Reviews

[John Grace · Rating 3 out of 5]

Slim collection of Bruce articles from Black Belt magazine, most published before his untimely death. Interesting in that no article in this volume claims he's a martial arts master, a profound philosopher, the greatest of all time or that the KUNG FU teleseries was written for him. And that includes the rambling article penned by Bruce himself. He was just a charismatic, rising star and gifted martial artist that left us too soon. Decades have led to a mythological expansion of his legend that is distasteful and does not help the martial arts at all.
