The legendary fighter teaches how to perform jeet kune do's most devastating strikes and exploit an opponent's weaknesses with crafty counterattacks like finger jabs and spin kicks. In addition, Lee breaks down the attributes that make up the ultimate warrior and reveals how to develop the proper tactics and attitude for victory. As the fourth and final volume in the "Bruce Lee's Fighting Method" series, it contains detailed illustrations and vintage photos capturing Lee in his prime. This essential series, compiled and organized by his close friend, Mito Uyehara, is the perfect companion to Bruce Lee's classic text, "Tao of Jeet Kune Do".

IN MEMORY OF MARIO PONTILLO
Since the late 1970's, I have studied Mr. Lee's "Way of the Intercepting fist."
This book will walk you through the physical aspect of his methods. It is the last in a volume of 4 books. 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.

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"
Format:Paperback
This is a book that is almost immediatly applicable to a point sparring situation, but also just good for learning one-on-one fighting techniques. I think the only "advanced" principle is feinting, and maybe the parts on stop-hitting and dealing with different kinds of fighters. I consider this book as part of a whole, although it can stand alone for the average martial artist. The basic techniques, such as the side kick and backfist, are probably familiar to most "hard" stylists, but I think the idea of having your dominant side forward, and striking primarily with your lead weapons, may be new to some. This approach to JKD emphasises fluidity and adaptability, and some of that comes out in this text. I would recomend also picking up the other books in this series, as well as "Tao of Jeet Kune Do" for a more complete coverage of this unique style.
Format:Paperback
This is a good book for those individuals consumed with Bruce Lee, it was published in the early 1970's with the simple black and white photos and simple text. At its original publication time it was an excellent resource; it is now very dated and many more books with much more information regarding the martial arts and self-defense have been produced. If you are a Bruce Lee fan and must own his works, buy this book. But, if you are more concerned with truely advanced techniques in the martial arts, pass on this book and refer to those which I list in my "Listmania".
