Kickin' Ass Like Bruce Lee

I recently learned of an ancient form of exercise called Isometrics.  These isolated movements are used for strength training and rehabilitation.  Bruce Lee, The Little Dragon used this method when he suffered from a debilitating back injury, he was told he most likely would not walk again without assistance.  Well, like water, Lee rose to levels of mental and physical strength that gained him full recovery and then some.  I will be learning as much as I can about Isometrics and Bruce Lee.  I have always loved him, and now I flow to him.
