3-0 out of 5 stars A well done book that I disagree with
The author really did a good job with this book but I still disagree with its premises.

I understand the strong side lead, falling step, vertical fist, power line, and bottom three knuckle landing; the author articulates her viewpoints and reasoning very well.

But overall, I still think the boxing jab is a better weapon for most fist fighting,whether bare knuckle or gloved, self defense or competition.And overall, I still think a high guard with the strong side back is a better guard for most fighters ("peek-a-boo" or "crazy monkey" type guards).Stating all my reasons here would turn this review into an essay.

I had studied Jack Dempsey's Championship Boxing, boxing material from the bare knuckle era, Tao of Jeet Kune Do, and the basic training volume of Bruce Lee's Fighting Method before reading this book, so I have some background on where the author is coming from with many of the key points; however, it's only fair to say I don't practice JKD: I workout and spar in a boxing gym.

If you prefer JKD to boxing, fair enough.But JKD practitioners who use Dempsey's Championship Boxing to validate some of JKD's concepts should look at youtube clips of Dempsey's fights.What Dempsey described in his book doesn't look like how he actually fought.At least in the clips I've seen.

5-0 out of 5 stars JFJKD SAVED FROM EXTINCTION!
I HAVE HAD THE "STRIGHT LEAD" SINCE ITS PUBLICATION AND HAVE READ THE BOOK MORE THAN SEVEN TIMES.IT IS THROUGH THE UNTIRING EFFORTS OF TERI TOM AND THE TRUE TEACHINGS OF JFJKD ARE SAVED FROM EXTINCTION.THE BOOK IS WELL RESEARCHED AND WRITTEN, USING BRUCELEE'S OWN NOTES AND REFERENCE MATERIALS.THE STRIGHT LEAD IS MUCH MORE THAN JUST A MERE "JAB" IT IS A KNOCK OUT PUNCH THAT STANDS ALONE ABOVE ALL OTHER TECHNIQUES IN JFJKD.IT IS SIMPLE, DIRECT AND IN YOUR FACE.THE MECHANICS OF THIS PUNCH ARE QUITE SIMPLE, BUT HARD TO ACHIEVE WITHOUT DEDICATED PRACTICE.IT WILL THE AVERAGE MARTIAL ARTIST 3 TO 6 MONTHS TO GET A GRIP ON IT, HENCE THE REASON MANY WHO PRACTICE JKD JUST DON'T GET IT.MOST PEOPLE KNOW THAT THE MOST POWERFULL KICKS IN MARTIAL ARTS ARE THE "FLYING KICKS" OR "JUMP KICKS".THIS IS BECAUSE OF THE LAWS OF PHYSICS OF MASS AND ACCELERATION.IF THE BODY MOVES FORWARD AND GRAVITY PULLS DOWNWARD THIS CREATES POWER.THE STRIGHT LEAD IS A PERFECT EXAMPLE OF MODERN SCIENCE AND ART COMBINED.ONE CAN SAY THAT "FLYING PUNCHES" HAVE THE POWER TO K.O. THE OPPONENT BECAUSE OF THE FORWARD MOMEMTUM AND POWER OF THE PUSH OFF FOOTWORK.THERE ARE MANY WHO CLAIM TO BE ABLE TO DO THE STRIGHT LEAD, BUT I HAVE YET TO SEEIT IN PRINT OR ON VIDEO.IT IS HARD FOR SOME TO MAKE A CHANGE AFTER REPEATING THE SAME MISTAKE FOR OVER 30 YEARS.JUST ADMIT YOU HAVE BEEN MIS-GUIDED, IT'S NOT YOUR FAULT, IT HAPPENED TO ME BUT I WAS OPEN TO CHANGE AND FINALLY SAW THE LIGHT.I UNDERSTAND THE MECHANICS OF THE STRIGHT LEAD, AND THE FOOTWORK, IT WILL TAKE YOU SOME TIME....IF YOU PRACTICE, YOU WILL GET IT!BRUCE LEE ONLY LEFT A ROADMAP TO JKD IN HIS NOTES.TERI TOM LEAVES A GPS SYSTEM.HOW MUCH SIMPLER CAN IT GET.DR. RICK LENGYELJFJKD INSTRUCTOR UNDER BILL MATTUCCISTUDENT OF TED WONG

1-0 out of 5 stars Good intention, but falls short
I bought this book with great anticipation, but was severely disappointed. Teri Tom studied with Ted Wong (no disrespect to Sifu Wong) for a few years and thinks she's an authority on JKD? Mmmm...

I've studied Jun Fan and JKD for 19 years, with direct students of Bruce Lee from Seattle, Oakland, and L.A. eras. Ms. Tom has A LOT to learn.
This book covers good, basic information about stance and the straight lead, although it is incomplete. It's all stuff I've seen for years in Black Belt and Inside Kung Fu magazines. Nothing new except for the notes on Bruce's research from his books.

Although Tom claims JKD is not modified Wing Chun, sorry... that's what it is. The JKD stance is a Wing Chun right-facing forward stance with a raised heel and forward attack weight. Nothing more. See the book "Advanced Wing Chun" by William Cheung on page 21 for the proof. The JKD stance has all of the triangulation, loaded hip, and internal alignment of the WC stance. Of course if you asked her, she wouldn't have any idea of what you're asking about. You cannot fully understand JKD unless you have the Wing Chun principals! That's why Bruce could make other things work - he used the WC principals to improve and integrate other techniques. This is also why there aren't many great JKD fighters... they don't have any understanding of the WC attributes that made JKD work for Bruce Lee. Pat Strong and James Demile (both Seattle students) told me how Bruce Lee came back to Seattle after moving to Oakland to show them how he modified his stance. He MODIFIED the WC stance, he DID NOT invent a new one based on boxing and fencing as Tom indicates. That's absurd.

Tom also claims Bruce abandoned Wing Chun. He didn't... it abandoned him. Bruce didn't finish his WC training. When he went back to Yip Man years later, he was refused because he had disrespected traditional martial arts openly. So Bruce had to integrate other things into his art to make up for the shortcomings he never learned. This is documented and common knowledge.

The straight lead is also a plain ol' traditional Wing Chun punch (Chun Chuie). Bruce did not invent either the JKD stance or straight lead by combining boxing and fencing. They have existed for a hundreds of years before he was born within Wing Chun. He had notes on boxing in books. I have notes on different religions in my books. It doesn't mean I practice all of them. They are REFERENCES. Bruce didn't need books on WC because he studied it for years under Yip Man and knew it. There also weren't any WC books available at that time. That's why Teri Tom finds so many boxing books and notes at her disposal. But she takes this as being all Bruce was interested in. Is this what she considers research?

Teri also failed to include some of the mechanical principals in describing the lead punch. She left out the immovable elbow, hammer principal, final power (fa-jing), penetration, back/shoulder sealing and unity, sinking weight, small arc (cam) principal, non-intention... I can go on. Her footwork is also an incomplete mess... no spring energy, hip loading, critical edge, start speed, short arc, tilted hip... I can rip this book apart page-by-page, but space is limited here. She even mistakes low-line hooks for a Straight Blast in one of the Bruce documentary films. C'mon, you don't know what a straight blast is? (page 179) She also doesn't understand falling step power, stating to land the punch BEFORE your foot hits the ground. The power comes up from the ground when you contact it through the locked knee.

Even her "interview" with Ted Wong is skewed. She blatantly asks questions that point into the direction of her beliefs. They are clearly manipulative in nature.

This book basically contains beginner info written by a beginner. Nothing replaces a good instructor, especially a bad book. Her knowledge of Wing Chun is so superficial that she makes bad comparisons between WC and JKD. How can you criticize and art you barely have any knowledge of? Teri Tom needs to take the blinders off and gain a little humility.

5-0 out of 5 stars Excellent Book
First off I will say, I have no experience with JKD other than reading books by Bruce Lee.I do have experience with other martial arts though.But from what I could tell, everything presented in this book was excellent.It explained every step clearly, the pictures were very helpful, except in a few instances.It also backed up what it was saying with science.I have worked on my straight lead after reading this book, and I can say it definitely is better.Although still nowhere near perfect, I can say that I understand the concepts of the technique and their applications much better after reading this book.I also understand the history of straight punching and where the concepts derive from. I would definitely recommend it to anyone interested in JKD or even martial arts in general.

4-0 out of 5 stars Interesting but not without flaws
We should not forget that people naturally tend to pick what works for them best out of any system.All the more so is that the case with followers of Lee, who rightfully pride themselves on open-minded practicality.Teri Tom's book on the straight lead explores this tendency a bit, but in a way that could be misleading.

Bruce's lead hand in his books remains notably higher and his elbow further out from the ribs than Ted's version of the guard stance shows.This is true of the guard stances of both his mother art, Wing Chun, and his Jun Fan period, as well as at least one of the styles that developed from his Jun Fan period and were carried on later, like Wing Chun Do.Lee encouraged people to do what works for them, but this will necessarily provoke idiosyncratic changes if only to compensate for differences in body types and the onset of aging.

There will virtually always be some variation even among very loyal students, even those completely disinterested in any other styles.We should probably consider some of these divergences as idiosyncratic adaptations as much as variations.There can be confusion, though, when the adaptations themselves are portrayed as in any way the equivalence of or intention behind the source from which those adaptations sprung.

The book in question, which touts the value of Tom's and perhaps especially Wong's collapsed and low-leverage front hand guard, seems to veer slightly into this territory.Thus, though this is a good book, some of it is too personalized, ironically rendering it vulnerable to the same criticism it levies against others as to their watering down of Lee's original ideas.This is a minor note in an otherwise generally good and interesting book, but it is worthy of note.I look forward to future books by Ms. Tom and Ted Wong, but hope they will not fall into a temptation it appears they got snagged by in this one.

Another note:There is a mantra-like, near chanting of the idea in this text that because the straight lead is the simplest punch, it is the hardest to learn.Such a notion is not only inherently self-contradictory, but a bit uncomfortably "cute" in not recognizing its limitations.It isn't up to bearing the weight of deep knowledge or even utility that appears to be assigned it.At any rate, once or twice was more than enough. ...

I just read, mainly while eliminating excrement in my water closet, The Importance of Bruce Lee.How many times I have wondered both out loud to those who might listen and in my most private moments and considerations when there might exist a book as wonderful and poignant that dealt directly with the goings-on of such a martial-arts virtuoso such as Mr Bruce Lee.It is the New Mexican, Andy Koopmans, who opened my cage and allowed my fancies to fly free.This tome on the dragon master allowed me insights I never even would have supposed I might have desired or even endeavored to know.Well done, Mr Koopmans.

3-0 out of 5 stars The Importance of Bruce Lee
The first Bruce Lee biography out of the gates in the UK in 2003 had an educational flavour and carried the weight suggested in its title by being issued in hardback form. The Importance of Bruce Lee plays the educational card well by giving Bruce Lee's life and times a social and historical context that provides a supportive framework to what's on offer, adding an extra dimension in terms of quality.

Although the book is specifically aimed at a younger market, which comes across clearly in the style of writing, this in no way impedes its accessibility. The Game of Death colouration of the sturdy cover is either a happy accident or an ideal marketing ploy, while the author's view of Bruce Lee comes from outside of the usual fan-based arena these books usually stem from and benefits because of this, with the information presented as concise but impartial. Quotes are lifted from a cross-section of works, primarily from the writings of Linda Lee Cadwell, Bruce Thomas and Tom Bleecker and are well integrated into the main body text. Sidebars focusing and providing more detail on Bruce Lee related issues make for a nice touch, although a section on Brandon Lee's death seems out of place based, as it is on a sensational article from an entertainment periodical.

While the book is an agreeable experience, it can't be considered an essential purchase. I could pin this on the fact that for an educational book it isn't entirely free of faults; although the text is factually based there are one or two minor errors that should have been picked up in the editing process. This is just a tiny niggle though and shouldn't deter newcomers from adding it to their collection, especially if their criteria is an easily read introduction to the life of Bruce Lee. Old timers, however, might want to give it a miss, as there's little to sink their teeth into here.

5-0 out of 5 stars What's up, Lee?
I started out my summer with a biography, The Importance of Bruce Lee.The author of this fantastic biography, Andy Koopmans, provides so many details that you could just imagine being in Bruce Lee's shoes.For example, Bruce Lee was a bus boy while growing up and he hated it!I can see why, because one of my chores is HHH--that stands for hand wash, hand dry, and hand out the dishes and silverware.One reason I enjoyed this book was because when I was done with it Bruce Lee became a hero to me.Another reason I enjoyed the book was because I happen to be a very serious martial arts fan.

Among the several things I liked in the book are all the surprises.No, no, no, not like cake and brownies and presents.But things I didn't know that I found out, such as Bruce Lee's youth gang, the Tigers, a gang that lost a lot of fights.But Lee never admitted defeat.Bruce Lee's love life was the biggest surprise of all.I mean, who would expect his life to be like Romeo and Juliet?He was a dragon in love with girls.In Hong Kong girls adored him but in America it was harder to find girls.Lee, however, was determined.If a girl he liked passed him, he would take off his shirt and beat up one of his bigger students to impress her.I'm eleven years old and the mix of Bruce Lee's fighting and romance reminded me of things I like to hear about.

I would recommend The Importance of Bruce Lee to anyone interested in martial arts, Bruce Lee (that one is kind of obvious!), and the life of a movie actor.After reading this book, whenever I push myself to extremes like swimming fourteen laps and biking five miles every day, I think of Bruce Lee.I'm thankful to Andy Koopmans for writing this inspiring biography.I've read biographies before but nothing like this one.I enjoyed this book so much that I'm going to read whatever else I can find written by Andy Koopmans. ...

5-0 out of 5 stars The story of Pearl Harbor from the Secretary of War's Special Investigator
Pearl Harbor: Final Judgement was written by the Secretary of War's Special Investigator, Henry C. Clausen. In his investigation Clausen had access to all of the Department of War's Top Secret decoded documents and interviewed 92 individuals under oath. Clausen shows that several "war alerts" were sent to all of the Pacific commanders in late November and early December 1941, and Hawaii had been specifically ordered to conduct reconnaissance. Then on December 6, Roosevelt was shown 13 Japanese messages sent to the Japanese embassy that had been intercepted and decoded. FDR realized that it meant Japan was going to war with the US. FDR did not know where the Japanese fleet was nor where Japan would strike, but he called General Short in Hawaii that night. The problem was that Admiral Kimmel was not sharing intelligence with General Short and both of the Hawaii commanders had concluded on November 28 that Japan would strike in the Far East, Thailand, Malaya, the Netherlands East Indies, or the Philippines and "no immediate activity beyond possible sabotage was to be expected in Hawaii."

It was a very interesting story as Clausen was an experienced attorney and prosecutor. He was very skillful in putting all of the evidence together and then questioning the witnesses while showing them pertinent documents that would prevent them from giving a BS story. It was fascinating how Clausen pieced it all together to determine who was culpable in the Pearl Harbor tragedy.

Note that this book was released by several publishers. Other copies of the book and more reviews can be found at Pearl Harbor : Final Judgement.

Lou Gaul, respected film critic and historian, provides an insightful look at the life and film career of the legendary Bruce Lee.

"There remains only one king of cinematic kung fu: Bruce Lee. He still holds that position more than two decades after his passing.
"The book will pinpoint many elements throughout Lee's career: the use of prejudice as a theme, sexual elements, critical overviews, and scene readings. For clarification, the text is divided into a number of sections, with the cumulative effect of presenting a picture of a gifted, driven genius."

Does Bruce Lee live? - This is the question that came across Ivor Wishart's mind, an investigative reporter. Bruce Lee Lives? , written by Max Caufield, is a book about the investigation on heroin traffic and police corruption in Hong Kong by Ivor Wishart. He then finds himself investigating Bruce Lee's death or if, in fact, he was murdered by the CAS (Chinese Asian Syndicate). The CAS is equivalent to the mafia, only bigger, and has control of most of Hong Kong.
Wishart presents theories of how Bruce Lee may have been murdered, either with poison or acupuncture. He then makes a conclusion that Bruce may still be alive and working with the CAS. The book goes into deep detail of his investigations and the missions he performs to find the location of the hidden heroin production plants in Hong Kong and his search for Bruce Lee.
The book is well written. You will definitely enjoy it if you're a Bruce Lee fan. I recommend you to even buy it. It's all together a good read. ... Read more
