Bruce Lee The Art of Expressing the Human Body: 4 (Orphans' Home Cycle)

Got a lot of good information from this book

Bruce Lee has given so much to everyone. He left several manuscripts, thoughts, movies, poems, traces of himself. Bruce Lee is considered the father of MMA, to find part or less agree on the issue, I can only say that he expressed his way of being, without lying. This book is like watching (in my opinion) to the growth of small seedling that becomes the oak. The book collects all the exercises that Sifu Lee performed, the card routine in the gym, as well as a complete section that is explained by testimony and notes of the same small dragon, the diet you choose, up to his untimely demise. Dedicated to the fans, I can only recommend this book to have even among those who have already purchased. I would add that the quality of these publications is up to my expectations. Good Read and Walk On

Excellent Book on Bruce lee and full of his training methods, its a book you can read pretty much every day especially when you want to train, you can always relate to this book, it has alot of detailed information on bruce lee’s workout and his diet, I have had this book a while now and one of my Favourite books to read and enjoy

Bruce Lee was arguably one of the fittest athletes of his time. His feats of strength, stamina and athleticism are well renowned beyond the martial arts community. Lee himself never produced a complete guide to his strength and conditioning programme (at least that I’m aware of!) and so here author John Little has used all available documentation to detail the training methods used by Lee to obtain his incredible physique. The key parts of this book discuss stretching, cardio and various strength routines all used by Lee at various points and explained how they can be used to achieve similar results. Most routines are easily achieved using modern gym equipment and many require none at all. You will however not be able to rely on this book alone if you wish to develop a physique like Lee’s. None of the explanations of the various exercises go into enough detail and so require prior knowledge or a bit of research. For example, you shouldn’t try exercises like the squat, bench press or clean and press without the correct technique, which isn’t detailed in the book. Additionally although there is a chapter on nutrition it doesn’t contain enough detail on the diet necessary to develop muscle and lose fat. The old saying that you can’t out-train a bad diet has become cliche for a reason. Diet is without a doubt the most important part of developing a strong and lean physique. For this further reading will be required. Ultimately this book is a worthy addition to any health and fitness collection. The focus is on strength and conditioning, not martial arts. It contains sound advice and some great training programmes that will add variety to your own. Ideally you will have some training knowledge to make the best use of this piece however the instruction and insight contained within will benefit anyone looking to develop themselves.

This is a great book if you like training the Bruce Lee way. I liked it and found it interesting and informative.

If you are a martial artist of any age this book is a MUST have! The book offers the reader not only insight into the methods that Bruce Lee used whilst at the peek of the man's career, but also the science behind Bruce's conclusions from a martial art perspective. I had this book a few month's and absorbed it's value! anybody who buy's, peace and merry Crimbo! xxxx

Great to have some inspiration and notes from the man himself in my collection. A great addition to my library. A book that you read for specific needs / thoughts on a topic rather than a front to back read through.

Found this book very interesting to find out how Bruce Lee trained. Is an easy read and has some great quotes from the man himself

Das Buch ist ein Muss für jeden Bruce Lee Fan. Habe es nichtmal bis zur Hälfte gelesen und bin trotzdem positiv überrascht.Das Wissen in diesem Buch ist Gold Wert.Nicht nur weil mir besondere Trainingsmethoden beigebracht wurden,sondern auch weil ich fühl über Bruce Lee und seinen Beziehungen zu Freunden etc. erfahren habe.

Photos, textes, entraînements complets font de ce livre un excellent guide, même si les méthodes ont évolué depuis. À lire cependant...

As a lifetime student of numerous martial arts (Judo, wrestling, boxing, Jujitsu, Karate-Do, Kenjutsu, Military combatives, Jeet Kune Do etc.), I was a Bruce Lee fan for many years. I have also read just about every book published on the late Bruce Lee and his own fighting expression of Jeet Kune Do. Like Bruce, I sought out numerous fitness activities which would make be a more efficient martial artist. When I saw this fantastic book (Bruce Lee: the art of expressing the human body compiled by John Little), for a bargain price I had to have it. It is one of the few books I have not read previously on Bruce Lee. This short review cannot due this book justice. If you desire to know the various exercise routines and equipment Bruce used to become super fighting fit, this is a must read book. Interestingly, in my own search I used many of the same sources when I was training seriously in the martial arts. Bruce did not seek out a bodybuilder’s hugeness but his hard muscular body was focused on creating more power and speed in his techniques. He sought out exercise programs from a wide variety of systems. Some of the many tools he used to build his strength and power include the following: Isometric (8 basic) exercises, barbells, dumbbells, kettle bells, circuit training routines, the Enter the Dragon routine for martial artists, abdominal exercises, forearm exercises, Bruce Lee’s top 7 exercises for the neck and shoulders, and his top exercises for building the chest, back, arms, legs and calves. He also had a routine when training with the heavy bag and numerous other exercise programs. If you desire to understand what it takes to be the best you can be in any martial art, this book is for you. Bruce Lee understood clearly the essential fitness factors that go into any martial art training routine. This book in my opinion is a classic on the training methods of the late Bruce Lee. Rating: 5 Stars. Joseph J. Truncale (Co-Author: The Monadnock (MDTS) Defensive Tactics System)

Full of great information about a very very fit man and his exercise philosophy
