    The first time I saw Bruce was at the now famous 1964 Long Beach International Karate Championships. Were at the at the invitation of Ed Parker, A good friend of mine, I witness an extraordinary human being.
    At this tournament Bruce demonstrated 2 finger push ups, one inch punch and fighting skills.

    The second time I saw Bruce was at the 1967 Long Beach International Karate Championships. The last time I saw Bruce in person was a gathering of martial artist at a school in LA were he stood in front of about 25 students and taught and showed of his skills. I've seen Bruce ability close up and I would not fight Bruce Lee if he spat in my face. He was that good. If you fought Bruce lee he would probable overwhelm you with intense vigor trying to intentionally destroy you. This really doesn't matter unless you have the skill, he did. Now The Art of Expressing the Human Body is a compilation of Bruce lee's hand written work out routine from early sixties until his untimely death in 1973. This book is well organized and carefully compiled to preserve Bruce Lee's true intension. This covers all aspects of Bruce lees work out from nutrient to isometrics.

    If you watch Bruce lee movies then you should know the lengths of Bruce lee's abilities. However there is a such thing as camera tricks that may make people want to dispute Bruce's unbelievable abilities .However this is not the case because if you look at him in demonstration on Honk Kong Television you will see some amazing feat of strength occurring. For example breaking 1 inch thick boards with a punch delivered from only a few cm's away. Or breaking 5 daggling 1 inch boards with a side kick. This, my friend, is very hard to do. This book shows you through Bruce's hand written work out routine how he accomplished it. Bruce lee started his martial arts training at the age of 13 first by his farther then by the now legendary Master Yip Man. This training lasted to the age of 18 when he moved to the United States. On his arrival in the states he drastically started looking into the development of the body for martial arts and not just the development of the skill for martial arts. His hungry for the knowledge of all things regarding to physical development lead him to amass a colossal library of over 3,500 (My listamania on books Bruce Lee read) . Over 140 of those books had to do with body building weight training, physiology and kinesiology ,wear he just absorb what he needed and dismissed what he did not. Over years of research Bruce had compiled from different resources a multitude of journals describing different exercises and workouts which increased his power, strength ,flexibility. Bruce lee was in tune with what exact muscle groups he wanted. and how he could do it. He soon realized that conventional exercise machine could not work all the muscle groups which he wanted to work. So he created several original designs of his own training equipment and had his friend George Lee build them to his specifications.
