Summary: JEET KUNE DO -- THE WAY IT WAS MEANT TO BE PRESENTED
Review: "JEET KUNE DO: Bruce Lee's Commentaries on the Martial Way" is THE definitive book on Bruce Lee's martial art. John Little has done a superlative job of locating, formatting, editing and presenting Bruce Lee's writings in a manner that is comprehensible, informative and inspiring. In many ways this book far surpasses "The Tao of Jeet Kune Do" which, in comparison, looks to be so many of Bruce's notes simply tossed into a stew. This book presents Bruce Lee's writings and sketches on his art of Jeet Kune Do in an organized and comprehensive manner -- much like Bruce Lee presented it himself when he created his art in 1967. This book is, quite simply, the best book on Jeet Kune Do ever written. But then, that shouldn't be suprising -- it was written by Bruce Lee.

Summary: Return of the Dragon
Review: Commentaries of Bruce Lee is one of the most comprehensive collections of quotes, diagrams, and theories on the market today. Integration of Jeet Kune Do in Movies adds an element of excitement, to the book. I found the book very well organized. The five elements of Jeet Kune Do were describe in comprehesive detail. Narrative was easy to read supported by a series of thoughts, techniques, and insights that kept my attention for hours. One of the best Martial Art Books, I've read this year.

Summary: Yes!!!!
Review: Finally a book that are Bruce Lee's own words and thoughts on JKD. Nothing filtered here. It is FAR SUPERIOR to the TAO. Although the TAO makes a great complement to this for the more serious student. It's one incredible book and by far one of my favorites I own. I HIGHLY RECOMEND this book to anyone involved in the fighting arts regardless of style. This shows what a true genius and how far ahead of his time he was.

Summary: Great insight on Lee's art of Jeet Kune Do
Review: Great book on Lee's martial art of Jeet Kune Do (JKD). The book has drawings that were taken from his original notes as well as his thoughts, theories, fighting strategies, excercises, etc. Similar to "The Tao Of Jeet Kune Do", this book is really like a good look into Lee's own personal notes.

Summary: A great read
Review: I don't like reading too much, but I read this over and over. Either get this one or the Tao of Jeet Kune Do. There is much overlap, and you can probably do almost as well with one or the other. The difference is that Tao of JKD is written by Lee, and this was compiled from Lee's notes. In addition I recommend Art of Expressing the Human Body, which I think is volume 4 in this series. While this book gives you the techniques themselves, The Art of Expressing... tells you how to train your strength and power and speed, etc. in order to make the techniques more effective.

Summary: it's a good book but a confusing read.
Review: I found this book to contain decent information regarding Bruce's method(s) for effective fighting. The thoughts contained are not complete, often they resemble simple lists or phrases without thurough explanation. The way in which this book is organized is very similar to the Tao of Jeet Kune Do, by Bruce himself. It sould be stated that the information in this book is decent information; it just needs to be weeded out. Plan on spending a little more time studying this book than you would on a "typical" martial arts book.

Summary: Absolutely Outstanding!
Review: I picked up this book with extremely high expectations. I was not disappointed in any way whatsoever. To say the least, I was impressed. John Little has shown great respect for Bruce Lee in presenting his material in just the way that Lee would of wanted it.Lee didn't want any of his teachings to be the only way to do it. He wanted to teach the student the concepts behind it and then allow him to create something that follows those concepts. Little did this perfectly in the way that he left the material vague so that the reader must study and truly understand the intracicies in it. I have had this book for about 2 years now. The cover has raggedy edges, and the center is splitting open. I still don't think I have gotten out of it all that I can.
