This is the best Martial Arts book I have ever read. It explains things well, and shows martial arts on a level that can be understood by anyone. A great book!Book Review: Not as hopefull as it appears
Summary: 2 Stars
Maybe is my knowlegde of the English Language or the Book isn't really that good. I have spent 3 months in a hospital last year after I've been attacked by GRACIE JIU JITSU students in my own School. After I have recovered myself from the encounter I decided start training Martial Arts hardly and what would be better than learning JKD - I throught -. Man, how could I've been so blind. After training for 7 months and a half, those guys challenged me again, I fought and I got myself pretty hurt again. I sold this book (and the 5 other ones: 4 BRUCE LEE'S FIGHTING METHOD and CHINESE GUNG FU.) I don't know what to think except that fact that I think what made of Lee the Greatest Martial Artist in the World was the fact that he was strong (full of muscles, while I'm pretty thin), that way he could make his opponents get scarry, afraid or maybe I'm such a weak looser who not even knows how to use the mind anymore in high school.Book Review: NOT AS GOOD AS IT LOOKS LIKE

I don't know what's the big problem me or the books isn't really that good. I've spent 3 months inside a hospital after I was attacked by GRACIE JIU JITSU students in my own school. After I have recovered myself I decided to learn Martial Arts and I thought - What would be better than learning JKD, Lee's Art -. I practiced by 7 months and then those guys wanted to fight with me again. I got pretty hurt again. I got so angry and upset that I sold this BOOKS (and 4 others LEE'S FIGHTING METHOD plus CHINESE GUNG FU). I realized that these things of Martial Arts are just cheap talk specially when talking about LEE !!!Book Review: THE book for serious martial artists
Summary: 5 Stars
If you've practiced the martial arts for a few years, this is the book you need to improve. It lays down fundamental principals which EVERY TRUE MARTIAL ARTIST MUST FOLLOW. Not for undisciplined posers like GRACIE JIU JUTSU fanatics.Book Review: Deep, intelligent, interesting
Summary: 5 Stars
Even though this book is very philosophical, if you're reading ToJKD just to learn the mystical arts of butt-kicking, you'll still come away with a strong education. Lee's art is about truly understanding fighting, not about the superficial stuff that works when your opponent is standing still. He is obviously very passionate; the book is an attempt to convey how he thinks about the Art. His passion is in fighting itself; he goes through systems without particular preference, searching through the useless parts to find the things he can learn from. In fact, Lee agonized about whether or not he should write this book, since he was afraid that people would think JKD is some formal system instead of a way of thinking. Sadly, this was supposed to be a seven-volume masterpiece where he dissects all the nuances of fighting, but his early death left only enough material for this single book. Still, this perhaps was the best compromise with Lee's wishes, since ToJKD contains the fundamental kernel of his thinking.
