for x-mas i got the fight techniques books that bruce lee's, i think wife, published and i have a question for all of you:
one of his punching techniques uses the last 3 knuckle. isn't that a little dangerous? those knuckles are much weeker. i know that ideally you are suppose to work up your resistance with various exercises, but is there really a great benefit to using the three knuckles over the normal first two? it would take a long time to refine and strengthen, and your power is spread over three knuckles in stead of just two.
Its fine as long as your not hitting them in the fore head...Jeet kune do style punches i have found to be extremely effective if you know how to work your angles...The additional reach you obtain is priceless imo...I just think you better watch your chin because it leaves you a little more exposed
Was the book the 'Tao of Jeet Kune Do'? I have it, it seems much more philosophy than refining technique as it only has brief explanations of some of the techniques.
no, i think it is called basic fighting techniques... it is a series that explains the techniques, there are four volumes, i am reading the second one right now. i skipped the first one because it is about self-defence and i know so many that it kinda bores me. if any one has read the first book let me know if it is worth getting, or whether it is too basic.

Interesting, I'll have to check that out. Do you have an ISBN number for it?
This was actually a debate that came up a while ago. Basically it ended up with people realizing that Bruce Lee would not have classified Jeet Kune Do as a Chinese style because he would not classify it as either Chinese or a style. If memory serves, Complete basically put it in with Chinese styles because it had to go somewhere and Chinese best represented the nationality of Bruce Lee (even though he put everything together in America).
the nationality of the person doesn't have anything to do with where the art was formed. And martial arts are classified by the country they were formed in. Most american martial arts are heavliy influed by other countries martial arts and sometimes there founders are from those counrty. But Regardless of anything it was an art founded in America.
