Summary: Excellent Book!
Review: Excellent book that goes beyond the "Basic Training" book and goes into more detail about the basics and some advance techniques such as parrying and various kicks, also included are some common mistakes practitioners make and the proper way to correct them and execute the moves. As usual, there are lots of photographs to demonstrate the moves actually being done by Lee. Other books I'd recommend based on his fighting style would be the rest of this series, as well as "The Bruce Lee Library" series by John Little. The "Tao Of Jeet Kune Do" is also an excellent book that includes his own personal notes and thoughts about his fighting art.

Summary: Bruce still lives !!!
Review: I have been into Karate and I hold a brown belt in it. Recently I got myself involved with Jeet Kune Do. I find Bruce Lee's book the best, just like the master himself. It makes understanding this art easy and also teaches very good techniques for fighting. I believe that you can learn any art even with a good book which can be a very good guru. In that way this book will serve anyone as a good teacher who wishes to learn the way of the intercepting fist. A must for any martial art learner.

Summary: This book is AWESOME!
Review: I've trained in Ryukyu Kempo for quite a while. I have read many great martial arts books such as Pressure Point Fighting made easy by George Dillman. When I picked up this book by Bruce Lee I was utterly AMAZED, at the techniques and the new knowledge I have gained. The techniques taught in this book was NEVER taught at the DOJO that I've trained in. For instance this book teaches you to PARRY, and NOT to block. To punch straight instead of at a 45` angle. What to watch for when your sparring, and what common mistakes people make. THE BOTTOM LINE IS: IF YOU ARE A SERIOUS MARTIAL ARTIST, AND WANT TO LEARN HOW TO --REALLY--- FIGHT, YOU SHOULD GET THIS BOOK.

Review: IN MEMORY OF MARIO PONTILLO
Since the late 1970's, I have studied Mr. Lee's "Way of the Intercepting fist." I have the 1st editions of all the "best" books on Bruce's work.
This book will walk you through the physical aspect of his methods. I recommend you get all the volumes from this series. You will need to start from the beginning; and you do that by emptying your cup so Bruce may fill it.My favorite quote: "Knowing is not enough, you must apply; willing is not enough, you must do." -Bruce Lee Please do not hesitate to check out my Poetry book that I published while in the U.S. Navy in 2003; "Under the Rose: Poetry of Tragedy, Essence, and Romance"

Summary: one in a thousand!
Review: One of the very few books on Martial Arts which go beyond the "naked" presentation of techniques. Bruce Lee explains tactics - things which help integrate the individual skills into an effective way of fighting. Although there are some "low-level" explanations of the simple kicks and punches (of which the most famous are his lead-hand attack and low-level side kick), the focus is definitely on how to use them in a fight, in response to the actions of your opponent. Reminds me of Musashi's "Book of Five Rings" - I would read one page, then sweat over it for weeks or even months, until the knowledge becomes reflex. As a peculiarity, the round kick is called "hook-kick", but the explanations and the pictures eliminate the possible confusion.
