A Lesson in Self-Defense from the Teachers of Bruce Lee’s Jeet Kune Do

Making a fist with my right hand and covering it with my left, I bowed before entering the training room. Five Fairtex punching bags hung on wall mounts that jutted out from the gray, exposed brick. The mirror made it look like there were 10. Above the mirror, words plastered on three posters made a list: Partiality, Fluidity, Emptiness.

Within the walls of the building covered in dragons and a mural of Bruce Lee surrounded by cherry blossom trees, instructors of the NY Martial Arts Academy teach Jeet Kune Do.
