Book Reviews of Tao of Jeet Kune Do
Book Review: A life-altering book
Summary: 5 Stars
Bruce Lee's Tao of Jeet Kune Do has affected me personally , in a way that not only includes the martial arts but how I live my life. His unique brand of philosophy which combines elements of Taoism ,Zen , Buddism , Confucianism and various other philosophies has given my insight and inner calm during times of stress or depression by giving me a clearer view of my own life. His philosophy of looking at things unclouded by personal preference opened my mind. I have read the book countless times to the point where the book cover has worn off. A great book which has philosophies that can be applied to all avenues of life.Book Review: A man way ahead of his time.
Summary: 5 Stars
This collection of Bruce Lee's writings on Jeet Kune Do, is just fantastic. Any student of any martial art should have a copy of this in their library.
The theories illustrated here are so advanced that I probably only really understand 50 percent of the book. Anybody looking for a quick fix book on fighting theory is going to have to look elsewhere. This book is not just a guide to a style, but also a total indepth philosophy of FIGHTING.
Great stuff!
Book Review: A masterpiece
Summary: 5 Stars
Most readers already know that Bruce Lee was an innovative, highly accomplished martial artist who happened to be a famous actor as well. This book was, in large part, self therapeutic, written to pass along his philosophy and techniques while he recovered from a serious back injury. It truly captures the spirit of his art form, Jeet Kune Do. The text begins philosophically, covering Zen and the facets of Jeet Kune Do, then moves into basics such as warm-ups and basic postures, followed by more depth on the kicking, striking, and grappling aspects of the art.
Whether you are a practitioner of Jeet Kun Do or not, there are large sections on attacks, feints, parries, distance, footwork, and evasiveness, all topics that transcend any individual art form. The concepts of power, endurance, balance, speed, timing, and attitude are universal as well. It is an interesting blend of philosophy and practicality that can benefit most any martial practitioner. Though it was originally published more than 30 years ago, it remains as relevant and useful today as it was at its inception. Your martial arts library is simply not complete without it.
