Jeet Kune Do. The very name conjures images of the late Bruce Lee destroying opponents on the movie screen. But what is jeet kune do? Is it Bruce Lee's personal expression in combat? Is it a style? Is it a process? Chris Kent, one of jeet kune do's most accomplished practitioners, seeks to answer these questions. According to Kent, while Bruce Lee felt there shouldn't be a fixed system of fighting, he did believe there is a progressive approach to training mastering martial skills. In this book, Kent reveals Lee's training methods and philosophies - the same methods and philosophies that made him unbeatable in unarmed combat. With over 400 dynamic photographs, this volume is a virtual encyclopedia of jeet kune do techniques.

"Jeet Kune Do -- The TEXTBOOK" shows the overall picture of Jeet Kune Do as a 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" approach 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 proper visual awarenss they might not see the opening when it occurs. The purpose of "Jeet Kune Do -- THE TEXTBOOK" is to explore those qualities and combative motions that make the tools work. Over 1000 NEW photographs illustrate the art taken from several volumes of hand-written notes and observations made by some of the finest Jeet Kune Do exponents in the world. It is qualities such as balance, precision, speed, awareness, distance and attitude that make the tools found in JKD work so well. The "how to" will always be important, but to be successful also takes the discovering of "why" and "when." Authors Chris Kent and Tim Tackett, world-renown for their decades of teaching Jeet Kune Do, lead you on a journey that will expose to the reader the various aspects of "the way of the intercepting fist" and allow them to see the overall picture.

The legendary Bruce Lee was one of the most influential martial artists of the 20th Century. But Lee's physical abilities were only the tip of the iceberg. Besides being one of the world's top martial artists and cinematic superstar, Bruce Lee was also a philosopher and one of the original champions of self-help and human achievement. As Lee evolved his revolutionary, "non-restrictive" approach to martial art training and combat, he simultaneously evolved a unique, non-restrictive philosophy toward life and living. Built around the same fundamental principles he applied to his martial art, the central theme of this philosophy is "personal liberation" -- liberation of body, mind, and spirit through greater self-knowledge. Here, for the first time, are the fundamental tenets of Lee's philosophy of self-actualization and personal liberation taken out of the martial arts arena and put into the arena of daily living. A ground-breaking guide, LIBERATE YOURSELF doesn't offer you a set, rigid, one-size-fits-all philosophy, but rather a fluid set of operating principles you can use to cultivate a flexible, highly adaptable attitude toward living life to its fullest, develop the skills and confidence required to free yourself from the chains of limitation, whether of physical or psychological origin, and raise your living to the level of an art form. LIBERATE YOURSELF can help you: * Become more at ease with yourself and the world around you * Take charge of your attitude and fully realize your innate potential in all aspects of your life * Adapt to and deal effectively with whatever situation you find yourself in * Break down barriers and overcome obstacles that keep you from achieving your goals and enjoying success
