Editorial Review:
Bruce Lee, the legend of martial arts and motion pictures, first studied Wing Chun Kung Fu in Hong Kong under the tutelage of Yip Man. When he came to the United States, Lee developed a concept of martial arts for the individual man that he labeled Jeet Kune Do - the way of the intercepting fist. His first book, The Tao of Jeet Kune Do, became a standard in the martial arts field. It was followed by Bruce Lee s Fighting Method a series of four volumes complied by Lee s friend and student M. Uyehara. This DVD covers the first two volumes of Lee s fighting method Basic Training and Self-Defense Techniques. Topics include warm-ups, basic exercises, on-guard positions, footwork, power training, speed training and self-defense techniques. Demonstrating the techniques in this DVD presentation are Ted Wong and Richard Bustillo. Wong trained with Lee toward the later stages of Jeet Kune Do s development, becoming Lee s last major private student. He appeared with Lee in the photo techniques of the Bruce Lee s Fighting Method books and is considered to be Lee s protégé, being one of four to receive direct certification from Lee. After Lee s death, Wong chose not to teach Jeet Kune Do publicly, instead establishing a semiprivate, nonprofit school in San Francisco in 1990. Bustillo is the director and co-founder of the International Martial Arts and Boxing Academy in Carson, California. He has more than 30 years of experience in the martial arts, is a senior instructor of Lee s Jeet Kune Do concepts and as a member of the Black Belt Hall of Fame, is always in high demand on the international martial arts seminar circuit.
Bruce Lee's Fighting Method: Basic Training & Self Defense Techniques Reviews:
Great reference for Bruce Lee's Fighting Method 
2009-09-23 - I recently decided to learn some JKD basics and started by purchasing the new collective edition of Bruce Lee's Fighting Method: The Complete Edition. BLFM is Bruce's original teachings on JKD. This video is a very good adaptation of the basics covered in the book, and accompanies it very well. The part that I had a hard time with in the book is the southpaw stance (on-guard position) used in JKD. I really needed some visual guidance. JKD basic techniques (movements, lunges, kicking and punching) are covered well here and will help you better understand the information in the book. The only problem is the short length of the video (about 52 minutes) and its price.
Bruce Lee's Fighting Method 
2009-05-16 - I have all of Bruce Lee's books and movies--this dvd is a big help in trying to decipher the book. I do recommed.
Master the Art of Fighting in your own Living Room
2009-03-12 - Excellent companion video to the Bruce Lee Fighting Methods books that are now available in one handsome hardcover edition. Bruce Lee's Fighting Method: The Complete Edition
Black Belt Magazine has done a fine job of showing how Lee's techniques and training ideas come to life from the pages. Its one thing to see and read through the text and try to figure out how its suppose to look. You really need to see it to get the complete picture.
This is Bruce's real fighting art. There are no camera tricks, battle yells, or flying jump kicks. This is a nonsense realistic approach to combat and how to prepare for it. If your used to seeing Lee fight in one of his many Hong Kong fighting movies, you may be surprised at how he really viewed combat. Most of his kicks were below the waist, unless playing around in a light hearted sparring session, then higher head kicks would be used. Punches from his Wing Chun background as also put to good use.
The most practical section has to be on how to bring it all together and use it for self defense. Most of the self defense moves from Bruce Lee's Fighting Method Self Defense Bruce Lee's Fighting Method, Vol. 1: Self-Defense Techniques are shown. How to execute them when dealing with a variety of different attacks.
This instructional DVD is a must have for getting the complete picture that the books only present the first half of.
I'm sure it's great....
2008-10-13 - First off, It's my fault for taking so long to get to this DVD. College and other issues = lack of personal time. When I did pop it into the DVD player I found one large problem.
Audio.
It begins just fine for about 30 seconds (after selecting play in the title menu). After which it just repeats that first small audio segment while the video it self keeps on going. Unfortunately I cannot return it. But I can warn you to check it out as soon as it arrives at your home.
Looks great though. Appears to have everything you would want, from the people you want showing you these techniques. I'll just have to spend $30 on another DVD.
FANTASTIC INTRODUCTION AND/OR REFERENCE FOR JEET KUNE DO PRACTITIONERS... These are two masters...
2007-08-17 - This is a very well put together film, featuring two of Bruce Lee's original students Ted Wong and Richard Bustillo, who will help your education in Bruce Lee's art. You will be a more proficient fighter after experimenting with the techniques learnt in the film. The film gets you going you by taking you through a warm up and then basic exercises that can be practiced alone or with a partner. You will then be shown fundamentals such as stancing, footwork, punches, kicks, power and speed training and later a self defence section that give you an example of how some of these techniques can be applied in an actual fighting situation. This film is essentially a video adaptation of the book, Bruce Lee's Fighting Method Volume 2. For experienced martial artists it is certainly worth watching for the reason of viewing some of the methods presented in action, and the film is a wonderful supplementation for begginers and experienced practitioners. The video is certainly helpful and will prove to be a useful aid in your jeet kune do training! Highly reccomended!
