Summary: An easy to understand guide to martial art philosophy.
Review: Bruce Lee's philosophy shines in this book. Mr. Little has done the world of philosophy a big favor by compiling Bruce Lee's thoughts in this volume. A great martial artist makes philosophy key to every movement in his or her art, and Bruce Lee is able to clearly lay the foundation for understanding kung-fu principles. This is a must for any martial arts library!

Summary: Interesting
Review: Fame brings out jaleousy in some people. Bruce Lee was one of the greatest martial art authority and expert known to the world. Anyone with at least some basic spiritual understanding of chinese Kung Fu could just not write with total disrespect about Lee no matter what he/she has to say. In fact the reviewer below despite his belief of the contrary and maybe years of training betrays in his own words his own frustration and a total lack of measure. He sadly belongs with the novices.
One thing indeniable about Bruce Lee is that he got something right and beware if you only look at the surface you might simply miss it. Real skills lie deep beneath the surface. I recommend reading this book

Summary: It's amazing...
Review: how even toilet paper with Bruce Lee's name on it would sell to some people. Take this book for example. In your everyday life, would you consider a 24 y/o an "authority" on anything? Nooooo -so why consider one an authority on a 4000 y/o art? Because he had great pecs and abs and was lucky enough to die in his early thirties, right? The book contains nothing (I repeat NOTHING) that can't be found in "Tao Te Ching", so if you want to read real Taoism philosophy go get that. In TTOGF, Bruce displays his understanding (or lack thereof) of the aforementioned "Tao Te Ching", Chinese martial arts, the life, the universe and everything in the half-a$$ed way normally associated with youngsters trying to show off their "deep understanding" of profound matters. Pix are scarse and are the ones usually recycled in the other books of the series, although the, ahem, author's "Gung Fu Scrapbook" at the last pages, has to be seen to be believed. He should had stuck with cha-cha. And, BTW, if you really, really have to buy a book on the MA, consider something written by a real martial artist e.g. Donn F. Draeger. Buying a book on MA written by Bruce Lee is like buying a book on archaeology written by Harrison Ford. Or, maybe more appropriate, Angelina Jolie. Sheesh...

Summary: Beware!!!
Review: If you are looking for a "how-to" book, go elsewhere. Bruce was never a big fan of those martial arts books that proposed you could learn the style just by reading. Bruce meant this as a guide to help all martial artists (not just wing chun practitioners) on their journey to self-enlightenment, and to that end it serves its purpose well. This man was a genius and an inspiration not only as a fighter, but as a human being as well.

Summary: Bruce Lee Tao of Gung Fu
Review: The book Bruce Lee the Tao of Gung Fu was a good book because Bruce Lee hiself teaches you how to protect yourself from dangerous people. Also the style is gung fu a weapon to becoming a great skill fighter. Bruce Lee is one of the best in teaching
When and where to srike a person that is trying to take you down. But Bruce Lee doesent want his learners to just be using the style on any body just use it when needed. Their is three types of Gung Fu you can learn but to do so you have to be very fucus to learn step by step. Reading this book told me alot I didnt know.
I recomend this book to anybody or everybody because this book was good it taught me stuff that I never knew befor. I now that if somebody read this book they will feel the same way as me. If you like book that teaches you things then I recomend that you just give this book a try beacuse Bruce hisself puts hard work in makeing the reader's relax and enjoy the book. So yes I would recomend this book once again.

Summary: The pre-JKD Bruce
Review: This book described his study of Kung Fu before it melted down into JKD. From a historical perspective, this is a very valuable book, because one can trace the root and development of JKD from traditional Kung Fu. I am especially surprised to see the section on set/form practice, which he abandoned completely later on. Bruce had a deep understanding of Kung Fu at a young age and he was way ahead of his time. I am glad that all of this information was preserved and made available to the public.

Summary: Great book either if you're new in martial arts or not
Review: This book from the martial arts' legend himself gives a broad view of martial arts basic principles as well as some insights on the oriental philosophy. Bruce Lee exposes his knowledge and experience accumulated throughout several years of practice and learning. A must if you are interested in martial arts.
