Rare interview with Bruce Lee

What Man has to get over is the Consciousness of the SElf
Bruce Lee

He's becoming very stylized; he has all the preparation for kicking. It seems like his consciousness is really dominating. 
Bruce Lee kicks at SLOWEST speed are still not viewable - too fast!

 As Jackie Chan once commented Bruce had to slow down some of his moves in his films cause cameras during that time period could not capture the speed. Clearly you can also see the accuracy and power he had in his demonstrations whether on a human being or object.
 The Principle of Non-intention, although quite simple in concept, is really huge in magnitude. It involves a lot, both in its usage and in the results achieved, all quite remarkable. Non-intention is often confused with non-telegraph, yet the two are the neither the same, nor even remotely related. Non-telegraph means to not send a signal to your opponent that you are about to strike. Conversely, Non-intention means to strike without interference from the consciousness of self that greatly restricts physical performance.

 ‘I’m moving and not moving at all. I’m like the moon underneath the waves that ever go on rolling and rocking. It is not, ‘I am doing this,’ but rather, an inner realization that ‘this is happening through me,’ or ‘it is doing this for me. The consciousness of self is the greatest hindrance to the proper execution of all physical action.’
 
Bruce Lee/Tao of Jeet Kune Do.
Dan Inosanto:

 he caught me like I was in slow motion. It was like a bad dream
