Bruce Lee submits an article submission and explains the symbolism of the seal of the Jun Gung Fu Institute to Bill Evans of Black Belt magazine, which "is the symbol of Yin and Yang in which the Yin & Yang (black (passive) & white (active)) are two interlocking halves of one WHOLE, each containing within its confines the qualities of its complementaries (not opposite!). Instead of [being] mutually exclusive, they are mutually dependent and are a function of each other. When I say 'the heat makes me perspire,' the heat and perspiring are just 'one' process as they are co-existent and one could not exist for the other. Just as an object needs a subject, the person in attack is not is not taking an independent position but is acting as an assistant. After all, you need your opponent to complete the whole." Offering another example, Lee observes that a person riding a bicycle cannot ride by pushing down on both pedals at once, or "not pump on them at all. In order to move forward he has to pump on one pedal and release the other," which requires a "'oneness' of pumping and releasing, and vice versa, each being the cause of the other." He concludes noting that "if gung fu is extraordinary, it is because of the fact that it is nothing at all special--it is simply the direct expression of one's feeling with the minimum of lines and energy. The closer to the true Way, the less wastage of expression there is." In closing, Lee apologizes for his "incoherence and poor penmanship." Published in Bruce Lee, Letters from the Dragon: Correspondence 1958-1973. John Little, ed. Tokyo: Tuttle Publishing, 1988, 39-40.
[With:] LEE, Bruce. Typed letter signed in type ("Bruce Lee") above his stamped woodblock signature to Bill Evans, n.p., 21 December 1964. One page, 280 x 207mm. with a marginal note on one page presumed to be in the hand of editor Bill Evans. Lee encloses the article he had promised (in the form of 12 pages of photocopies including text and diagrams, and requesting that "I want the article unaltered and be published as it is. If an alternation if absolutely necessary please consult me." [Also With:] the aforementioned 12 pages of photocopies.
Evans apparently submitted the article--unaltered--to his editor, who in turn thought that the piece was so poorly written, that it could not be published and threw it away. Evans recovered it from there, and in time, developed a friendship with Lee--though he never told him what his editor had said of Lee's article. Provenance: Bill Evans – by descent to the consignor.
