I’m delighted to note both the quantity and caliber of the material that has been gathered together in this book by my good friend and Bruce Lee historian, John Little. I met John back in 1993, and since then we have forged a close friendship with many training sessions and discussions together. We both share a common interest and goal in the art and philosophy of jeet kune do. With tireless energy, John has spent tremendous amounts of hours over the last four years of his life in putting together this book. He has made many personal sacrifices while enduring financial hardships. He has sifted through, read, and studied some six thousand pages of Bruce’s notes and personal papers and has read, studied and interviewed many of Bruce’s original students and friends with an eye toward finally putting together a multi-volume book series that will perfectly clarify Bruce Lee’s “commentaries on the martial way.”

I consider John Little to be one of the foremost individuals in terms of his knowledge of this subject matter, and his sincerity, respect, and loyalty for preserving and perpetuating Bruce’s true teachings have given new insight into the art of jeet kune do. We are very fortunate to have John take up the task of editing Bruce’s materials for future generations to learn about Bruce Lee and his art. More importantly, John wants to promote Bruce not just as a great martial artist, but also as a philosopher and a pointer of truth.
