Dispute Resolution

When Bruce Lee was asked, in the famous scene from 'Enter the Dragon', "what's your style?" Lee responded "My style? You could call it the art of fighting, without fighting". "The art of fighting without fighting" says Parsons in disbelief and asks Bruce "show me some". Bruce Lee responded with "Alright" but says they need more room and suggests they should take the boat to the island. Lee lures Parsons into a boat and when Parsons gets in he pushes the boat away and lets it trail off behind the larger boat. Putting Parsons in the sinking boat stops him from bullying the workers on the larger boat. 

By putting Parsons in the sinking boat, Lee effectively stops him from bullying the workers on the larger boat.

The lesson from the Bruce Lee scene is that Lee defeats Parsons through strategy, without engaging in a protracted battle. He does not take the opportunity to show off his fighting skills; it goes without saying that he is the superior fighter. Instead, he remains focused on the mission and the goal: stopping Parsons from bullying the workers.
