Jun Fan/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 which 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.
The purpose of "Jeet Kune Do -- THE TEXTBOOK" is to explore the qualities and combative motions that make the tools work. Authors Chris Kent and Tim Tackett, world-renowned fJeet Kune Do instructors, 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.
Co-authored with fellow JKD instructor, Tim Tackett, Chris' first book, Jeet Kune Do Kickboxing covers in detail the kickboxing element of Bruce Lee's martial art. Included are chapters covering hand and foot tool development, the five ways of attack, counterattack and defense, kickboxing training drills, and more.
