Tim and Steve discuss Cobra Kai — the very popular TV series based on The Karate Kid films. Tim brings up philosophies of two martial arts movie icons — Mr Miyagi and Bruce Lee.

Incidentally, it was on this date — October 1st — back in 1893 that Yip Man was born. It was while training under Yip Man and in Wing Chun, that Bruce Lee's philosophy began developing. When punching water, Bruce noticed that no matter how hard he struck, the water did not suffer damage. The nature of water is to flow and adapt to its surroundings. Lee decided he wanted to "be like water." Water can be soft and it can reshape itself; but it can also be very powerful when faced with resistance. People need a balance of both to live life to the fullest.

  • When in an adversarial situation, take the path of least resistance and "flow" with it

  • Life is hard and it's not fair — learn when and how to work against resistance in order to grow

“Wax on, wax off.” — Mr Miyagi

“Be water, my friend.” — Bruce Lee
