Book by Lee Bruce: Jeet Kune Do

The secret journal and personal combat guide that Bruce Lee developed and wrote over many years of practice and study.

Jeet Kune Do is a "total" martial arts system that is constantly evolving, and anyone who fully immerses themselves in its principles and teachings becomes virtually unbeatable. As Bruce Lee himself defined it, Jeet Kune Do can take on all forms and styles: it uses any technique that serves its purpose, which is solely that of ultimate victory.

The book is filled with illustrations by Bruce Lee himself, which clearly explain the actions and movements to be performed. The characteristics, qualities, and personality of the true fighter are outlined from technical, practical, and psychological perspectives. The book will therefore prove invaluable for anyone who practices martial arts (from Jujitsu to Judo, from Karate to Kung Fu), or any combat sport that pits them against an opponent, such as boxing, wrestling, fencing, and the like.

Bruce Lee

(San Francisco 1940 – Hong Kong 1973) In 1953, at the age of 13, he began practicing Kung Fu in the Wing Chun style. He seemed to have a natural talent for this art, so much so that he gave up his career as a dancer. From that moment on, a new life began for the young Bruce. Throughout his life, Bruce not only studied martial arts but also learned from his master, Yip Man, various philosophical concepts, including the teachings of Buddha, Confucius, Lao Tzu, and the founders of Taoism. In 1959, Bruce returned to San Francisco, where he studied and began teaching Kung Fu. During this period, he won numerous tournaments and, through his many demonstrations, attracted the attention of several film directors. In Los Angeles, Bruce Lee began his acting career by starring in the popular television series The Green Hornet as Kato. During that time, Bruce also taught Kung Fu to many famous actors. He began publishing his first books on his new art, "Jeet Kune Do." Until then, he had limited himself to writing down all his thoughts on martial arts, developing this new style. With his extensive knowledge, he was able to refine and improve many techniques he had previously learned. Bruce starred in 25 films and television series. In 1972, in one of his best Kung Fu films, *Return of the Dragon*, Bruce starred alongside Chuck Norris, Danny D’Agostino, and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. On July 20, 1973, he died in Hong Kong; the causes remain a mystery.
