5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent techniques, 12 Nov 2003
This review is from: Bruce Lee's Fighting Method: Skill in Techniques v. 3 (Bruce Lee's Fighting Method) (Paperback)
The second book in the JKD series. This is an excellent book that is an absolute must if you are looking into Lee's formless art. It takes the basics of what you learn from "Bruce Lee's Fighting Method: Basic Training" and goes one step further. Its describes brilliantly how to execute various techniques, it explains the origin and adaptations of techiniques from other arts (most notably the sticky hands techniques of Wing Chun) and why they have been incorporated. It emphasises time and again how you should carry these techniques out, explains how they should feel to you and others, and goes into detail about what state you should be in while practicing the different types of techniques. Deffinately a must.

The defintive guide to hand to hand combat, 23 Mar 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Bruce Lee's Fighting Method: Skill in Techniques v. 3 (Bruce Lee's Fighting Method) (Paperback)
This book seems to act as a summary to Lee's Tao of Jeet Kune Do, many training and fighting ideas being depicted in the book, but going into nowhere near as much detail. Although i'm not a Jeet Kune Do student, the techniques in the book are easily applicable to my gung fu training; the book is well laid out, but I would not recommend this book to pure beginners, try volume 1 first. This series of books was actually written by Lee, making it an invaluable part of any fighter's book collection.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Yet another great book from Bruce Lee..., 27 Nov 2004
This review is from: Bruce Lee's Fighting Method: Skill in Techniques v. 3 (Bruce Lee's Fighting Method) (Paperback)
This book is another fantastic read, the pictures are easy to follow to learn/improve on your moves. However, the book focuses more on Bruce Lee's punches, kicks and blocking techniques, rather than his grapples, restraint techniques and manipulation techniuqes. If you are interested in improving on your sparring using punches and kicking, and how to block punches from an opponent, then this is a book for you!
