The Tao of Bruce Lee


Book Description

Just weeks after completing Enter the Dragon, his first vehicle for a worldwide audience, Bruce Lee - the self-proclaimed world's fittest man - died mysteriously at the age of thirty-two. The film has since grossed over $500 million, making it one of the most profitable in the history of cinema, and Lee has acquired almost mythic status. Lee's was a flawed, complex yet singular talent. He revolutionized the martial arts and forever changed action movie-making. As in The Tao of Muhammad Ali, Davis Miller brilliantly combines biography - the fullest, most unflinching and revelatory to date - with his own coming-of-age autobiography. The result is a unique and compelling book.




Bruce Lee


Book Description

This is a compilation of anecdotes, interviews and essays that were not included in the author's full-length Bruce Lee biography, Fighting Spirit, reflecting the many faces of a complex man - Bruce Lee: celebrity and icon, the greatest movie star of his day, the most innovative martial artist of the modern era, and Bruce Lee: the flawed human and unfulfilled philosopher.




Bruce Lee's Fighting Method


Book Description

Part of the Bruce Lee's Fighting Method series, this book teaches how to perform jeet kune do's devastating strikes and exploit an opponent's weaknesses with crafty counterattacks like finger jabs and spin kicks.




Immortal Combat


Book Description

A complete overview of all aspects of combat, from the primitive to the cutting-edge, Immortal Combat uses Bruce Lee’s life and work as a martial artist to examine the crucial differences between the soldier and the warrior. It draws an analogy between the ambitions of the competitive, ego-driven martial sportsman, typified by the career of karate champion Joe Lewis, and the spiritual aims of the martial artist, personified by the life of Morehei Ueshiba, the founder of aikido. Bruce Lee represents the man torn between his ambitions and his art, who somehow has to reconcile the two. The book argues that the path of the martial artist is that of self-mastery and self-knowledge, while the ambition of the martial sportsman is to set himself above and apart from others. This thought-provoking read moves beyond the popular image of Bruce Lee as an action hero, placing his life and legacy in a deeper context.




The Big Wheel


Book Description

Satirical take on life on the road with Elvis Costello and the Attractions, by the band's bass player.
