Bruce Lee Jeet Kune Do is the iconic book presenting the martial art
created by Bruce Lee as explained in the master's own words.
In 1970, Bruce Lee suffered a back injury that confined him to bed.
Rather than allowing this to slow his growth as a martial artist, he
read feverishly on Eastern philosophy and Western psychology and self
help books, constructing his own views on the totality of combat and
life. It was during this time that Lee wrote 7 volumes containing his
thoughts, ideas, opinions, and research into the art of unarmed combat,
and how it applies to the everyday life. Some of this material was
posthumously published in 1975, but much more existed.
This landmark book serves as a more complete presentation of Bruce Lee's
notes on his art of Jeet Kune Do. The development of his unique martial
art form, its principles, core techniques, and lesson plans are
presented here in Lee's own words. It also features Lee's illustrative
sketches and his remarkable treatise on the nature of combat, success
through martial arts, and the importance of a positive mental attitude
in training. In addition, there are a series of "Questions Every Martial
Artist Must Ask Himself," that Lee posed to himself and intended to
explore as part of his own development, but never lived to complete.
Jeet Kune Do: A Comprehensive Guide to Bruce Lee's Martial Way is a
book every Bruce Lee fan must have.
