Bruce Lee and the Power of One Brushstroke

Bruce Lee is known worldwide as a martial artist and philosopher, but fewer people know that he also practiced calligraphy. For Bruce Lee, calligraphy was not about beautiful writing—it was about expressing energy, speed, and intention in a single movement.
He believed that a brushstroke, like a punch, should be direct and free from hesitation. Once the movement begins, there is no correction. This idea reflects the same mindset found in Japanese calligraphy: total focus in the present moment. Bruce Lee often spoke about simplicity, flow, and removing what is unnecessary—principles that are deeply connected to the way calligraphy is practiced.
