Ok, imagine you are about to be thrown onto a desert island in the middle of nowhere. You are allowed to choose the three following things:
a ) One martial arts book
b ) One piece of training equipment
c ) Your favourite MA quote.
What would you take??

a) Would have to be 'The Tao of Jeet Kune Do' which was printed posthumously, in Bruce Lees name. It's mostly a collection of his thoughts and drawings, plagiarised or otherwise, but it's incredibly thought provoking on many levels.
b) A Tanto (you didn't mention being allowed basic survival gear, and a good knife is invaluable)
c) "Shut up, and get on with it"

What video would you choose then? Maybe a TV will get washed up onto the shore at some point...

Sad maybe, but "Enter the Dragon".
Not that it stands up to any critique, but I love it every time I see it, on many levels.
