As a young man I realized that exercising your mind is far more important than exercising your body. Powerful ideas are more powerful than any muscle. But then I saw Enter the Dragon with Bruce Lee and was like "fuck that nerd shit I want to be able to punch someone so hard they go through a wall." - ThreadSky

Exercising your mind is how you headbutt people through walls.

Didn’t Bruce study philosophy in college?

He said he did, but his actual major at the University of Washington was drama. The classes he took in psychology and philosophy did turn those into lifelong interests, though.

Also, he kicked a guy so hard he broke somebody else's bones.

It was in his fight with Bob Wall in Enter the Dragon. The kick was powerful enough to send him flying back into the surrounding row of extras, and one of the extras broke an arm.

My goodness. I’m glad people still love Bruce. I’ll always love his work. For a brief time in the 80s, he made an uncoordinated fat kid from the Midwest think he could be a real life ninja
