JKD - The Code of Bruce Lee Book by Fernando Matsunaga

This book presents the martial arts aspects according to the perspective Bruce Lee had on the combat, especially the effects of its reality. However, as the reader goes on with through the pages, he/she will notice that the combat is not a mere bodily disposition of the victorious and physical attitudes, but a matter of the own genesis in life. This books works as a guide to the understanding of the art, whose life only exists in the practice of its physical and mental action. The technical studies of the combative biomechanics presented in this book are meant as a way of informing the reader about the investigation perimeters and the personal clarification of the art in the martial arts. I will show through the content that follows, the existence of a code that Bruce Lee intended to leave us, one that provides the keys that open the door for a highly fruitful lucid and extremely enlightening life. The strength in which Bruce Lee lived his life in search of his personal development and the dictates of the existential philosophy, transcend his short period of life in the world. Impetuous and young, Lee built a legacy that resonates to the current days, not as something of his own, but as a view towards the world and the martial arts, one that had never been seen up until then. Through his path, Bruce Lee taught us how to acquire more knowledge over the practitioner’s dilemmas in martial arts and its rational aspects, clearly described in the combative reality’s perspective and the evidence of its effects. However, some crazy fuss took place after Bruce Lee’s death, messing up with the form Jeet Kune Do should be analyzed and practiced. Those misunderstandings and misconceptions and the way they harmly influence the true comprehension of this philosophy will be elicited in this book.
