A Great Insight Into Martial Arts!,
By no1filmaddict (UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Bruce Lee's Fighting Method: Basic Training: Basic Training v. 2 (Paperback)
I have been training in the Martial Arts now for over four years, and i thought that it was now about time to start increasing my overall knowledge in the area of my life that i am so fond of. Being a big fan of Bruce Lee, i decided to check out some of his books, and once i had got this one, i was very suprised at why i had not brought one earlier. It is split into five chapters; The Fighting Man Exercise, The On-Guard Position, Footwork, Power Training, and finally Speed Training. Chapter one has loads of stuff on stamina exercies, warming up exercies, flexibility exercises, and abdominal exercises, all of which were used by Bruce Lee himself. For every thing mentioned in the book this a black and white photo demonstrating it, and although they were taken in the sixties, they are still very clear and precise, and you will have to trouble seeing ehat is going on in them. Overall a very good book for any serious Martial Artist and even if the teniques don't really apeal to you, the stamina, flexibilit and speed exercies certainly will. Don't be fool though into thinking that because it was mostly written by Bruce Lee that it is purely for people studying JKD, because i am a Black Belt in Karate and i found this book very useful to my training. Also as it is written by probably the greatest martial artist of all time, you know that what he is saying is quality and will work in practise.

Basic is basic,
By
This review is from: Bruce Lee's Fighting Method: Basic Training: Basic Training v. 2 (Paperback)
If you were like me, and had very little idea about martial arts except you wanted to learn it, then this book is a good choice.It has good descriptions of basic stretching, strength training, speed training and more, on how to get you physically fit and capable of practicing martial arts. Have no illusions, you will not be able to pick up this book as a novice and suddenly be a legned of JKD just because it has Lee's name on it. It is made clear in the book, just as it would be taught by an instructor, that you must train in these ways for months to get them down. When you do this, the techniques start to become second nature which is the important thing. It explains in great detail of the reasons behind the training. Muscle memory, nerve memory, stamina and latent power are some of the reaons behind needing the correct form. As I say, these are the basics. To get into JKD, learn the basics, learn from the man that developed the formless art, buy this book.

a MUST HAVE for the martial artist...,
This review is from: Bruce Lee's Fighting Method: Basic Training: Basic Training v. 2 (Paperback)
This book is very informative, especially if you are new into martial arts, no matter what style you use. I bought this book, before I got into Taekwondo, and it was very helpful to me. You can learn a lot from the book that you don’t learn in Taekwondo lessons. A must have for a martial artist!!!
