Interesting Book

March 30 2008, 10:04 PM 

I got this book many years ago the first time that it was released. It had a lot of somewhat questionable and controversial issues, but the author offered $25,000.00 to anyone who could disprove anything in the book. He got NO challengers on his offer ... NONE! The book was quite an interesting read! In fact, I couldn't put it down other than to rest my eyes a few times. I read the whole book in one afternoon! I guess it goes to show that Bruce Lee was human too!

I think that, to take anything in that book at face value is not the best of ideas. First, Tom (author) is not unbiased. He had an axe to grind. Check into his break up with Linda, etc. Second, he seems - to me anyway - to think JKD is not as good as, say, Kenpo. What better way to bring an art down a peg than to create/bring up controversy about it's founder?

Also, I think the 25k offer is kind of silly - how would anyone "disprove" any of this? It's a good way to make what you are saying appear to have more weight.

Personally, I think that some of it is probably true, and some of it is certainly untrue. Just my opinion. I wouldn't trust the source, basically.

Do I think Bruce was superhuman and had no faults? No. I bet he did. Still, again, the source.
