This book offers another great alternative to the standard forms of exercising. I have even modified these exercises and incorporated the principles behind them into my own training routine.

Martial Arts Book Review: Bruce Lee's Fighting Method; Volume Three by Bruce Lee & M. Uyehara

Like any well written book, as much as you can learn from this book by reading it, you can learn just as much if not more by reading between the lines.
