Summary: Excellent overview of Bruce Lee's system
Comment: First let me state that I am not a Jun Fan / JKD teacher. I have no interest in the Name calling that goes on within that group. I have read some of the reviews of this book, and can tell that the negative comments about this book are from factions within the JKD crowd that are just trying to damage the sale of Mr. Davis's book. I have no horse in this race. I am not a student of Mr. Davis, or any other Jun Fan/JKD instructor or organization. I am an instructor in Bruce Lee's original system, Wing Chun Kung Fu. I teach under the lineage of Grandmaster Ip Ching, the son of Bruce Lee's only real teacher, Grandmaster Ip Man. My background in the arts goes back 35+ years. I have read many books on Bruce Lee's fighting art. This is by far the best. Mr. Davis has a very good understanding of Bruce Lee's original art, Wing Chun. And it shows in his writing. This is a must read for anyone interested in Bruce Lee's system. Don't let the unprofessional actions of those who are in opposition to Mr. Davis keep you from owning this book. It is a great addition to any Martial Art collection.

Summary: Scientific Streetfighting
Comment: Put simply, I think this book is incredibly helpful for all JKD practicioners and enthusiasts. It explains the major points of Bruce Lee's martial art with pin-point accuracy, yet in a way which any reader can easily understand and apply. One thing i particularly like is how it does not get bogged down with pointless and elaborate ways to explain key points of JKD, I have seen such meaningless digression countless times with books concerning martial arts, expecially JKD.
One thing i would point out, wihtout trying to be offensive in any way, is that while other reviewers on here have criticised the amount of step-by-step photo sequences towards the end of the book I think that this is simply because they have not taken the time to make use of the photos. For a start is it very difficult to put into words what a technique should be like, with the aid of photos these techniques become much more accessible. The author has obviously taken much care and planning to make these demonstration sequences as accurate and informative as possible and from personal experience I can say they are excellent for use as reference when training interception with partners.
Overall Sifu Lamar M. Davis II provides a magnificent book showing how Bruce Lee's Jeet Kune Do is unquestionably effective as a 'Scientific Streetfighting' art.

Summary: Macho, macho man...
Comment: Aweful book on a great subject. Has 100 pages of meathead Lamar punching and kicking some guy who isn't fighting very well. Gives very little info on technique and philosophy, and does not address groundfighting, which is where 90% of the fights i've had have ended up. The author seems to be self-righteous in his approach to Lee's art, and claims his methods are exactly the same as taught by Lee. If you want to explore Lee's art, get the books authored by Lee, some wing chun books, and maybe some books by Lee's personal students. This guy is just a beefy, angry person trying to make a buck, and capitalize on Lee's art. He should capitalize on his own art and stop giving Lee a bad name.
