 - Interesting but Jumbled Insights To Bruce LeeThis book was never actually written by Bruce for book form. This is a compilation of his notes and drawings. While this creates somewhat of a jumbled reading experience, Tao of Jeet Kune Do is still an interesting insight to how progressive Bruce Lee was for his time. What he created, which was carried on by Joe Lewis in the ring, was a practical, functional method of fighting that inspires martial artists to this day. Rating:  - Be Like Water?Bruce Lee, got his foundation in Wing Chun Kung Fu. When you read this book, don't misunderstand Bruce Lee's philosophy: he is offering you concepts. The concept of throwing out everything in an art that you can't use and adding what you think is useful often leaves a watered down version each succeeding generation of new students depending upon what their teachers think useless. Some- how I don't think that was Bruce Lee's intention or meaning! The individual can however, develop his or her own repitoire by training in more than just one style, which was considered disloyal, when Bruce Lee was alive. Bruce Lee, wasn't about style he was about concepts, but don't forget he already got his foundation from Wing Chun, so pick an art to stay with and develop your foundation as you grow in the martial arts. Buy this and read it several times. Train hard and have fun! Guro Dennis Servaes Rating:  - A true Martial Arts geniusThis is the book of all books concerning martial arts. The concepts once fully grasped and applied can take the novice martial artist and improve them dramiatically regardless of what style they study. Rating: - The truest treatise on the philosophy of JKD...This is a good book for understanding the physical and philosophical ideals of Bruce Lee's Jeet Kune Do. Rating: - Real FightingThis book is a great look at training and gives you a complete view of combat in all its ranges Bruce was an ultimate fighter before Ultimate fighting was a thought. I also advise anyone whoe has read this book to pick up Revelations of a Warrior it is light an up date to real fighting from a real street soldier.
