books, such as The Art of Learning.
One of the most important skills you have to learn in order to go from beginner to intermediate as a fighter (or anything really) is the intelligent self-assessment combined with goal setting.
You have to check yourself, see where you are, and figure out how to take the next few steps. This is what my Sifu calls a "training direction."
"If even for a blink of an eye you can control two of the other guy's limbs with one of yours, either with angle or timing or some sort of clinch, then the opponent is in grave danger. The free hand can take him apart."
Josh Waitzkin
Waitzkin's book is a chronicle of how he learned to learn. This is a key concept and deserves emphasis.
The most valuable skill you can possess in the world is to know how to learn.
He goes into great detail examining the skills he developed on his way to becoming first a child prodigy chess player (he was the subject of the film Searching for Bobby Fishcher), then a world class Tai Chi Push Hands fighter (under William Chen), then a black black in Brazilian Ju Jitsu under Marcelo Garcia (considered by many to be one of the best pound for pound submission grapplers in the world, with whom Waitzkin started a BJJ school in New York).
Waitzkin boils his lessons down into principles and methods for going deeper into your art. His book took me a long time to read, because its deep and very nuanced.

UFC on FX 7: Belfort vs. Bisping, unlike most of the UFC's preceding events in Brazil, sold tickets on a slow burn leading up to the day of the fight.
Ultimately, however, the event was a sellout, drawing 9,116 in attendance, according to UFC officials at the post-fight press conference. The gate was not revealed.
UFC on FX 7 was the promotion's first non-pay-per-view offering since returning to Brazil in late 2011, and was set-up accordingly for roughly 9,000 fans. It was held at the Ibirapuera Arena in Sao Paulo.
Vitor Belfort drove his Brazilian fans into a frenzy when he knocked out Michael Bisping with a head kick in the main event. The knockout derailed Bisping's opportunity to gain a title shot against UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva, but left Belfort in limbo, calling for Chael Sonnen to step aside to give him a rematch with Jon Jones.
Although no dates have been announced, the UFC is expected to return to Brazil several more times this year, including an early June date for the finale of the second season of The Ultimate Fighter: Brasil.
Stay tuned to MMAWeekly.com for up to the minute UFC on FX 7 news and fight coverage.

Wouldn't a better headline be "gay-friendly bishop elected in Chicago"? Seriously, the results of this election are a good thing; not a bad thing. We don't always have to insist on the "gay candidate"; they can support "the tribe" and still not be a member of it.

The Fairfax Symphony's next concerts are Saturday evening, March 17, 2012 at George Mason University's Center for the Arts, and Sunday afternoon, March 18th at the Hylton Performing Arts Center in Manassas. Music Director Christopher Zimmerman conducts. Pianist Rick Rowley joins the orchestra for Franz Liszt's 2nd Concerto. The 1919 suite from Stravinsky's Firebird opens the concert, and it concludes with two works by Jean Sibelius (as the Fairfax Symphony concludes its three-year focus on the Finnish composer) — Finlandia, and his 7th Symphony. Classical WETA morning host David Ginder chats with Mo. Zimmerman about the pinnacle of Sibelius's symphonies, why he wrote nothing during the last three decades of his life, and why there are three different Firebird suites.

He'll have to do it all over again to play next season.Two weeks after a gruesome compound fracture of his right leg, George said Friday he remains hopeful that he can make it back onto the court late next season even though it's a longshot. George called the injury a ''freak accident.''''All I can do at this point is sleep, watch TV and lay down, so it's tough for me. I'm used to being active, lifting weights, being in the gym,'' George said as his mother and father watched his news conference from a few feet away. ''At the same time, I want to be part of this team. The last thing I want to do is feel like I'm not part of this team because I'm out. I'm holding out hope, just personally, because I want to be back.''George has thrived in the underdog role, going from mostly overlooked prep recruit to Fresno State star. He was impressive enough in college to catch the attention of Pacers president of basketball operations Larry Bird, who took him No. 10 overall in 2010. After his third season in the league, George was named the NBA's Most Improved Player. He's led the Pacers in scoring, played in the All-Star Game and made the league's all-defensive team each of the past two seasons.Paul was injured Aug. 1 during a U.S. national team scrimmage in Las Vegas when he his right leg collided with the basketball stanchion, snapping it in two.''When I looked down and saw bone sticking out, I knew it was bad,'' George said, later describing the feeling as having his leg lit on fire. ''I'd felt pain before, but I have never felt pain like that. So I knew it was bad.''George said he has watched the replay once and won't watch it again.Doctors have told the 24-year-old star that he is likely to make a full recovery, though it will take a full year. Bird and coach Frank Vogel said earlier this week they did not plan to have George in 2014-15.George said he thinks he can change those plans -- if he can avoid risking another injury.George said doctors placed pins in his knee and ankle to stabilize a rod that was inserted into the injured leg, which was broken in two places. Three days later, he returned to his suburban Indianapolis home where is now recuperating in a cast and hobbling around on crutches.While no firm timetable has been set for his return, George said he could begin strengthening his right knee as early as next week. That's little consolation to the workaholic.''This was going to be a huge year for me, so for me not to be out there at the beginning, I do feel a little guilty about that,'' George said. ''It hurts.''The immediate question that went through George's mind was whether he did something wrong on the play.Some have questioned whether the NBA's highest-paid stars, such as George, should risk injury while representing their country or whether the stanchion was too close to the court. George didn't offer an opinion about the stanchion but did make one thing clear: He wants to play for the 2016 Olympic Team.''I think it's real unfair, the criticism they are getting because it was a freak accident. No one's really been injured since USA Basketball has been here,'' George said. ''It was a freak accident. Freak accidents happen.''George thanked the national team, players around the league, those within the Pacers organizations and fans for their outpouring of support. A small contingent of George's fan club waited outside Bankers Life Fieldhouse to catch a glimpse of him pulling into the arena's underground garage. A handful of teammates also showed up at the news conference.George recently received clearance from the NBA to change his number from 24 to 13, giving him the much more marketable moniker of PG-13. To do that, he splurged for about 600 of his own jerseys, which he donated to his high school and a local Boys & Girls Club near his hometown of Palmdale, California.Otherwise, he's not planning to change a thing.''I never play the game with any hesitation, that's probably why I'm in this cast,'' George said, drawing laughter. ''I'm not looking at this as something negative for my career. It's something I can overcome and it will be a great opportunity to sit back and watch and learn the game.'' Comments More NBA

In this provocative, thorough examination of the final months of the war, American Experience looks at the escalation of bloodletting from the vantage points of both the Japanese and the Americans. Despite warnings that his country, brought to its knees by the conflict, might erupt in a Communist revolution, Emperor Hirohito believed that one last decisive battle could reverse Japan's fortunes. From the U.S. capture of the Mariana Islands through the firebombing of Tokyo and the dropping of the atomic bomb, Victory in the Pacific chronicles the dreadful and unprecedented loss of life and the decisions made by leaders on both sides that finally ended the war.
For 2,000 years Japan had never been defeated. There was no word for "surrender" in the Japanese dictionary. And although the Japanese government never believed it could defeat the United States, it did intend to negotiate an end to the war on favorable terms. It hoped that by attacking the fleet at Pearl Harbor it could delay American intervention, gaining time to solidify its Asian empire. Then it planned to fight a decisive battle that would bloody American forces, forcing the U.S. to negotiate a peace and leave Japan's old order, the emperor and the military government, in power.
Predicting U.S. Actions
After losing the Mariana Islands and the Battle of the Philippine Sea in July 1944, Japan realized that the decisive battle was likely to be fought on Japan's main islands. In January 1945 Japan's high command anticipated exactly what the U.S. would do -- and began to plan for it. Japanese strategists predicted correctly that Americans would assault the islands of Iwo Jima and then Okinawa, where the Japanese hoped fierce resistance would force a negotiated peace. The Japanese also prepared for an invasion of Japan from Okinawa. American fighter planes' range indicated where the landing would be -- on the island of Kyushu. From Kyushu, planners predicted the Americans would try to launch an invasion of Tokyo. The Japanese called the final decisive battle on the main islands Ketsu-Go.
Suicidal Plans
The Japanese strategy was to destroy the invader's landing vessels before they hit the beaches. For this purpose, Japan had reserved about 5,000 conventional aircraft and a variety of suicide vehicles, including about 5,500 kamikaze planes, 1,300 suicide submarines, and several hundred piloted bombs. There were even frogmen, wearing explosives, who would blow up landing craft -- and themselves.
The Last Stand
The invaders who made it to shore would face Imperial Army divisions expected, as always, to fight to the last man. Civilians were recruited to fight alongside the soldiers with sharpened bamboo spears. The government held up as a model to civilians on the main islands the civilians on Saipan who had jumped off cliffs rather than surrender. Richard B. Frank, author of Downfall: the End of the Imperial Japanese Empire, describes their position: "In their war gaming of Ketsu-Go, the Japanese had worked out that they could destroy up to a third of the invasion force while it was still afloat. If you consider how General [George] Marshall recoiled when he saw the defense buildup in early August, I think the Japanese had a substantial basis to believe that Ketsu-Go could deliver something to them better than unconditional surrender."
June Decision
Although the Japanese emperor, Hirohito, had approved Ketsu-Go in January, it was presented to him again on June 8 by a new government. Every government sought the emperor's sanction for its plans. That day the emperor and his war cabinet also considered reports that doubted Japan's ability to continue the war. One report stressed its industry was wrecked, local police were concerned about popular unrest, food was short, and if the fall rice harvest were low, there could be mass starvation. Other reports said the Imperial Navy was sunk and the Imperial Army in China depleted. "And everyone says, 'Well, yes, but let's fight to the bitter end.' The extremity of their situation actually propels them to seek a decisive battle before their condition becomes so hapless, they can't even do that," recounts historian Edward Drea.
Envoy to Moscow
Japan's government was ruled by consensus, and the emperor's role was to sanction its unanimous decisions. Nonetheless, after the June 8th meeting, both the emperor and his chief adviser, Marquis Koichi Kido, were troubled. They began to seek a diplomatic solution, asking the Soviet Union to mediate an end to the war. Two weeks later, on June 22, the emperor did something highly unusual. He opened a conference with his war cabinet by announcing he wanted to send a special envoy to Moscow. The war cabinet agreed for different reasons. The peace faction hoped it would lead to peace. The hard-liners hoped it would keep the Soviet Union, which had recently ended a neutrality agreement with Japan, from declaring war.
Final Days
On July 27, when Japan's government ignored an Allied ultimatum from Potsdam, warning of "prompt and utter destruction" unless it surrendered unconditionally, it was still waiting to hear from Moscow. On August 8, the U.S. dropped the world's first deployed atomic bomb on the Japanese city of Hiroshima. The Soviet Union declared war on Japan and invaded Japanese-held Manchuria on the night of August 8. The war cabinet met to consider peace terms for the first time the next morning, learning while they were in deliberations that the Americans had used a second atomic weapon on Nagasaki. Government hard-liners still held out, hoping not only to maintain the imperial system, but also for other terms designed to preserve the old order. They even hoped to avoid a U.S. occupation. The emperor had to intervene twice, on August 9 and 14, to break deadlocks in his war cabinet and get it to accept the Allies' terms. On August 15, Japanese citizens heard the emperor's voice for the first time, broadcasting news of the nation's capitulation -- without once using the word "surrender."

Benalla horse rider wins state showjumping title
Alexandra Robinson is one of the youngest riders to ever win the Pony Club Association of Victoria's A-grade showjumping state championships.March 14, 2014 4:17am
Riders from Benalla and the North Eastern Zone shone at this year's Pony Club Association of Victoria State Dressage and Showjumping Championships earlier this month.
Benalla Pony Club rider Alexandra Robinson finished first in A-grade showjumping, alongside Benalla's Ryan Waddell in second and Sarah Osborne in fifth.
Only 13 years old, Alexandra beat competitors up to the age of 25 to claim the title.
''She's worked very hard for it and done all the work herself, she's got a really good relationship with the horse and they work very well together,'' her mother Kate Robinson said.
Alexandra moved into A-grade in August and her dedication and strong relationship with her horse Dozer helped her excel in the competition.
''The horse was given to her by her sister about five years ago because her other horse died,'' Kate Robinson said.
''At that stage we didn't know how good he was, but she took him on and took him to where he is today.''
In the teams' competition Benalla's Rebecca Robinson, Hannah Ramage and Olivia Osborne, and Kergunyah's Kate Babidge placed fifth in the B-grade team showjumping competition.
Other outstanding results from the North Eastern zone included the grade two dressage team — Emily Campbell, Florence Goodwin and Shivonne Watson — placing second; the C-grade showjumping team — Mitchell Connell, Clara Girdwood, Molly Hore and Lachlan Staats — placing third; and Maddison Connell from Wodonga placing third in A-grade showjumping.

It's about winning, not spending, with Senators

Beginning of Story Content
Captain Daniel Alfredsson and his Ottawa Senators dropped a 6-2 decision in Game 5 to the Pittsburgh Penguins, who become the first team to march to the conference finals. But was this Alfredsson's final NHL game?
PITTSBURGH -- The Ottawa Senators, the lone Canadian-based team to make it to the second round of the Stanley Cup playoffs, played their final game on Friday evening. But was this the final NHL game for their dependable and popular captain Daniel Alfredsson?
Alfredsson and his Senators dropped a
6-2 decision in Game 5
to the Pittsburgh Penguins, who became the first team to march to the conference finals.
It wasn't the way the Senators wanted to end such a surprising and impressive season, in which they overcame a tremendous amount of adversity because of long-term injuries to key players. But they were thoroughly beaten in this series. The high-flying Penguins outscored Ottawa 22-11 and outshot them 197-170.
As Alfredsson remarked afterwards, they just could not slow the Penguins down.
"They were better than us in each and every game," he said. "I still believed we could have done it ... [but] they were a class above us."
Alfredsson was on the bench for the final 70 seconds. When the final horn went, he sat there a tad longer than his teammates before he joined the rest of the team on the ice around goalie Craig Anderson.
Alfredsson was the second Ottawa player in the handshake line. He spent some extra time talking to Penguins defenceman Douglas Murray, a fellow Swede. Then the Senators captain skated off the ice and headed down the tunnel to the Senators dressing room.
He was asked about what he thought about as the clock ticked down on the series.
"In the last few minutes, not much really," he said. "If I had decided to retire it would have been different. It's always tough when you lose out.
"This season has been crazy, hectic. There has been no time to reflect on anything really. It always feels empty when the season is over."
Alfredsson went on to say that his decision to continue playing or not will come down to family. He'll meet with general manager Bryan Murray over the next few days to get a timeframe for when the Senators would like him to make his decision.

The next step
There also will be many discussions with his wife Birgitta to see what she thinks the next step should be. They have four young sons, who don't mind one bit if dad continues because they like fooling around in the dressing room pool, but Alfredsson doesn't like the time away from his kids.
"I love to play," he said. "I love to practice. I love the game. It's tough to travel with four kids at home."
When you think of the Ottawa Senators hockey club, you think of Alfredsson. Or so you should. Sure Erik Karlsson is the reigning Norris Trophy winner. Anderson was one of the game's top goalies this season.
But Alfredsson has been the face of the franchise for 17 years. He's been a true leader. He's been pure class.
Trust me, he's a popular guy all around the league. Remember last year's NHL all-star game in Ottawa? It became an all-Alfredsson affair. The game's best toasted one of the game's best and most thoughtful players.
Alfredsson turns 41 on Dec. 11. He also becomes an unrestricted free agent this season. If he decides to return for an 18th season it will no doubt be with the Senators. They still want the player they drafted in 1994 in the sixth round (133rd overall).
And why not?
He's still productive. He still can skate. He's healthy again. The Senators are a contender and have depth to further improve. If he returns for one more year, he could play in his fifth Olympics in Sweden. He also remains one of the best leaders in the game.
Sure he took plenty of heat this week for his
"probably not" answer
to a question moments after Game 4, when he was asked if the Senators could bounce back in this series after a 7-3 thrashing to go down 3 games to 1.
He followed up that remark with a promise that his team would travel to Pittsburgh and play their best game of the series. Unfortunately, his teammates didn't get the message.
Especially Sergei Gonchar. The 39-year-old defenceman also may have played his last NHL game and his final two were far from his best.
There is something to build on in Ottawa. Karlsson wasn't the same since he returned from lacerated Achilles tendon. Jason Spezza was nowhere near his top form after missing almost four months due to back surgery. With those two in peak condition, a couple more pieces, who knows what the Senators will be capable of under head coach Paul MacLean.
It just won't be the same in Ottawa if Alfredsson decides to end his days as a player.
"I know when I make the decision it will be definite," he said.
