Bruce Lee, did you know that..

Psychology and Science now recognise that there are many “types” of intelligence, not just intellectual. There is emotional, creative, musical, sporting etc. However there is one very specific form of intelligence that Bruce Lee had that is not talked about:

• Predictive intelligence.

Much of our success and happiness in life, depends on how well we predict the future. A huge part of our consciousness and mental activity falls into the area of prediction. Watch your mind for evidence of this.

A good martial artist MUST be a master predictor of their opponent’s actions. But this ability also plays a huge role in what we do and say each day, each hour, each moment!

The dragon predicted that he would be a major movie star in his written “Definite Chief Aim”… he also predicted that if he went to Hong Kong and became successful there, then Hollywood would come knocking on his door… which they did.

So how do we improve our “predictive intelligence”.

(1) Gather information - Be knowledgeable… or as Bruce said “research your own experience”.

(2) Have an aim - Know what you want.

(3) Know your strengths and weaknesses. Then your future assessments become much more accurate.

(4) Welcome feedback - Bathe in feedback, especially critical! As Bruce observed “be a nobody”, then whatever others say is just information.

(5) Keep adjusting and evolving through evaluation of your intelligent predictions, and work on making them better each day.

“Predictive intelligence” is truly a dragon super skill!

The Fisherman and the Emperor:

For forty years, a fisherman in China used a straight needle to fish with. Whenever someone asked him why he didn't use a bent hook, the fisherman always replied, "You can catch an ordinary fish with a bent hook, but I will catch a great fish with my straight hook." Finally, word of this reached the Emperor, who decided to visit this foolish fisherman himself. After the Emperor saw the man fishing with a straight needle, he asked, "What are you fishing for?" The fisherman said: "I am fishing for you, Emperor!" - Zen story

Chuck Norris was asked about Bruce Lee..

Here what he said, “He was very fast. He learned from everybody, he had a very open mind. Bruce never believed in only one style, or one style is the best, he felt that there were so many ‘best’ of everything."

"He said that everything had strengths and weaknesses and what he wanted to do was find the strengths and use them”.
- Chuck Norris

Muhammad Ali & Mike Tyson..
Two Legends of Heavyweight Boxing,
Albiet Two very different Styles..
They shared the same One Love for Boxing!

When people talk about great boxers, Muhammad Ali and Mike Tyson always seem to top the list in peoples minds of iconic boxing legends, particularly in the heavyweight championship boxing division.

Its true to.say, that these two icons gave us unforgettable moments, but in quite different ways!

Ali, with his poetic trash talk, dazzling footwork, and “float like a butterfly, sting like a bee” style, was a showman who could dance around the ring and beat his opponents. With iconic fights such as Rumble in The Jungle, when facing one of the other boxing legends, and arguably hardest hitting boxers ever.. Goerge Foreman. Where Ali used his infamous 'rope-a-dope' tactic.

Tyson, on the other hand, was a force of nature.. a vicious puncher with a “peek-a-boo” style, known for his explosive knockout punches and incredible power. With many of his victories coming by way of knockout, 44 in total of his 50 overall victories in the ring.

What we can say is, these two men may of been two very different characters, but both left us with epic memories and countless fight nights we will likely never forget.

In the ancient city of Edo, Toussaint, the Black Samurai, rises from a life of slavery to become a symbol of justice.

Stranded in Japan, he learns the ways of the samurai under a local daimyo. When marauders threaten the village of Aomori, Toussaint offers them a chance for redemption instead of violence.

His wisdom transforms enemies into allies, spreading his legend of courage and change across two worlds, forever intertwined by fate.
