Essay on Jeet Kune Do Bruce Lee 1 Three swordsmen sat down at a table in a crowded Japanese inn and began to make loud comments about their neighbor, hoping to goad him into a duel. The master seemed to take no notice of them, but when their remarks became ruder and more pointed, he raised his chopsticks and, in quick snips, effortlessly caught four flies wings. As he slowly laid down the chopsticks, the three swordsmen hurriedly left the room. The story illustrates a great difference between oriental and western thinking. The average westerner would be intrigued by someones ability to catch flies with chopsticks, and would probably say that has nothing to do with how good he is in combat. But the oriental would realize that a man who has attained such complete mastery of an art reveals his presence of mind in every action. The state of wholeness and imperturbability demonstrated by the master indicated his mastery of self. And so it is with martial arts. To the westerner the finger jabs, the side kicks, and the back fist, etc, are tools of destruction and violence which is, indeed, one of their functions. But the oriental believes that the primary function of such tools is revealed when they are self-distracted and destroy greed, fear, anger and folly. Manipulative skill is not Orientals goal. He is aiming his kicks and blows at himself and when successful, may even succeed in knocking himself out. After years of training, he hopes to achieve that vital loosening and equability of all powers which is what the three swordsmen saw in the master. In every day life the mind is capable of moving from one thought or object to another being mind instead of having mind. However, when face to face with an opponent in a deadly contest, the mind tends to stick and loses it mobility. Stick ability or stoppage is a problem that haunts every martial artist. Kwan in (avalokitesvara), the goddess of mercy, is sometimes represented with one thousand arms, each holding a different instrument. If her mind stops (999) will be of no use whatever, it is only because of her mind not stopping with the use of one arm, but moving from one instrument to another, that all her arms prove useful with the utmost degree of efficiency. Thus the figure is meant to demonstrate that, when the ultimate truth is realized even as many as one thousand arms on one body may each be service able in one way or another. Purposelessness, empty mindedness or no art are frequent terms used in the orient to denote the ultimate 2 achievement of a martial artist. According to Zen, the spirit is by nature formless and no objects are to be harbored in it. When anything is harbored there, psychic energy is drawn toward it, and when psychic energy loses its balance, its native activity becomes cramped and it no longer flows with the stream, where the energy is tipped, there is too much of it in one direction and a shortage of it in another direction. Where there is too much energy, it overflows and cannot be controlled. In either case, it is unable to cope with ever changing situations. But when there prevails a state of purposelessness (which is also a stage of fluidity or mindlessness) , the spirit harbors nothing in it, nor is it tipped in one direction; it transcends both subject and object; it responds empty mindedly to whatever is happening. True mastery transcends any particular art. It stems from mastery of oneself the ability, developed through self discipline, to be calm, fully aware, and completely in tune with oneself and the surroundings. Then, and only then, can a person know himself. ---- Bruce Lee 3 TAO OF JEET KUNE DOA Taoist PriestIntroductionContentsUntitledOn ZenArt of the SoulJeet Kune DoOrganized DespairThe Facts of Jeet Kune DoThe Formless FormPRELIMINARIESTrainingWarming UpOn-Guard PositionProgressive Weapons Charts8 Basic Defense PositionsSome Target AreasQUALITIESCoordinationPrecisionPowerEnduranceBalanceBody FeelGood formVision AwarenessUntitledTimingAttitudeTOOLSSome Weapons from JKDKickingStrikingGrapplingStudies on Judo & Ju-JitsuPREPARATIONSFeintsParriesManipulationsMOBILITYDistanceFootworkEvasivenessATTACKPreparation of AttackSimple attackCompound AttackCounterattackRiposteRenewed AttackTactics5 Ways of AttackCIRCLE WITH NO CIRCUMFERENCEIT'S JUST A NAMEEssay on Jeet Kune Do & Self-Mastery

From the Introduction: 'In 1970, Bruce sustained a rather sever injury to his back. His doctors ordered him to discontinue the practice of martial arts and to remain in bed to allow his back heal. This was probably the most trying and dispiriting time in Bruce's life. He stayed in bed, virtually flat on his back for six months, but he couldn't keep his mind from working -...more

I took martial arts a pre-teen/teen. I sucked at it. My teacher was a strict Asian badass, I was so terrifed of him. lol What can I say, I am a delicate flower. Physical activities are not my forte.
I am such a nerd when it comes to Bruce Lee.
An excellent book that I highly recommend. One of my favorite stories from the book is the following:
Bruce Lee and I were having dim sum, a traditional Chinese breakfast of meat-filled pastries, in a downtown Los Angeles restaurant after a lesson. I seized on this opportunity to tell him that I was discouraged. At forty-five, I felt I was too old and my body too stiff to achieve any real ability in jeet-kune-do.

Long before Steven Segal, Van Damme or the UFC, there was Bruce Lee. While most of the world was concerned with kata and board breaking, Lee was developing a concept that would eventually become the most fundamental aspect of today’s fastest growing sport (mixed martial arts)—use what works for you. While taken as objective truth in today’s rapidly expanding MMA community, it was revolutionary and anathema to the conventional wisdoms of the time. It crossed cultural boundaries within the realm o...more
In 'Tao of Jeet Kune Do', the only character is Bruce Lee. He is also the author of the book. Lee was born in San Francisco, November 20, 1940, and died on May 10, 1973, suffering from seizures and headaches. He was eager to learn martial arts mainly because he was bullied in school. He wanted to show people that just because he was Chinese he could be successful. He eventually was so successful in martial arts, he began to create his own fighting style with a mixture of many different martial...more

Jeet Kune Dō (henceforth, JKD) is Bruce Lee’s “styleless style” of martial arts. Its literal meaning is “the way of the intercepting fist.” However, Lee cautions one against attaching too much significance to that name (or any name) in the book’s final chapter. Long before “Mixed Martial Arts” became a household word, Lee was constructing this fighting system that borrowed heavily from the Western traditions of boxing, fencing (conceptually speaking), and wrestling as well as from Kungfu, Savate...more

Although this book is more for martial arts practitioner than the casual readers but I'm personally interested in Lee's philosophies. The first part of it is absolutely vital and satisfying and the last part as well. Bruce wrote magnificently about oneself and the art of expressing it honestly. He masterly simplifies everything and put everything regarding oneself into a clearer and freeing perspective.
It's impossible to read this one and not gain something, I know I gained many.
Cool for fans, but I still can't throw a one inch punch.
I skim-read most of this book, but I liked reading something by Bruce Lee. Had some good philosophy and fitness motivation in the book. I wouldn't read this unless you are training though. My older brother likes Bruce Lee, so we had this in the house.
What can I say about this book & this man. Bruce lee has always had such an influence on me, especially in my teens. Of course, he is well known as a martial art film star ,but he is so much more than that. He was a teacher & philosopher too, who had to fight against racism while living in america to become the man he was to become. This book describes the art that he created called `Jeet kune do`- the way of the intercepting fist. One of my favourite quotes of his which sums up his phil...more

During my adolescence Bruce Lee was a hero of mine. He was a minority hero who broke down racial barriers. I remember seeing a documentary about Lee. It interviewed famous black Americans who considered Lee a hero of theirs as well just because he wasn't white (and he could kick butt like no one else).
I bought this book back in the 80's and still have it. There's philosophy, art and, of course, martial arts. It is a testimony to a truly fascinating life. I don't agree with all the philosophy, b...more

So good. No one says it better than Bruce Lee himself...
'Self-knowledge is the basis of Jeet Kun Do because it is effective, not only for the individual's martial art, but also for his life as a human being.'
What an honor it must have been to have known him.

This is a collection of tips and techniques from Bruce Lee about his martial arts technique. There is very little structure to the book, and it's not something one should read cover to cover. I think it would be most helpful as a martial arts/jeet kune do reference manual and improvement guide, including not only the movements and musculature necessary but also the mental focus and way of thought. The whole collection of material gives some insight into Bruce Lee's way of thinking--perhaps most...more
There is a reason why, more than 20 years after his death, that Bruce Lee is still getting articles about his way and his own personal technique written in magazines and why he is still revered by so many. This book is a good example of the reasons why. The important thing though is to learn from his example, understand it, and then create your own method instead of just following it.

Great book with detailed information about Jeet Kune Do and the philosophy behind it. Although it's incomplete but it's satisfying to read Lee's philosophy. A must read for those who are interested in this matter.
Jeet Kune Do (JKD) was never meant to be a specific style, or another form of martial art. It was just a name Bruce Lee reluctantly coined because he felt he had to call it something. He was concerned that, once named, his approach to Martial Arts could be misinterpreted or exploited.
Anyway, 40 years after Bruce Lee's death, this volume and the 4 paperback volumes of 'Bruce Lee's Fighting Method' (now also available in one Hardcover volume) offer, in my opinion, the best overview of his practica...more

I read this book for the philosophy not for the martial arts but as a former martial arts practitioner it was interesting to see the basic review of the approach to Jeet Kune Do-- many of Bruce Lee's approaches have been incorporated into modern Kung Fu.
At its essence Tao of Jeet Kune Do is two thick slices of Philosophy (at the beginning an end) with a serving of Martial arts in between. It is there where Bruce Lee is most poignant.

It's an awkward one. On the one hand, this is a glimpse into the notebooks of arguably the most important person in the popularisation of martial arts and a good look at the training philosophy of someone whose approaches to breaking down the formality of traditional martial arts have really taken off in the past thirty years.
On the other hand, we have to remember that what a book does for the reader is also important. It's not, for example, going to provide a comprehensive guide to the core tec...more

everyone takes something different from this book, it's so open to many interpretations but the best part about it is the fact you really get to dive into Bruce Lee's mind. you get to see what he was thinking, what he was trying to accomplish and most of all a way of life. if you're an athelte who lifts or plays ball you'll learn something. if you're a Buddhist or Christian looking for a new spritual perspective you'll learn something. if you're wandering aimlessly in l...more

Concrete no-nonsense martial arts. Very good for the martial artist and athlete alike. This book really encouraged me to branch out in Martial Arts and learn the traditional sports like wrestling and boxing.
Yes!

This book seems to lack a clear organisation and can sometimes be vague. I have still found it very useful in consolidating what I learn in a class setting. It's not meant to teach you how to do Jeet Kune Do, but its more like a supplement to your training. My rating says 5 stars because it personally means a lot to me, however its probably more like 4-4.5 stars to properly reflect the flaws that it has. Its recommended to anyone interested in Bruce Lee's philosophy and martial arts. Here is my...more
An incomplete guide to 'emptying your cup so that it may be filled again'. Gathered from Bruce's writings and sketches, this book teaches you the philosophy behind Jeet Kune Do. This book is a must-read for anyone doing martial arts. Techniques, practices, motivation, reasons. 'Take what is useful and develop from there.'
The best parts of this book are the very first and last pages. They offer you topics to meditate, think and discuss upon.

I was twelve and it was my birthday. My mom gave me some money and told me I could buy whatever I could with it as her present for me. After school, I went to a bookstore and bought a paperback of this literary work of art. It's good to revisit this book once more now that I'm 33. If Bruce Lee achieved so much that actors his age weren't able to, it's because his growth mindset, drive, and passion for his work enabled him to thrive in his colourful but sadly, short life.

Very informative and a great look into Bruce's mind when it came to the martial arts. This would make a great read for anyone that has ever been a fan of his or even had the slightest interest in martial arts.
Learn about Jeet Kune Do. What it is and the idea behind the style. Follow that up with Bruce's views on becoming a better fighter from coordination to power and endurance both body and mind.

I purchased this book right after watching the movie 'Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story.' It took me a year to absorbed and strive to apply all the philosophy in it. I still have the original book I purchased, and it is filled with my personal notes, observations, and references. 10 Stars if I could rate it that many!

'Before I studied the art, a punch to me was just a punch, a kick was just a kick.
After I’d studied the art, a punch was no longer a punch, a kick no longer a kick.
Now that I understand the art, a punch is just a punch, a kick is just a kick.'
It should be understood that Bruce Lee did not write this book as published, but rather it was compiled after his death by Dan Inosanto, other senior students, and his wife. Though he wrote all of the words, he did not set them in their final form. As suc...more

I can't remember where I got this book. It's been a while. If I had to guess, I'd say that I bought it myself.
The introduction to the book, written by Linda Lee and the editor, says that the book contains little new information. It is mostly how Bruce himself liked to train and fight. I agree with them. Indeed, the first section on Zen and how it relates to the mindset of a Martial Artist echoes a book I read recently, 'The Sword and the Mind'. Both of them speak of how a martial artist should...more
