Original typed notes by Bruce Lee used to compile some of the Bruce Lee Library—a series of volumes covering Bruce Lee’s life and martial arts system of Jeet Kune Do. Many of these writings were done during a single session which provided natural continuity. Lee had also kept various notes throughout the development of his combat philosophy and these would become the disparate notes used in the book. Many of these notes were “sudden inspirations” which were incomplete and lacked any kind of a construct. The combination of the “Core set of writings” and the “disparate notes” would be known as the text “The Tao of Jeet Kune Do”.

The Ideal City
1951
