There are many pleasures to be derived from a book on quotations. There is the relief of finding something that has been buzzing in our minds, there is also the pleasure of finding some thought of which we approve but which we have not managed to express clearly and there is a purely retrospective delight. Of course, wisdom is meaningless until our own experience has given it meaning. While words are not substitutes for the difficult physical and mental training required to master the martial arts, they are a relevant aspect of the transmission and the learning process of every student. Jeet Kune Do Wisdom is an anthology of the best words said by the great teachers of the art developed by Bruce Lee. It examines different elements of the art, including its tradition, philosophy, general training, self- defense, et cetera. If you, the reader, find this work useful as both a guide and a reference work and discover some unexpected sayings, the book will have served its purpose.

A repertoire of historical figures such as Rickson Gracie, Jean Jacques Machado, Royce Gracie, Rigan Machado, Fabio Gurgel, Carlos Gracie Jr., and numerous contemporary world-class masters and fighters such as Vitor Belfort, Renato Magno, Carlos "Caique" Elias, Luis Heredia and Andre Galvao amongst others, have been gathered in this unique work. The interviews contain intriguing thoughts, fascinating personal details, hidden histories, and revealing philosophies. In this volume, each Jiu Jitsu master reveals a true love for the art and a deep understanding of every facet associated with the practice and spirit of the Jiu Jitsu style originated in Brazil. No matter how well you think you know these masters of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, you haven''t really experienced their wit, wisdom, and insight until you''ve read Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Masters.  Any martial arts practitioner who appreciates Jiu Jitsu history and philosophy, and who feels that this rich heritage is a necessary stepping-stone to personal growth, will find this book an invaluable reference and a "must have" addition to their personal library.
