Book review. Bruce Lee the author of this book tried to mark the most important qualities how to make yourself a good fighter

Bruce Lee the author of this book tried to mark the most important qualities how to make yourself a good fighter,in addition how to protect yourself on the street. You must learn how to deal with every situation, which can happens whenever and wherever you are. Let"s imagine If you are in park and you will be attacked by a thug or burglar. You can run away, but what if your girlfriend is with you? What would you then? That"s why you should be in touch with it. Self defense is not fun. You must try to avoid being injuried or hurt some internal organs. You have to expect everything from everyone. The most important thing is to make your senses flow freely. Let your energy passing through your body and try to stay calm all the time. In this case It would be useless to tell you which technique you should use and then and then and then. You never use it to protect yourself. During fighting you would never imagine one technique you have practiced only a little of time. It is a long period of repetition to completely understand the real meaning of the martial art. This is only a basic principle of self-defense. You must aplly most effective weapons as soon as possible to the vulnerable points of your enemy. Do not forget to breathe freely and to be one with your body and soul as a one unseparatable thing in your life.

Yin & Yan the symbol of Tai Chi, two independent forces and two interlocking parts of one whole. The white part with black spot represents Yan and the black part with white spot represents Yin. The most common mistake of Western world is to consider these two forces as dualistic. That means Yin is opposite of Yan and vice versa. It is not possible to achieve such status like oneness with mind when you realise those ideas. Nothing can survive going to the extreme a long period of time, pure Yin(negativness) or pure Yan(positivness). Therefore a gung fu man should be soft, not yielding,neither firm not hard. A purpose of a chinese boxer is to reach a harmony between them. The best example of Yin and Yan is water. It can accept all kind of forms.

There are many styles and schools of Gung Fu, for example: Wing Chun, Wu shu, shaolin, Hung Gar, Choy lat fut. Every martial art uses a body as a excellent weapon to protect.In many cases, people forget to use it completely and improvize which causes loosing of mind status.

" If you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle it becomes the bottle. You put it into a tea pot, it becomes the teapot. Now water can flow or can crash. Be water my friend." This is an amazing speech by Bruce Lee who also wrote this book. Bruce Lee was born in 1940 in San Francisco, but he grew up in Honkong in China.He started to train a chinese gung fu, esspecially Wing Chun, when he was 13 years old under grandmaster Yip Man. He loved martial arts. He prefered better to be overtrained than not to be trained at all.After some years of studying martial arts, esspecially Wing Chun, Thai Chi, Judo, Karate, he developed a Jeet Kune Do. A martial art combining many styles but without artlesness. He found himself in Jeet Kunde Do, because he could express himself, that is the most important thing for every man who practice some martial art..He brought a real Tao of gung fu. He is a person, who has been the best in his art. In 1973, during a shoting his film Enter the dragon, suddenly fell to the ground. A few days later he died.He was only 33 years old. Nobody knew what had happend. It does not matter how he died, I respect him as the greatest martial artist of 20th century.(only if I concern Morihei Ueshiba to to previous century. It is no my priority to think about what could kill him, but how his personality made a evolution in the world´s martial arts.
