Excellent Book!
Excellent book by Bruce Lee that shows advanced methods that go beyond the "Basic Training" and "Skills In Techniques" books. This book covers attacking and defensive moves and various ways to use what you should have learned in the previous two books. Techniques show ways of attacking with punches, kicks, etc. as well as more defenses and counters. Excellent book if you have already studied the previous two books. Other books I'd recommend based on his fighting style would be the rest of this series, as well as "The Bruce Lee Library" series by John Little. The "Tao Of Jeet Kune Do" is also an excellent book that includes his own personal notes and thoughts about his fighting art.

straight to the point!
this book is dealing with the advanced boxing skills of jeet kune do. i agree with one of the reviewers that said that this book can be looked in 1 hour,but,,,to master those sparring skills is taking a few years. the magnificent side-kick is also shown and explained and the overall book represents the full contact boxing and sparring of the art of jeet kune do.many photos are shown as well as explanation.great book!

Another good book in a series.
This is a book that is almost immediatly applicable to a point sparring situation, but also just good for learning one-on-one fighting techniques. I think the only "advanced" principle is feinting, and maybe the parts on stop-hitting and dealing with different kinds of fighters. I consider this book as part of a whole, although it can stand alone for the average martial artist. The basic techniques, such as the side kick and backfist, are probably familiar to most "hard" stylists, but I think the idea of having your dominant side forward, and striking primarily with your lead weapons, may be new to some. This approach to JKD emphasises fluidity and adaptability, and some of that comes out in this text. I would recomend also picking up the other books in this series, as well as "Tao of Jeet Kune Do" for a more complete coverage of this unique style.
