 - The pre-JKD BruceThis book described his study of Kung Fu before it melted down into JKD. From a historical perspective, this is a very valuable book, because one can trace the root and development of JKD from traditional Kung Fu. I am especially surprised to see the section on set/form practice, which he abandoned completely later on. Bruce had a deep understanding of Kung Fu at a young age and he was way ahead of his time. I am glad that all of this information was preserved and made available to the public. Rating:  - Beware!!!If you are looking for a "how-to" book, go elsewhere. Bruce was never a big fan of those martial arts books that proposed you could learn the style just by reading. Bruce meant this as a guide to help all martial artists (not just wing chun practitioners) on their journey to self-enlightenment, and to that end it serves its purpose well. This man was a genius and an inspiration not only as a fighter, but as a human being as well. Rating: - The JKD PrimerWhat can you say about a book written by Bruce Lee. This one is great. It was the basis for the 'Tao of JKD'. Here he is talking about what he really knows, the way of Chinese martial Arts. This book covers the technical gung fu as well as the philosophy as seen through Mr. Lee's eyes. One of the all time greatest Martial Artist. The diagrams are in his own hand, with his own thoughts. So read his words himself, and get the info direct! You will not want to put this book down. And will read it, over and over again. Rating: - Great book either if you're new in martial arts or notThis book from the martial arts' legend himself gives a broad view of martial arts basic principles as well as some insights on the oriental philosophy. Bruce Lee exposes his knowledge and experience accumulated throughout several years of practice and learning. A must if you are interested in martial arts. Rating: - From a BeginnerIf anyone is just getting into any martial art, I reccomend this book mainly based on the fact that mentally you must know what your responsiblity is as a serious martial artist. You will save yourself a lot of time by reading this book and getting an understanding of your martial art and the proper training, mentally and physically, that is provided in this wonderful resource.
