In January 1974, just six months after the death of its star, Bruce Lee, Enter the Dragon was unleashed on a British public yet to witness the famous Kung Fu Craze of the 1970s. Released in the UK three months after it's North American premiere, the public flocked to the cinemas in their thousands, sparking the Kung Fu revolution in Britain.Made on a modest US $1m budget, Enter the Dragon has gone on to become one of the most profitable movies in history, having grossed an estimated US $400m as of 2023. It has become the defining film of it's genre and has attained such a level of importance that it was selected for preservation in the National Film Library in the United States.Fifty years on from it's North American release, we celebrate the success and longevity that Enter the Dragon has achieved with a collection of writings about the making of the movie, it's stars and it's continued appeal.

Bruce Lee was a man of startling contradictions. His creation of Jeet Kune Do - his own personal expression of the martial arts - firmly established him as a master. This book is an analysis and an appreciation of the man who truly became a legend in his own time; a warrior whose every thought, word, and action was aimed toward a more perfect combination of philosophy and the art of fighting. Here is all that is known of the innermost secrets of the incomparable combatant, Bruce Lee; a man who dared to transcend the ancient disciplines and shape them into his own image. The Wisdom of Bruce Lee was one of the first books to present Bruce Lee's philosophy on life and the martial arts.Written by Roger Hutchinson and Felix Dennis in 1976, The Wisdom of Bruce Lee was never published in the UK, despite a direct marketing strategy in the famous Kung-Fu Monthly poster magazine.As part of the Kung-Fu Monthly Archive Series, The Wisdom of Bruce Lee is published for the first time in the UK with a history of the book and an exclusive interview with the original author, Roger Hutchinson.

Originally released in 1976 by Kung-Fu Monthly, The Secret Art of Bruce Lee represented a milestone in the history of the martial arts. At the time of its publication, it was almost the sole surviving photographic record of Bruce Lee's martial arts, Jeet Kune Do, as demonstrated by Lee himself.After lying forgotten for more than a decade, the never-before-published photographs in this book were probably the finest illustration of his art that Bruce Lee left to us. To his countless fans and to the serious student their discovery is an exciting event. The accompanying text chronicles the development of Lee's art from its dog-eat-dog origins on the streets of Hong Kong to the perfection of techniques which only he really ever mastered. In addition, extended captions clarify sequential photographs, following through Lee's speciality kata, kicks, punches and weapon use. This action packed and important book is a unique, exclusive insight into the reality which lay behind Lee's reputation as the greatest martial artist of our time.For the first time in over forty years, The Secret Art of Bruce Lee has been re-released by Pit Wheel Press as part of the Kung-Fu Monthly Archive Series, in co-operation with Dennis Publishing.This edition has replaced ISBN 978-1-915414-07-6 which was discontinued due to dishonest and unreliable third party printers.

At the height of the Kung Fu Craze in 1970s Britain, Kung-Fu Monthly was the biggest selling Bruce Lee magazine in the world, even spawning a fan club that would be equally as successful.Kung-Fu Monthly was the longest-running Bruce Lee magazine of its kind anywhere in the world (by frequency and circulation). Such was it's success and popularity, that it was licensed throughout the world; in fourteen countries and in eleven languages. That doesn't even take into account the non-official bootlegs which appeared in Turkey and China. Kung-Fu Monthly would defy the odds and run for a decade, spanning seventy-nine issues plus special editions, books, clothing and other merchandise, all of which turned founder Felix Dennis into a millionaire in the process. Nothing has matched it before or since. It truly has stood the test of time and having done so, has reached legendary status.Kung-Fu Monthly is a snapshot of a time long gone; a time which original Bruce Lee fans remember with fondness and a time which new fans will hopefully discover.For the first time ever and with permission from Dennis Publishing, all issues of the poster magazine have been compiled and edited into three volumes as part of the Kung-Fu Monthly Archive Series, along with all other publications from 1974-1984.Kung-Fu Monthly The Poster Magazines Volume One covers issues 1-26 including the scarce black and white trade dummy edition plus an in-depth illustrated history of the publication during the years of 1973 to 1979.Black and White Paperback Edition (Colour Hardback Edition Available at www.kungfumonthly.uk)
