Still, within the pages of this book you will find many of Bruce Lee’s never-before-published insights into the world of martial arts. There is much wisdom in these words, gleamed from written and recorded sources not available previously. These “commentaries on the martial way” (the subtitle of this book was actually taken from the title he gave to his seven volumes of personal writings) will serve to provide you with additional insights into the totality of the man’s soul, his thoughts on martial art, on the creation of his own martial art and philosophy of jeet kune do, as well as many of his personal, private, and public lesson plans that he implemented for the correct teaching of his art during his lifetime.

It has taken this author over three years to research all of the existing materials of Bruce Lee (although in truth, I’ve been studying Lee and his writings for well over two decades), and another year to edit them into the manuscript that became this book. I have kept my own thumbprint off the body of the text, so that, apart from this prefatory material, it is only Bruce Lee’s words that you will be reading, recorded here exactly as he spoke or wrote them. Where Lee simply jotted down a thought or a sentence, it has been left to stand exactly as he wrote it in the hopes that the spirit of his intention will be fully preserved.
