Bruce Lee's Classic Chinese Gung Fu Refurbished and Re-Released |
This new edition of the landmark book gives martial arts enthusiasts and collectors exactly what they want: more . In addition to the master’s insightful explanations on gung fu, this book features digitally enhanced photography, previously unpublished pictures with Lee’s original handwritten notes, a brand-new front and back cover, and introductions by widow Linda Lee Cadwell and daughter Shannon Lee. This new modern edition of the 1963 classic preserves the authority and charm of Lee’s original language. This official reproduction––as sanctioned by Shannon Lee and Bruce Lee Enterprises––features Chinese characters written by the author and painstakingly scanned for this project as well as vintage photographs from Lee’s personal collections. Chinese Gung Fu also comes to life through captioned photo sequences and Lee’s own hand-drawn diagrams that demonstrate a variety of training exercises and fighting techniques, ranging from basic gung fu stances, waist and leg training, single- and multiple-opponent scenarios as well as an essay on the theory of yin and yang.
In addition, the new book includes the testimonials from the first edition by James Y. Lee, the legendary Ed Parker, and jujutsu icon Wally Jay as well as contemporary introductions by Linda Lee Cadwell and Shannon Lee to help contextualize this iconic work. Recently discovered pictures from a lost photo session, which are described by Lee in his own handwriting, round out this new edition of Chinese Gung Fu. We thoroughly enjoyed recreating this timeless classic by one of the greatest masters in martial arts.
