The Jeet Kune Do Textbook by Chris Kent & Tim Tackett

At last, a textbook that shows the overall picture of Bruce Lee's method of self-discovery. Many books have been written about the techniques of martial arts. They deal with the basic tools of combat such as punching, kicking, and blocking. This "how to," however, is not enough to create a successful fighter.

One may know how to punch and have adequate power, but without the proper timing the punch will never score. One may know how to kick, but without a feeling for the proper distance the kick will never land. One may be able to punch and kick, but without the proper visual awareness he may not see the correct opening when it occurs.

The purpose of this book is to explore those qualities and combative motions that make the tools work. Over 1000 photographs illustrate the art taken from several volumes of handwritten notes and observations that Bruce Lee felt had validity for himself. As Bruce Lee wrote, "The 'how to' is important, but to be successful necessitates the why' and when'" This book is about the "why" and the "when" AND the "how to.
