In the months leading up to his death, Bruce Lee was working on
this definitive study of the Chinese martial arts--collectively
known as Kung Fu or Gung Fu. This book has now been edited and is
published here for the first time in its entirety. Bruce Lee
revolutionized the practice of martial arts and brought them into
the modern world--by promoting the idea that students have the
right to pick and choose those techniques and training regimens
which suit their personal needs and fighting styles. He developed a
new method of his own called Jeet Kune Do--combining many elements
from different masters and different traditions. This was
considered heretical at the time within martial arts circles, where
one was expected to study with only a single master--and Lee was
the first martial artist to attempt this. Today he is revered as
the "father" of many martial arts practices around the
world--including Mixed Martial Arts. In addition to presenting the
fundamental techniques, mindset and training methods of traditional
Chinese martial arts, this martial art treatise explores such
esoteric topics as Taoism and Zen as applied to Gung Fu, Eastern
and Western fitness regimens and self-defense techniques. Also
included is a Gung Fu "scrapbook" of Bruce Lee's anecdotes
regarding the history and traditions of the martial arts of China.
After Lee's death, his manuscript was completed and edited by
martial arts expert John Little in cooperation with the Bruce Lee
Estate. This book features an introduction by his wife, Linda Lee
Cadwell and a foreword from his close friend and student, Taky
Kimura. This Bruce Lee Book is part of the Bruce Lee Library which
also features: Bruce Lee: Striking Thoughts Bruce Lee: The
Celebrated Life of the Golden Dragon Bruce Lee: Artist of Life
Bruce Lee: Letters of the Dragon Bruce Lee: The Art of Expressing
the Human Body Bruce Lee: Jeet Kune Do
