Tao
of Jeet Kune Do

Topics include Zen and enlightenment, kicking, striking, grappling, and
footwork. With introductions by Linda Lee and editor Gilbert Johnson, "Tao
of Jeet Kune Do" is essential reading for any practitioner and offers a
brief glimpse into the mind of one of the world's greatest martial artists.

over six months when Lee was bedridden with back problems) compiles philisophical
aphorisms, explanations on technique, and sketches by the master himself. |
