Don't think. Feel!
Martial artists are the artists who fight. Bards are the artists who tell or sing. Painters are the artists who paint; photographers, take photographs; composers, compose; & singers, sing. Anyone who does or makes something artistic is an artist. To all the artists, feeling is more necessary than thinking. At the opening scene of Enter the Dragon, a 1973 Bruce Lee movie, Master Bruce Lee trains his apprentice in the woods of Shaolin Monastery:
Master: Kick me.
--- Bruce Lee in Enter the Dragon (1973)

Master: (parries it) What was that? An Exhibition? We need emotional content. Try again!
Apprentice: (kicks him)
Master: (parries it) I said emotional content. Not anger. Now, try again! Whip me!
Apprentice: (kicks him twice)
Master: (parries them & praises his last kick) That’s it! How did it feel to you?
Apprentice: Let me think.
Master: (slaps his head) Don’t think. Feel!
拳法家は闘う芸術家である。詩人は語り歌う芸術家である。画家は絵をかく、写真家は写真を取る、作曲家は作曲する、歌手は歌う芸術家である。芸術的なことをする人や芸術的なものを作る人は芸時家である。芸術家にとっては、感じることは考えることよりも必要なものである。一九七三年のブルース・リーの映画『燃えよドラゴン』のオープニングシーンで、ブルース・リーは少林寺の森の中で弟子に稽古をつける。
師匠: わたしに蹴りを入れろ。
弟子: (蹴る)
師匠: (かわす) なんだそれは? 見世物か? 気合を入れろ。もう一回。
弟子: (蹴る)
師匠: (かわす) わたしは気合を入れろと言ったのだ。怒りではない。もう一回やってみろ。わたしを打ちのめせ。
弟子: (二回ほど蹴る)
師匠: (かわして、最後の蹴りを褒める) それだ! どんな感じだった?
弟子: ええと。
師匠: (頭をぴしゃりと打つ) 考えるな。感じるんだ。
