On reacting to the opponent
       
The highest technique is to have no technique.
My technique is a result of your technique; my movement is a result of your movement.
A good JKD man does not oppose force or give way completely.
He is pliable as a spring; he is the complement and not the opposition to his opponent’s strength.
He has no technique; he makes his opponent's technique his technique. He has no design; he makes opportunity his design.
One should not respond to circumstance with artificial and "wooden" prearrangement.
Your action should be like the immediacy of a shadow adapting to its moving object.
Your task is simply to complete the other half of the oneness spontaneously.
In combat, spontaneity rules; rote performance of technique perishes.
