Summary: Eye Opening
Review: This book should be required reading for everyone who thinks that 15 years of doing kata is the best way to learn self defense or that standing in a horse stance punching the air builds speed and power. I am involved with a classical style, but after reading this book I cannot motivate my self to train there. I feel like it is a waste of my time and money.The book is a collection of notes and drawings that were assembled afters Lee's death. It reads like several hundred paragraphs instead of a book, but it is still good. Lee includes alot of philosophy and Buddist ideas in the book, it's not all techniques.

Summary: The REAL review
Review: Bruce Lee was more than in innovative martial artist, as described by millions. His teachings were not intended to augment induvidual styles; many people make themselves believe that because to understand his teachings is to realize that many lifetimes of training are useless. Bruce Lee understood that it was necessary to do more than "cross-train" martial arts; he realized that all styles are in fact POINTLESS. His teachings instead describe how to truly train; he teaches that "when one has no form, one can assume any form," and likewise with styles. All who train their whole lives away in classical forms are in truth limiting themselves by those forms. The truth is to truly expand beyond the borders of traditional martial arts and instead treat it like a living being, capable of adapting entirely to the current environment. As I have been training under this "formlessness" my entire fighting career, I know that the teachings beginning in this book are true and good. This book is not intended as another "ultimate fighting manual," but a beginnin; that is, a way to begin a true understanding of the basic martial arts: pure combat.

Summary: Library Essential
Review: Tao of Jeet Kune Do could best be described as a training diary for the martial arts. It does not represent a style of martial art, rather it defines a concept within the martial arts. Lee combines his knowledge of the fighting arts and physical training methods with his philosophy of "using what will work for you." This book does not just explain basic techniques, it also explains how to best use these techniques when confronted with a hostile situation. Basic techniques, training methods, strategy and philosophy all in one book. Quite a feat for such a young author. If you are truly interested in improving yourself through study of the martial arts, then you should consider adding this book to your martial arts library. Other books to consider are "The Art of War" by Sun Tzu and "Karate-Do Nyumon" by Gichin Funakoshi. These books are considered basic reading since they discuss strategy and history of the martial arts. There are no limits except those we place on ourselves.

Summary: 2 to 3 stars at best
Review: Ok, I've been studying martial arts for almost 11 years now, and I've been fighting, amateur, semi-professionally and some pro fights for the last 4 years. I've read Lee's book and was very disappointed by it. From all the reviews I'd heard and read, I thought it would be truly great. I was very surprised to read it, then I did a little digging and discovered a lot of stuff I didn't know before. The book is heavily influenced by Lee's degree in philosophy, in fact, it reads like a philo book I had in college, most of it is from text books on the subject. The actual martial arts techniques in it are very simple, some VERY basic boxing tech's, and some of the most simple tech's from various styles. Nothing impressive to any one with any real martial arts training. What set this book apart from others when it came out was that it was the first book on actively cross-training styles. LEe wasn't the first one to do this, in fact almost all of the "original" or "classical" styles Lee didn't like were and are a combination of other styles. Their founders crosstrained and melded together. however, they did this over a period of years of training in each style, Lee spent much much less time getting techniques from individual styles Overall, this book can be summed up like this : Lee tells you to study different styles, taking what you like and what you can get to work, ignore the rest and makeyour own unique martial art that works best for you. Pretty simple.

Summary: Great Book written by the legend
Review: Once I picked up this book, I couldn't put it down. Bruce Lee's philosophy and method of training is one of the best. The book helps you understand the art of Jeet Kune Do and the martial artist philosophy as well. Bruce explains how important it is to control your opponent and explains the techniques on how to do it, by proper timing, speed and technique. It is a must have in any martial artist's personal library.

Summary: Tao of Jeet Kune Do
Review: Bruce Lee's Tao of Jeet Kune Do is a testament to both Bruce Lee's open mindedness as a martial artist, and his wisdom, in forging such a concept of Jeet Kune Do is a time when few Westerners had ever heard of, much less knew, anything about the martial arts in any serious form. Tao of Jeet Kune Do is essentially the Bible of the contemporary martial artist, and will live on as being truly on of the greatest martial arts philosophies of all time.

Summary: THE FORMLESS FORM
Review: The book is the mental bible of martial arts with a lot of technique added. For the people that are commenting about Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and JKD you truly don't understand the book. I suggest you read it again. TO FIND WHAT IS USEFUL! Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is great however there is now JEET KUNE DO GROUNDFIGHTING. So Jeet Kune Do students will be well equipped on the ground. Whatever you find useful, whether it is Brazilian Jiu Jitsu or any technique from any art. This book is the pathway to success. The Book Jeet Kune Do, A New Era, Ground fighting and counters to Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is also available on Amazon.com

Summary: This book has the attention of the martial-arts scene..
Review: For people, who thought that Bruce Lee (Jun Fan) was just an actor...should get this book. For people who think that Jeet Kune Do is a wop-sokkie kung-fu movie-stuff should get this book. Wing-Chun men who thinks that Jeet Kune Do is a worthless system should get this book. Just get this book, but remember you must empty your cup otherwise Lee can't fill your cup with his tea. Read it, but don't think ..feel.....
