Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan & Me

By Chris Leave a Comment

Two of my favourite martial artists are the late Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan.

I never met them but they do inspire me when I’m training.

When I’m jumping up and down with my sabre I visualise I’m Bruce Lee defending myself against numerous attackers.

I may look like a constipated Ninja Turtle but that doesn’t matter. I’m enjoying myself letting out the occasional Bruce Lee growl.

And when I get too carried away I bring myself back to earth with a dull thud by visualising the Jackie Chan movie out-takes. The ones where the stunts go wrong.

Yes, it’s important to remember that when you have your head up in the clouds – keep both feet on the ground.
