Product Description
The basic structures and principles of Jeet Kune Do (JKD), the martial arts system developed by the iconic Bruce Lee, are revealed in this insightful handbook. Step-by-step lessons illustrate JKD’s two basic stances and demonstrate how to perform fundamental footwork, kicking, countering, and defensive moves. The most effective aspects of JKD are highlighted, as are some of its lesser-known tools and approaches. This invaluable manual is a must-have for JKD novices and trained experts alike.

Great Book! October 6, 2008
E. Woodards (Gurnee, IL USA)
I am a TKD practitioner and former police officer who knows what works in real world applications. TKD is a fantastic art and I love it but just like all other martial arts that use forms and choreographed movements they are limited and not realistic. I always wanted to practice JKD because of it's fluidity and simplicity. This book is very concise and a easy read. The instructions are clear. I now combine my TKD experience with JKD and have never been happier as a martial artist. Well worth the money spent.
Another Great Jeet Kune Do Book! July 14, 2008

This is easily one of the best books on Jeet Kune Do that I have ever owned! I have all of Tim Tackett's books, and once again, he has not let me down! He and co-author Bob Bremer have presented in this volume some of the most valuable information on Bruce Lee's martial art ever put into print! The book is very well done, with precise, in-depth text and clear, well sequenced photographs. As a Full Instructor of Jeet Kune Do, I will be referring to this book as a teaching aid for years to come, and it is already required reading for all of my students! My suggestion to you is ... BUY IT NOW!

Chinatown Jeet Kune Do is a fantastic book well done. The WNG are the best when it comes to JKD. I am fortunate to have trained with Tim Tackett many times. He really knows his JKD and all his books and vids are great. Steve S. From NJ

Tim Tackett has done it again!
For more than 20 years, we have been able to depend on him to "tell it like it is".
Now with his newest book, he and co-author Bob Bremer have not let us down.
Bruce Lee's art is based on simplicity, directness and effectiveness, and Tim and Bob's book is the epitome of this.
All meat,no fluff or filler!
