  • Have empty rhetoric that sounds deep... but is shallow... and flaccid... devoid of any meaning... Like a pretentious prick. Put a pretentious prick in a interview, It becomes the interview. Tell a pretentious prick your anecdote, it becomes his anecdote.

    Don't be a pretentious prick my friend.

  • BRUCE FUCKING LEE!!

  • Any dumbass could talk like this, only because he is a film star people take it seriously.

  • @andrew31593 you must not be educated then if you say that

  • @BlakAttk Just because you buy into some filmstar you think anybody that doesn't is not educated ? You're a smart one.

  • @andrew31593 its based on ancient, deep chinese philosophy, almost a direct quote from Sun Tzu's Art of War, the classic, oldest military treatise exisiting in book form today and the foundation of all military warfare as we know it.

  • 6 People are not water.

  • You put water in Pakistan and the flood cleans all the terrorist.

  • him and this video is the reason why i do taekwondo now im a black belt 

  • @BossGamerKnowsBest haha same here bro. But after 10 years training i finally figured out what he meant... tkd doesn not absorb like water does! i converted to wingchun, Bruce's mother art

  • My mind is blown0__________o

  • Mind = Blown. O___________O

  • Bottom Line:

    Don't get set into one form/fighting style, adapt it and build your own, and let it grow, be like water. Water can be destructive like the crashing waves in sea, and it also flows, adapt to your opponents and situations.

  • Every time I watch this interview I get chills. He was unrelentingly intense in everything he did. Of all the internet memes, the word "epic" has never been truer to form than with Bruce-fuckin'-Lee.

    R.I.P, great warrior.

  • Phillip Chbeeb is the reason I heard of this!

  • LEGEN...wait for it...DARY!!

  • Water is the fluid and infinite energy of the yin/yang, the perpetual evolution and balance between the sunny rising or shady sloping side of the hill. Jeet Kune Do was the foundation of today's mixed martial arts where basically when you're on the street you have to adapt. If you do a stance :) , you're dead. Sometimes you have to walk away for survival sake, whatever the situation just flow.

  • my uncle saw this video, and now he´s wisky... :( Im sure he understood something wrong...

  • he means, sometime you cannot fight back becasue you dont have chance. So you got to be fit with situation and learn more. Dont give up, til one day, one moment, you have your chance, then go for it and give a deadly punch. The important is, no matter how, just like water, sometime soft but tough and sometime tough but flexible.

  • @private828 waw thats gotta be the biggest pile of S**t i have ever read. do ya even know the meaning of martial arts? or you just talking random for the hell of it?

  • @nathanwemyss maybe i dont know what is martial arts but he is not just talking about martial art only. please try to read what is about "Dao" 道 before you thinking about his "JKD".

  • I wonder if they caught the guy who wad hunting his family

  • SWAG

  • water water everywhere : )

  • respect

  • Yes, be water. When water hits an obstacle it goes around or through the cracks, when a stubborn boulder hits an object it either breaks or stops, but can never move on.

  • Bruce Lee is explaining Lao Tzu's basic principles that are the basic of Daoism. Great man!

  • Bruce Lee comments, fitting for World Water Day.

  • no wonder he likes to shout 'waaateerr!!' whenever he does his martial arts pose

  • @hahaz85 he does?

  • I'm 70% water...

  • @Rednex101 thats not enough!

    100% WATER NAOW >.<

  • he IS great!!!!

  • cute (:

  • The principle (or lack thereof) is about ADAPTATION. It is not Bruce Lee's "own" but is actually referenced by D.T. Suzuki (1870-1966), as well as the message of mistaking the pointing finger for the moon.

  • @apuzyr he's explaining Lao Tzu's basic principles of Taoism. If he is referencing then he's referencing Taoism. It's more than just about "ADAPTATION" but also about the concept of been flexible in martial art. Be flexible when you facing your opponent "formless, shapeless". Be flexible on how you exert force can generate great power "water can can flow or it can crash". There are a lot more message behind this words which of course, not only about martial art.

  • That was from Wesley Snipes Martial arts tribute show (noticed it by the old TNT logo)

  • Be WAATAA my friend.

  • I really miss him

  • He's smart.

    But imagine being his son/daughter. My god those lectures.....o_o

  • If I put kool aid in my water, will that still be ok?

    Bruce you were a legend.

  • @Ufollowme2 are

    

  • @Ufollowme2 u will be a sweet water my friend.

  • @Ufollowme2 lmao

  • I live my life based on this philosophy.

  • It is not the force acted upon you but how you react to it that matters. Envelop and embrace your oppressor or abuser. Demonstrate real power since power is more important then force. Real power like Gandi is from within not without!

  • Learn to flow.

  • Bruce was a legend... R.I.P Bruce! ;)

  • Wheres the full video?????????

  • Jeet Kune Do is an inspriation for DRAGON FROG.  Long Live the Master!

  • Goth kids must hate Bruce Lee.

  • He's looking at him sideways

  • A lot of what he says stems from Buddhism. I doubt he'd have labelled himself as anything but Buddhist is the closest you'd get to it.

  • amen, brother. the differences are vanity. what matters is being a decent human being.

  • B WOTAH MAH FREN

  • @EDDIEinWAR let me transalate in english!!! BE WATER MY FRIEND!!!

  • @dxable1234 ju pu wotah n da kap

  • @EDDIEinWAR lol

  • so classical

  • And the way he says cup is funny!

  • @Tech9Kc How does it seem so funny?

  • The water thing is all about the total package, water is all aspects of fighting. It's the most powerful force of nature. It can carve a mountain,it can flow through or around any obstacle as if to be unstopable. It is deffense and offense, it represents your state of mind . It can be angry, it can be calm. It is effected by it's environment just like you. You must flow my friend!

  • I like the way he says cup

  • Rip bruce lee he is the best

  • @ps3nikola Bruce Lee is an athiest! 

  • @JakeHustle2 stop playing!

  • @UniversalMinded Wow, check wikipedia about bruce, and theres one video here that he said he dont believe in God. Now you stop playing! Go buy the Bruce Lee book 'striking thoughts" there he said he dont believe in God. In one interview, he was asked if he had a religion, bruce said "no whatsoever" then he was asked again if he believe in God, he said "to be perfectly frank, i really dont believe in God" Now what?!

  • @JakeHustle2 That does'nt nessesarily mean that he's an Atheist, but i would'nt care even if he was, he's still my idol, just because people have different beliefs does'nt mean we can find a common ground or more importantly get along with each other, right?

  • @UniversalMinded Atheist means no belief in God. But he's still the greatest martial artist who ever lived

  • @JakeHustle2 TRUE

  • Hey "be water my firend" it´s one of the greatest composition of the World! Bruce Lee: I watched all his movies.

    He was one of the big Kung-Fu legends that the world ever saw!

    R.I.P.

  • Love this

  • Magical.

  • Check out this song: lyrics by Bruce Lee ;)

  • "Water flows continually into the ocean, yet the ocean is never disturbed;

    Desire flows into the mind of the seer, yet he is never disturbed

    Thus, the seer knows peace... He who knows peace has forgotten desire

    He lives without craving; free from ego, free from pride" - Upanishads

    Google it!

  • To be tasteless like water you put rose syrup into water it becomes sweet you put lime syrup into water it becomes lime juice and if u put a tea bag into water it becomes the tea be tasteless like water my friend.

  • It's not confusing at all. I understand what it means.

  • Bruce Tea-Pot ate ET and BA for lunch. FFS. LOL. SPZZZ.

  • i like his smile

  • @xARMANAA If you knew the context it makes perfect sense. He was describing his style of fighting. But, I guess looking into the context of things is far beyond your abilities... I apologize.

  • epic!

  • Confusing and Weird But Makes Sense and Is True!

  • He wasn`t referring to just combat with that quote but also the everyday contention in life;.

  • What happens when you put water into a silly straw?

  • be tasteless

  • @tomatoe39

    It's shapeless

  • Wow he's intense...

  • RIP godfather of martial arts

  • You just blew my mind Bruce.

  • amazing

  • This also applies to the battlefield of competing ideology. If one is bound by a stagnant world view. Well, one will always lose. I send my warm, kind and most humble regards :),

  • lao tzu made up also what bruce puts in 1 of his books "those who know dont speak, those who speak dont know"

  • If you put it in the titanic, it sinks the unsinkable ship. I think Bruce is saying something that seems very simple and childish, but its no less brilliant. He's absolutely right. One needs to adapt to their surroundings and be less stubborn, and have a more open mind. Given the racism and climate of the era then, and today, the message has lost none of its strength or significance. Simple, sound advice

  • @tkhushrenada your understanding is wrong,this is not what Bruce Lee means,you see 'Being Like Water'...This Is Our 'Main Defense',if you be like water No1 will catch you,no1 will be able to attack you, and you will be able to defend yourself in any environment...being like water is very much along the lines of intimidation and standing up for yourself,like a lion defends is terrority,but dont get it mixed up with attacking, being like water has nothing to do with attack, only self defense

  • @TOWinkworthIpswich yes, retard, it has everything to do with attack and NOTHING to do with defense. You throw water at someone, it will hit them, no matter what. You are a dumbass retard and are in much need of a life.

  • @SomeGreenTea you throw water at someone it will hit them no matter what? lmao? strangeee... im not a dumbass retard, i know more about jkd than ull ever know in ur whole life time

  • @tkhushrenada By far, the best reply I have seen from youtube yet. I favor this man along with Dr. Martin Luther King. Very well said, tk....very well said.

  • @tkhushrenada ok we heard the man. no need for you to elaborate.

  • @tkhushrenada what he´s saying is 100% about fighting.

  • @GeneralRushHour Not at all. The same principle that one applies to fighting, can be applied to any situation in life. Be fluid, keep an open mind, and flow like water... adapt and overcome.

  • great philosiphical and inspirtional speech u reely hav inspired a new generation of martail artists

  • be water my frend

  • did bruce lee make up this saying? its amazing !!!

  • @TOWinkworthIpswich

    Yes he did, Bruce Lee wrote a book on philosophy too

  • No he got it from the Tao, Lao Tzu's philosophy. Bruce Lee was well educated in philosophy.

  • Ah I thought he made this one... he did make allot of other philosophical phrases

  • Comment removed

  • @Tyrant60 Whats it called please ?!

  • @Tyrant60 i found it lol!!!!! the book i had it in my attic i hav tht book!!!

  • @anonymus1ful you know nothing about Bruce Lee ... Maybe you know nothing about fighting.... Bruce Lee studied beside of Wing Tsun many arts , like Boxing , fencing , Savate , ju jutzu , judo etc. He dropped the Wing Tsun defense in favour of Boxing and Savate moves... He was interested in fighting as a whole conzept and not only in styles...

    Don't believe Bruce Lee was a Wing Tsuler... he tried to be a completed fighter

  • 206 ernesto, what up mang! Beacon Hill over here, what part of the city u from?

  • Ballard bro.

    by the market st

  • Well, you're too dumb, to understand.

    He sais in the beginning, that you have to be formless, shapeless, just like Water.

    If you put it into a cup, the Water has the form of the cup then.

    It doesn't really becomes a cup!

  • bacon style is the best

  • It is very accurate to say this was Bruce Lee's Philosophy. He taught it and talked about it very often. No, he didn't invent this philosophy, but he practiced and believed it. He believed in learning and absorbing all fighting forms, having no single style or way. During a fight, you could then adapt your style to whatever was needed to overcome your opponent by flowing from hard to soft, aggressive, to defensive styles, changing, adapting, and flowing while searching for a weakness to exploit

  • In all honesty everything you just said was kung fu and bruce philosphy is sick but way to serious of a person.

  • "Sii come l'acqua che trova la sua via attraverso le crepe. Non essere irruente, ma adattati all'oggetto, così troverai una via per aggirarlo o attraversarlo.

    Libera la mente, sii senza schemi. Senza forma, come l'acqua.

    Se metti l'acqua in una tazza, essa diventa la tazza. Se metti l'acqua in una bottiglia, diventa la bottiglia, se metti l'acqua in una teiera essa diventa la teiera. L'acqua può scorrere o travolgere, sii come l'acqua amico mio." (Bruce Lee)

    he di arti marziali!!

  • Bruce Lee is legend.

  • Please stop saying, these words are "Bruce Lee's philosophy".

    First, this analogy to water is as old as kung fu.

    And second, more important, he's just quoting a dialogue from a movie in which he acted.

    I respect and love Lee but I think it's cool to have my feet on the ground.

    Cheers !

  • flowing waters

  • flowing water never becomes stale. We live in a very stagnate society. Imagine driving them over the road trucks for hours at a time, talk about becoming stagnate, also how many people have sit down jobs in this country? MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

  • Agreed.

  • You Also Have To Look At The Spiritual Meaning in it. It has a double meaning in it Water Is Life

  • i never get detailed until they insist..

    This is because, like Bruce Lee, i believe in being "like water", i don't believe in different styles, we all have the same body and can do any moves or techniques we want (no offense to those who have disabilities, of course)

    For example, a person who does Judo can go learn and use a move from a person who does MMA, it doesn't matter. Thats a bad example, but you probably wont really understand it unless you do martial arts. Be like water, my friend. xD

  • Alot of people don't understand Lee or what he was saying...When Lee was saying be like water...He was saying this...Be able to adapt to anything...OR Fit in with anything or style in the martial arts...That the form of whatever style is in front of you...Water can take the form of anything...So Lee was saying he can blend in and handle any style by using no style as a style...When you think about this guy and look at what he accomplished...He's a freaking Genius when it comes to fighting.

  • i was about to write a description of what he was saying, then i noticed that MrJournalism101 already wrote an accurate one... ive been doing martial arts for a little over a year, and i train twice a week, but the nights i dont have training i train at home. Technically, i do Hapkido (if you wanna know what it is, look up the video King of Hapkido, that has a few good guys in it), but whenever someone asks me about it i say "I do Martial Arts."

  • It means to adapt, to flow. To be able to be sfot and hard, to be strong yet mobile. Water can seep through the smallest crack, yet it can destroy everything in sight.

  • Being in a state of continuous flow, to be water, is to be able to adapt instantly to whatever is needed, in both martial arts and life.

  • he was the best kung-fu fighter

  • not kung fu, jeet kune do.

  • he also practice the kung fu

  • ha as a martial art, its got nothing on jeet kune do, because Bruce Lee is the creator of Jeet Kune Do. Utilixing different aspects of various arts to form a formless art. that was the best.

  • ... You all know nothing about Ninjutsu

    Ninjtsu is formless when you lerned all

    techniks! and when you don't know,don't

    write about it!

  • it means dont be dumb.

  • no it means to be adaptable like water.

  • it means to adapt and ure just to stupid to understand

  • My life philosophy

  • Strong word.

  • EPIC

  • "Use no way as way" & "Have no limitation as limitation" Bruce Lee JKD

  • buy botteld water was all i heard

  • LOLOLOLOLOL!!!

  • lol

    dumbass

  • lmfao

  • someone please tell me how he died

  • he died of some excessive bleeding in his head and took a painkiller, then he went to sleep at 7:30 and he died after that

  • alergie to a pain pill for a burst vaiun in his temple

  • A foreshadowing of events to come occurred on May 10, 1973, when Lee collapsed in Golden Harvest studios while doing dubbing work for Enter the Dragon. Suffering from full-body seizures and cerebral edema, he was immediately rushed to Hong Kong Baptist Hospital where doctors were able to reduce the swelling through the administration of mannitol and revive him. These same symptoms that occurred in his first collapse were later repeated on the day of his death.

  • yuo copied and psted from wikipedia

  • So?
