awareness

“awareness”

Lee, Bruce. Tao of Jeet Kune Do. Black Belt Communications, 2011, loc. 26.

Lee uses the word ”awareness,” quite a bit. I’m glad to see this, as it is supremely important in understanding all phases (including what many would consider pre-combat). Though, he stops short of defining this awareness in a way that someone who wasn’t already thinking of it in this way, would be able to grasp that he means for you to practice this awareness in all of life, not just at the point of combat.
