Jeet Kune Do Secrets Book 1 by Jerry Poteet (Preowned)

While Bruce Lee's elegant and precise art of Jeet Kune Do has survived in some quarters, in other camps it has degenerated into endless drills, countless techniques or whatever form of "mixed martial arts" (all geared for sport) people wish to throw together.

Today, there are as many camps teaching their interpretations of Jeet Kune Do as there are definitions of Jeet Kune Do itself. Unfortunately, most of the interpretations have nothing to do with Bruce Lee's vision of Jeet Kune Do.

But one practitioner whose qualifications and motives will never be questioned is the great Jerry Poteet.

One of Bruce Lee's original Los Angeles Chinatown students, Jerry Poteet is among the privileged few who spent countless hours alone in the mid-1960s with Lee, discussing, studying, dissecting, experimenting and creating legitimate Jeet Kune Do.

The culmination of his lifelong devotion to the teachings of his teacher is Jerry Poteet's Jeet Kune Do Secrets, one of the most comprehensive and destined-to-be controversial works on Lee's "style of no style." Forget what you thought Jeet Kune Do was. Forget what you have been taught by second- and third-generation teachers. The techniques contained in this book come from Bruce Lee himself. His words, his movements, his teaching, his secrets.

By delving into the guiding principles of Jeet Kune Do, this book offers insights into the true inner workings of the art. The guiding principles of Simplicity, Economy of Motion, Longest Weapons to the Nearest Target, No Passive Moves and Attack the Attack will be shown in both correct and incorrect photo sequences.

Featuring more than 400 individual and application photos, Jerry Poteet's Jeet Kune Do Secrets is destined to become a Jeet Kune Do Bible for generations to come.
