Returning to the Root

Date:

“Attain to utmost Emptiness.
Cling single-heartedly to interior peace.
While all things are stirring together,
I only contemplate the Return.
For flourishing as they do,
Each of them will return to its root.
To return to the root is to find peace.
To find peace is to fulfill one's destiny.
To fulfill one's destiny is to be constant.
To know the Constant is called Insight.” - 

A quote from one of my favourite—and perhaps the most important—books: the Tao Teh Ching by Lao Tzu, written thousands of years ago. These words describe exactly what InFi has always meant to me. When I first named it, I thought I was shaping my own individual movement and self-defence. But beneath that, I was really searching for something much deeper: stability and my roots. I would always say to disturbances, “leave me in peace.”


Life never stops stirring. In my own story, there have been struggles, victories, losses, miracles, betrayals, and restless searching. Many times I lost my way. But each time I returned to the base of my individual fighting, I found peace. And I discovered the same truth again and again: that peace was always there, waiting inside me, just under the surface.


For me now, InFi is no longer about fighting. It is about finding — individual finding. Finding the center when everything around me is loud. Finding the root that gives strength without force. Finding the peace that allows me to move forward without fear or distraction.


When I return to this root, I feel something open in front of me — something already written in the silence. My InFi is my way of touching that silence and bringing it to life, in movements, in words, spontaneously.


Returning to this root means returning to myself — returning to the source, to Ho King, to the Universe. That is why I still walk with InFi.

Individual styles behind traditional styles

non-traditional kick Creating our individual style is a natural process. Everyone develops their style automatically. This statement is general but can be applied to any specific field—martial arts, combat sports, and self-defence are no exceptions. People who practice fighting are constantly creating their own fighting styles. They are, consciously or unconsciously, the creators of their unique approach to combat. Whatever one is learning, only a part of it will truly be absorbed. Another part will be automatically rejected by the self. Moreover, every absorbed element is filtered through a person’s individuality. The evolving individual fighting style becomes distinct from the traditionally practiced style. In other words, by practicing conventional techniques, one is also developing an invisible, personal fighting style—what we can call the InFi style. For example, someone studying Wing Chun kung fu or Kyokushinkai karate is guided by teachers and improved within the framework of tr...

Bruce Lee paradox

Date:

Yesterday, I raised the question of whether Bruce Lee was right or wrong when he said, "I do not believe in styles." The basis of this question lies in the well-known fact that styles do exist and have continued to thrive ever since he made that statement in a 1971 interview. It seems that his claim has had little effect on the popularity of martial art styles, even though Bruce Lee remains the most famous, influential, and legendary martial artist of all time. Millions of Bruce Lee fans and followers continue to practice one or more traditional martial art styles. In fact, many beginners—initially inspired by Bruce Lee—end up learning and devoting themselves to traditional styles. As a result, a certain contradiction becomes apparent, and the question is entirely justifiable. Now, I’d like to share my friend Milagros’ great response to that question: “The Dragon is right; people should not rely on style. People try to keep an open mind—I believe this is what the Dragon wan...
