The Way of No Way: Solving the Jeet Kune Do Riddle Book by Jerry Beasley (Preowned)

"What is JKD?"

The magazine editor who posed this question was probably not the first--nor was he the last- -to do so. How do vou pin down an art whose founder, Bruce Lee, said had "no boundaries and referred to as "the way of no way"? When Lee died, he left behind a legacy, but he also left a multitude of mysteries, riddles, and puzzles.

In this book, Jerry Beasley, a martial arts scholar who trained extensively with JKD champion Joe Lewis and has dedicated years to the practice and study of JKD, uses scientific methods to sort the pieces and solve the puzzle. This work may well represent the first objective study and analysis of the art and practice of JD by someone outside "the family."

[KD is not simply a matter of joining this organization or that, or studying this art with that instructor. JKD is the freedom to react, the knowledge to respond, and the ability to discover. If you possess those qualities, you need no one's approval or recognition. You are JKD. Your thirst for knowledge will lead you to many paths and introduce you to many teachers. Each experience will be unique. And now, as Lee was fond of saying,

"Walk on." Your journey begins today.
