i dont read from beginning to end, u just skip around when u decide u wanna learn something, read a few pages
some of the stuff focuses on body building COMPETITIONS, so i don’t bother with that, like how to POSE etc
everything else is 100% useful

bruce lee \> \* in SO MANY WAYS
i plan on inventing my own martial art so to speak, just using only moves that are perfect for my style and body movement, so i guess, id never teach anyone, cuz it would only truly work for me…id love to become more and more efficient at absolutely every strike and defense, as well as ground work
