Tao of Jeet Kune Do
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. "You will never learn anything new unless you are ready to accept yourself with
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.If you are not that much into martial arts, get this

Description To Books Tao of Jeet Kune Do
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 - the result of which is this book." Linda Lee "Jeet Kune Do, you see, has no definite lines or boundaries - only those you make yourself." Gilbert L JohnsonPresent Books As Tao of Jeet Kune Do

Concrete no-nonsense martial arts. Very good for the martial artist and athlete alike.
