#112 How to Choose a Teacher

This topic comes from an essay that Bruce Lee wrote about how to choose a martial arts instructor, but the advice can be applied in general to mentors, teachers, or guides. “I sincerely give this advice to all who are about to take up martial arts. Believe only half of what you see and definitely nothing that you hear. Before you take any lessons from any instructor, find out clearly from him what his method is and politely request that he demonstrate to you how some techniques operate. Use your common sense and if he convinces you, then, by all means go ahead.” Full notes at <a href="https://www.brucelee.com/podcast/">BruceLee.com/podcast</a> Help support the Bruce Lee Podcast and <a href="https://shop.brucelee.com/collections/podcast-bundle">check out our Podcast Bundle on the Bruce Lee Store!</a> Follow us @Brucelee &amp; write us at <a href="mailto:hello@brucelee.com">hello@brucelee.com</a>
