Welcome to Litsy!

Closest thing we will ever get to an autobiography written by Bruce himself.

Might be the last read of the year.
It's not all bruce lee but how his words reflect.
Good one sitting read

Love getting Bruce Lee books.
So much wisdom

Some people are unaware of how much strategy is involved on martial arts. They think it‘s random arm swinging. Bruce lee teaches proper defending techniques and strategy that people who make up their own systems don‘t know. There are small details and theory and he covers the fundamentals including advice, how to block or evade attacks, how to deceive and outsmart your opponent. It‘s not a list of combinations, but it is still very useful.

This was a solid biography that provides a fair and full picture of Lee that included his youth as a street punk, his progressiveness in teaching martial arts to all, his determination to break through Hollywood‘s “yellow ceiling,” his egotism and vanity, and his complete and utter lack of faithfulness to his wife. The reader sees Lee for the inspirational but flawed and in some ways disappointing person that he was. Overall I‘ll give it 4/5.

A little repetitive in some places but still enjoyable and great words from Bruce Lee.
Also I found a nice little note from the previous owner.
Love finding stuff like this

Cult actor and director, master of kung fu. He also wrote poems. In this book, he appears as poet, philosopher, scientist, writer, choreographer, husband, father and friend. A Chinese born in the United States, Bruce Lee had a unique opportunity make sense of two great cultural traditions, the East and the West. His life itself was a work of art, described in this book - a collection of autobiographical notes, letters, poems. 🥋

Great book, well written. I could not put this book down. So Interesting how his life began and ended, who he knew and the struggles he went through.

This is my second #makemereadit #readathon book it's slow going and I haven't read them in order, sorry! @TheReadingMermaid 🧜‍♀️

I remember seeing Enter the Dragon in a theater with my father. The scene involving his screen sister really affected me. Later I learned Bruce Lee had been a local and had his studio just across the bay.
