Jun Fan Jeet Kune Do: The Textbook by Chris Kent & Tim Tackett (Revised Edition)

At last, a comprehensive resource textbook that shows the overall picture of Jeet Kune Do as a method of self-discovery and personal liberation. Numerous books have been written about the techniques of martial arts dealing with the basic tools of combat, such as punching, kicking, and blocking. However, this simple “how-to” approach is not enough to create a successful fighter. One may know how to punch and have adequate power, but without proper timing the punch may never score. One may know how to kick, but without a feeling for and understanding of correct distance the kick will not land. A martial artist may be able to punch, kick, or trap an opponent’s arm, but if they lack well-cultivated visual or tactile awareness abilities, they may not see or feel the opening when it occurs.

The purpose of Jun Fan/Jeet Kune Do – THE TEXTBOOK is to explore those qualities and combative motions that make the tools work at the highest levels of efficiency and effectiveness. Over 1,000 photographs illustrate and break down in detail material concerning Jeet Kune Do drawn directly from the hand-written notes and observations of Bruce Lee concerning physical techniques, training methods, strategic concepts, tactical principles, fitness training, and other subjects which he felt had validity for himself and his development as a martial artist, and which he compiled in a seven-volume series of journals titled “Commentaries on the Martial Way.”

For all martial artists, the ‘how to’ is important, but to be successful it is essential to understand the “why” and the “when.” Jun Fan/Jeet Kune Do – THE TEXTBOOK shares with you the “why” and the “when” as well as the “how.”
