Description
In the months leading up to his death, Bruce Lee was working on this definitive study of the Chinese martial artscollectively known as Kung Fu or Gung Fu. This book has now been edited and is published here for the first time in its entirety.
Bruce Lee revolutionized the practice of martial arts and brought them into the modern worldby promoting the idea that students have the right to pick and choose those techniques and training regimens which suit their personal needs and fighting styles. He developed a new method of his own called Jeet Kune Docombining many elements from different masters and different traditions. This was considered heretical at the time within martial arts circles, where one was expected to study with only a single masterand Lee was the first martial artist to attempt this. Today he is revered as the father of many martial arts practices around the worldincluding Mixed Martial Arts.
In addition to presenting the fundamental techniques, mindset and training methods of traditional Chinese martial arts, this martial art treatise explores such esoteric topics as Taoism and Zen as applied to Gung Fu, Eastern and Western fitness regimens and self-defense techniques. Also included is a Gung Fu scrapbook of Bruce Lees anecdotes regarding the history and traditions of the martial arts of China. After Lees death, his manuscript was completed and edited by martial arts expert John Little in cooperation with the Bruce Lee Estate. This book features an introduction by his wife, Linda Lee Cadwell and a foreword from his close friend and student, Taky Kimura.
