The Straight Lead
By Teri Tom, Forwards by Ted Wong and Shannon Lee Keasler
|
|
|
 |
|

|
|
 |
|
|
|
This is an outstanding book! Ms. Tom, a certified Instructor under
Ted Wong, does a beautiful job explaining the scientific approach
that Bruce Lee took in his evolution of JKD, and of course, in
specific the straight lead. This book contains a wealth of
knowledge. Ms Tom's research is meticulous and her depictions
make absolute sense.

Artist of Life
Book VI of the Bruce Lee Library - compiled and edited by John Little
|
|
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
Most of us are on a limmited budget, so if you are looking to buy
one book at a time, start here. In my opinion, Artist of Life pools
much of the essence of Bruce Lee's writing and phylosophy. I find
myself refering to this book on a regular basis.

Letters of the Dragon
Book V of the Bruce Lee Library - also edited by John Little
|
|
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
This book gives you a unique look at Bruce Lee's actual letters. Before
there was e-mail, cellular telephones, pagers, or overnight mail. Even
telephone calls were not the norm in many parts of the world; the
written word was the most common form of communication. I find
this book to be a fascinating view of Bruce Lee's world through his eyes.

On Fencing
By Aldo Nadi
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
On Fencing was originally published in 1943 and then republished in
2005. Nadi was an Olympic Champion and modern fencing
trailblazer; a great among greats. This book was a part of Bruce
Lee's personal library. When delving into the fencing aspects of
JKD much can be gleamed from its pages; this book is a must.

Decedents of the Dragon
By Paul Bax
|
|
|
|
This book is a collection of interviews conducted by Paul Bax of
second generation instructors under original students of Bruce Lee.
Sadly, the ranks of Bruce Lee’s original students lessen with the
recent passing of Mr. Hartsell; the fact is we will all one day join the
founder. This adds to the importance of a book such as this;
practitioners of JKD have their personal opinions of what is or is not
the art of Jeet Kune Do, but we ALL share equal passion for the
same. For more information click here: http://outskirtspress.

Your Offense
Your offense should be simple and direct because it may
be hard to control.
But against someone who can project a complex attack
should be your role.
Timing, the key to a complex attack,
must be practiced until you have the knack.
The feint should be just enough to distract and create an
opening so you can act.
(Bruce Lee's Fighting Method Vol 4)
