Be Like Water

When Ip Man threw the water at Bruce Lee, it was a hint at Lee's famous quote "Be Like Water". It teaches Lee to be adaptable, and not to just try and kick the water, but the adaptability dodging and not being rash and stubborn. Lee later developed Jeet Kune Do, which focuses on adaptability.
