Customer Rating: Summary: The real JKD Comment: Just got this book today. Great book. I have been taking Jeet Kune Do for about 2 years now. This is exactly the kind of stuff we practice, the real JKD, as taught by Bruce Lee to Jerry Poteet and Dan Inosanto, and the early students. The book is not cluttered with unnecessary text, and has lots of clear photos demonstrating the right and wrong way to do each technique. The author demonstrates things like the finger strike (Bil Gee), straight lead, low-line attacks (kicks), the straight blast (jik cheung chui), the backfist (which is very important in JKD, and is banned in western boxing, because it is so effective and powerful !), footwork, groundfighting, "cutting into the tool", intercepting any movement by the attacker, bob and weave, slipping, etc. etc. etc. All intersperced with reminiscenses and quotes from Bruce Lee.
Really good JKD book, on the real JKD.
