Tillett, family of martial arts is always love martial arts cinema deep into it as a matter of fact, of course it started with Bruce Lee Jackie Chan and the more we got into it the deeper we got into Hong Kong Cinema. When I was a kid, I watched David Carradine‘s kung fu which many of us know the story of Bruce Lee’s connection to it. I always loved how Brandon Lee was involved in the end kind of restitution I guess but flash forward to current. The Lee family has been true to Bruce’s dreams and pushed out this amazing show warrior.

I wish we could see more of it. I always love this scene

Bruce Lee’s famous reminder to “be formless, shapeless… like water” is more than a martial arts lesson. It’s a way of moving through the world. Water adapts to whatever it touches — a cup, a bottle, a teapot — without losing its nature. It flows when the path is open and crashes when force is required. That balance between softness and strength is something every martial artist learns, but it’s just as important outside the dojo.

Life rarely gives us perfect conditions. Jobs change, relationships shift, plans fall apart, and new opportunities appear out of nowhere. When we stay rigid, we break. When we stay fluid, we adjust, redirect, and keep moving. Water doesn’t panic when the terrain changes — it simply finds another way forward.

That’s the heart of this philosophy for us. Whether we’re training, raising a family, building a brand, or navigating everyday challenges, we try to stay adaptable, steady, and ready to shift when life demands it. Flow when you can. Crash when you must. And stay true to who you are, no matter the shape the moment requires.

Be water, my friend.

The glory days of training. From 19 years old until my mid 30s I trained a lot. I often lifted weights in the morning, I ran everywhere (didn’t have a car until my 3rd year of college), I would usually meet Sifu Rick Faye and train in the afternoon, I was wrestling, would run to the Kali Group and train at night. I started working at Target in 1985 and got to functionalize my training. We did Thai Pads and/or Focus Mitts, Sumbrada, Hubud/Chi Sao… everyday, we did Glove Drills and Sparring, worked Trapping, Grappling, Knife Sparring/Tapping… I shadow boxed, hit the heavy bag, worked the wooden dummy, hit the tired with sticks and bats… 6-8 hours of training a day, except the days I was working at Target (then I got to train and test what worked against people fighting back). I started training a lot with David Leitch in 1989. We added Krabi Krabong, created demos, started fighting Muay Thai, Kickboxing, and Boxing in the early 90’s, fought shoot in 94… training was a way of life and I lived it hard! #glorydays #training #filipinomartialarts #muaythai #junfangungfu #jkd #grappling #martialartslife #dowhatyoulove #lovewhatyoudo #wrestling @theacademymn @mnkaligroup @worldthaiboxingassociation @cswassociation 02/26/2025
