Bruce Lee book Tao of Jeet Kune Do
Source: Tao of Jeet Kune Do (1975), p. 12 <!-- Ohara Publications (July 1993) -->
Context: Jeet Kune Do favors formlessness so that it can assume all forms and since Jeet Kune Do has no style, it can fit in with all styles. As a result, Jeet Kune Do utilizes all ways and is bound by none and, likewise, uses any techniques which serve its end.
