This book is nothing more than a copy of other 10 JKD books that have been written about Bruce lee's life, one more guy writes about Bruce lee's HISTORY and theories and how he became so great and how he came to this country at a young age, but yet lets title the book Jeet Kune Do BASIC, how can you teach a basic student from a text without demonstrating the technique, that blows my mind .that someone thinks that they can teach from just writing it and telling you how, good luck. The title of this book should be Bruce lee's life that you have read about 20 thousand times. As for the guy that posted a challenge, he should realize that Tun sau lop sau which is a block grab is not used to block a quick jab, it can very effectively used against a wrist grab shirt grab, a kick can be stopped with tun as well. Etc....but he is just another guy that thinks he is a great fighter in his own world.

To luke the Great,

I knew the moment I read your review that you are Bruce Lee the Great,Get a life and pick on someone in your area of interest,I am just a person that likes to read books on martial arts not a fighter.This is not a forum idiot, it is only for reviews only.I could care less what your stupid pak sao or how ever way you spell it can do and how many people you've trained with to me you're just a master in your own way. I am sure there are lots of people that can kick your #@$%&,Peace be would you bruce.
