Product Description
Vividly illustrating the techniques of a legendary innovator, this definitive examination explains how to survive attacks on the street, increase training awareness, and develop body movements. Originally compiled as a four-volume series, this revised edition breathes new life into a classic work with digitally-enhanced photography of jeet kune do founder Bruce Lee in his prime, a new chapter by former Lee student Ted Wong, and an introduction by Shannon Lee. This renowned compendium once again reclaims its place as an integral part of the Lee canon and a necessary addition for collectors and martial arts enthusiasts alike.

Great Book, Worth Buying. December 27, 2008

Very well done! December 10, 2008

Although I own the four individual paperbacks that comprise the majority of this single hardback edition, I am glad I spent the money on this anyway. The book is beautifully done. I can tell the editors put a lot of effort into getting the text and pictures in a useful order. The pictures are clearer as well as easier to follow and they match up nicely with the text. What I found most refreshing about this text, as opposed to many Jeet Kune Do books being released lately, is the fact that the whole BLEF vs. Inosanto feud is left out! This had to be done considering Dan Inosanto and Ted Wong appear in the book numerous times, but the fact that it isn't in the introduction by Shannon Lee is a nice touch. All-in-all, this book is well worth the money. It is more understandable and easier to follow than the more popular Tao of Jeet Kune Do and the new format is simply beautiful. Do yourself a favor and buy it.

I remember buying these four volume paperback sets in the late 70's. Back then Bruce Lee was my favorite martial artists (with Bill Wallace and Benny Urquidez immediately following). I wanted to fight like Bruce, kia like Bruce, and be a hero like Bruce.
Well, I am not really going to critique this book as a martial arts instruction text, except to briefly note, that while at first glance it may appear to be a primer, there is more written material here then the average primer, which are often nothing more than picture books. Yet, there are some faults, but it must be remembered the time it was written and photographed (1966-1967). It was a huge step-up from Bruce's first book on Gung Fu. Here Bruce is concerned with the application of technique more then technique itself.
Essential topics like power and speed training are discussed (a way ahead of its time). Topics such as speed are re-addressed in other chapters, showing the synthesis of the material presented. Unlike most primers, many definitions of speed are presented and tactics are discussed.
The self-defense volume is the weakness. Some techniques are tried and true, but others are not. There is a forward from Bruce's daughter, Sharon Lee and an introduction by co-author and Black Belt Magazine founder, M. Uyehara.
Functionally, this book should outlast the paperback versions. The binding appears to be terrific. The hard cover should provide a sturdy book for use, travel, and overuse. Like Shawn has noted, the page sizes is larger than its paperback predecessors, making for larger print and photos, in addition to an all around better lay-out.
If you were or are a Bruce Lee fan, then get this book. If not, there is still much to appreciate and learn from and it fits well in any martial artist's library.
