Bruce Lee was possibly the greatest exponent of the Chinese martial arts ever produced. The brightest star in a galaxy of martial artists, Lee blazed brilliantly over the worlds of motion pictures and martial arts until his death at the age of 32. His is familiar to millions, immortalised on celluloid, and iconified by his countless fans everywhere. Yet little has been recorded of the inner man, the iron will and ego which drove him to climb to the heady heights of public and technical acclaim.
The fact that he was also an international movie star often clouds his enormous contribution to the field of martial arts. This radical departure from the sterility of many of the conventions inherent in formalised fighting techniques will remain his true epitaph.
Originally released in 1979 by Kung-Fu Monthly, The Power of Bruce Lee explores many of Lee's revolutionary methods of attack and defence, especially those relating to Jeet Kune Do, Lee's own personal expression of martial arts and ferocious fighting system.
For the first time in over forty years, The Power of Bruce Lee has been re-released by Pit Wheel Press as part of the Kung-Fu Monthly Archive Series, in co-operation with Dennis Publishing.
