Bruce Lee The Artwork of Expressing the Human Physique (Orphans’ Dwelling Cycle)

Excellent
This book was a very interesting and informative read for me.

If you are a Bruce Lee fan you will love this book. This is a book every martial artist would enjoy reading.
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)

Great for mindset molding
This book is great for understanding the philosophy and thought process of Bruce Lee while giving you some basic starting points to help you to produce your own system. This book does not include much when it comes to step by step walk-through workouts since Bruce didn’t believe that there was one set path to physical beauty. Each of us must tailor fit our workouts, diet, and lifestyle to fit our individual end goals. Plus, trial and error is primary in Bruce’s methods. He believed that his methods must always evolve with the breakthroughs of the time. So, view this book as a broad guide and a mind molding tool. You will need to supplement this book with more thorough work out manuals.

Truly informative and riveting.
This book is outstanding! If you are a martial artist, a fan of Bruce Lee or even a fitness enthusiast you will find this book full of wonderful information from the evolution of Bruce Lee’s workouts as he remained a constant pioneer of self improvement, loads of workout routines to add to your own or even his approach to nutrition. This book has loads of information to digest and review I am definitely glad to have this book in my collection. These types of books are definitely not my typical fancy but John Little has done an outstanding job compiling, organizing and making this book for all its detail. I really stress this is such an amazing book.

This book is awesome. This book help me for martial art practice and workouts.
