Title: Read it only if you want a general view of kung-fu
Review: I got the book in christmas, and, as the book cover reads, I expected to obtain kung-fu phylosophy. Unfortunately, half the book contains Carradine's biography and the other half contains just a little part of what kung-fu phylosophy really is. Also criticizes Bruce Lee for being more and actor than a martial artist, which is exactly what should be criticized on Carradine. As he himself explains, D.C. is NOT a great martial artist or kung-fu expert, but feels able to comunicate the little bit he knows. If you only want to learn a bit on kung-fu phylosophy, read it. But if you really want to learn the art, start by Bruce Lee's Tao of Jeet Kune Do and Tao of Gung-fu. Those books contain a lot of pure, deep kung-fu phylosophy written by a serious martial artist.
