“People don’t get the kind of speed and power that is required in effective Gung Fu from just doing techniques.  Bruce’s power was the result of his body development which he pushed to such a high level that he was approaching maximum human tolerances…The hard work and dedication that this kind of effort requires prevents most people from becoming good martial artists…Many people who practice Gung Fu think there is something  magical in the movements of the forms that will turn them into heavy punchers and kickers.  The best that any style can give you is a loose structure and guidelines which can result in the smooth application of the movements involved in a particular system.  If your desire is to do a high speed dance, then the practice of forms will do it for you.  If, on the other hand, you desire blinding fast movements, with powerful kicks and punches you must go far beyond the methods that are taught in formal classes.”
