Finding a Wei Around - 1

True martial arts masters understand wu wei as "spontaneous action" or "effortless flow". You might know that Bruce Lee founded Jeet Kune Do, a style that, like the man himself, was imbued with an emphasis on speed and power. But you probably didn't know that he also founded Wu Wei Gung Fu, a fighting art that expressed his ultimate philosophy: "Learn technique. Practice technique. Forget technique." At the highest level of this discipline (as well as other martial arts), the warrior becomes one with the flow of reality around him. In that state of oneness, he is able to act without the necessity of volition. To the bystanders, he doesn't seem to do much, and yet he delivers the exact minimum of impact at the exact right time to accomplish what needs to be done and not one iota more.
