| free download tao of jeet kune do ebook: Bruce Lee Jeet Kune Do Bruce Lee, 2020-09 Bruce Lee Jeet Kune Do is the iconic book presenting the martial art created by Bruce Lee as explained in the master's own words. In 1970, Bruce Lee suffered a back injury that confined him to bed. Rather than allowing this to slow his growth as a martial artist, he read feverishly on Eastern philosophy and Western psychology and self help books, constructing his own views on the totality of combat and life. It was during this time that Lee wrote 7 volumes containing his thoughts, ideas, opinions, and research into the art of unarmed combat, and how it applies to the everyday life. Some of this material was posthumously published in 1975, but much more existed. This landmark book serves as a more complete presentation of Bruce Lee's notes on his art of Jeet Kune Do. The development of his unique martial art form, its principles, core techniques, and lesson plans are presented here in Lee's own words. It also features Lee's illustrative sketches and his remarkable treatise on the nature of combat, success through martial arts, and the importance of a positive mental attitude in training. In addition, there are a series of Questions Every Martial Artist Must Ask Himself, that Lee posed to himself and intended to explore as part of his own development, but never lived to complete. Jeet Kune Do: A Comprehensive Guide to Bruce Lee's Martial Way is a book every Bruce Lee fan must have. |

| free download tao of jeet kune do ebook: The Tao of Bruce Lee Davis Miller, 2010-04-14 In this companion volume to his critically acclaimed first book, The Tao of Muhammad Ali, Davis Miller turns his attention to a second iconic figure of the twentieth century--and another of Miller's own seminal influences: film star and martial arts legend Bruce Lee. Just weeks after completing Enter the Dragon, his first vehicle for a worldwide audience, Bruce Lee--the self-proclaimed world's fittest man--died mysteriously at the age of thirty-two. The film has since grossed over $500 million, making it one of the most profitable in the history of cinema, and Lee has acquired almost mythic status. Lee was a flawed, complex, yet singular talent. He revolutionized the martial arts and forever changed action moviemaking. But what has his legacy truly meant to the fans he left behind? To author Davis Miller, Lee was a profound mentor and a transformative inspiration. As a troubled young man in rural North Carolina, Miller was on a road to nowhere when he first saw Enter the Dragon, an encounter that would lead him on a physical, emotional, and spiritual journey and would change his life. As in The Tao of Muhammad Ali, Miller brilliantly combines biography--the fullest, most unflinching and revelatory to date--with his own coming-of-age story. The result is a unique and compelling book. From the Hardcover edition. |

So much has been written about Bruce Lee—the martial arts superstar whose combination of strength, agility and charisma are legendary—but seldom are we able to see beneath the veneer of Lee's public image to view his inner self. Bruce Lee Letters of the Dragon does just that—offering a highly personal view of the man through the letters he wrote to his close friends and family from his teenage years right up until his untimely death in 1973 at the tender age of 32. This unparalleled collection of Bruce Lee's personal correspondence begins with his high school days in Hong Kong and continues throughout the period when he was working as a successful actor in America and Hong Kong, right up until the time he died. During this period he was also developing radically new concepts about Asian martial arts—including his own Jeet Kune Do martial arts system. In these letters, we can see all the optimism, tenacity, integrity and intense loyalty for which Bruce Lee is known and adored by millions of fans today. More than a fascinating chronicle of his rise to superstardom, these letters offer intimate glimpses of the artist, husband, father and friend behind the legend.

Principles and concepts that ALL Martial Artists - regardless of style - can use in their daily training. In fact, most of these principles are used everyday by all martial artists around the world, and most like speed and timing, are not unique to the art of Jeet Kune Do. The purpose of this book is to explain some of these principles and share some ideas on how to train for them. Some are principles like the use of distance and broken rhythm in combat, while others are sayings on combat by the founder of JKD Bruce Lee that perfectly illustrate a principle or a fighting idea. To understand the root, you need to understand the principles. The principles of Jeet Kune Do are universal, but unfortunately these principles are no longer stressed as much anymore, because there is too much focus on technique alone, and seeing how many techniques you can add to your toolbox. The purpose of this work is to discuss some of the principles that the art of JKD focuses on, and to give you some examples to put those principles in action. The hope of this book is that you do the same with the main techniques you either are studying or teaching - regardless of your style. |

Understanding Jeet Kune Do is vastly different from the books on Bruce Lee's martial art that have preceded it, offering a fresh and simple look at the mystery that is Jeet Kune Do. In Understanding Jeet Kune Do, author Jason Korol demonstrates: -that Jeet Kune Do is the science of self-defense - not a mere concept or, for that matter, just a conglomeration of other arts. -what the basis for a rationally consistent method of self-defense is and how Bruce Lee's Jeet Kune Do is consistent with that method. -a logically consistent definition of self-defense and explore its ethical, technical, and strategic corollaries. -why certain aspects of Lee's Jeet Kune Do must be taught as is - as the foundation of the method - or else it ceases to be Jeet Kune Do. Understanding Jeet Kune Do will have a unique appeal to Jeet Kune Do enthusiasts and the average martial artist that wants to gain a better understanding about the art of Jeet Kune Do. |

| free download tao of jeet kune do ebook: Jeet Kune Do Foundations Jason Korol, 2018-05-04 It's easy to see the reality of violence. It's easy to see that it isn't choreographed and that highly complex routines won't work under the pressures of a real fight because bad guys don't stand still and cooperate. Moreover, it's easy to see that real fights aren't sporting matches or sparring contests either. Yes, this is all obvious to the person who wants to learn a method in order to protect themselves against a real threat. What isn't so easy is finding a method that takes all these things seriously and gives you the simple truth of the matter. That was, in fact, exactly what the late Bruce Lee sought when he developed his ingenious fighting method, Jeet Kune Do. His brilliance wasn't only in his movies but also in the fact that he understood the root of the issue. And what's that? Simple - that the whole goal is keeping yourself as safe as possible and the best defense is a good offense and the best offense is a scientific counter-attack. Thus, the heart of JKD is the intercepting/stopping fist (or foot). Most methods give you dozens - even hundreds - of techniques. JKD favors the straight punch and kick. The entire system is a set-up for the basics and once they're understood and practiced properly they can be expertly deployed by anyone. In Jeet Kune Do Foundations you'll find these basics and you'll learn the underlying philosophy that sets Lee's intercepting fist method apart. And you'll learn the importance and necessity of JKD's integration of the ready position, footwork and striking. To not understand this critical principle at the heart of JKD is to not understand JKD. Each aspect both relies on and supports the other. The ready position is ready to both hit and move; the unique footwork is designed to effortlessly transport the ready position without disrupting it. And JKD's power-side forward straight hits fire without telegraphing or disrupting the ready position/footwork connection while attacking the enemy's weakest targets. Literally everything else in the system is in orbit around this technical/tactical integrative foundation and once you get it, defending yourself will be much, much easier. While the ebook version of Foundations has links to short videos to explain the techniques, this, the hard copy, includes dozens of photos not in the ebook version to bring the material to life. Also covered are two critically important aspects of self-defense left out of most volumes: pre-fight and post-fight management. Every serious self-defense student must study deescalation tactics as well as the art of fighting without fighting - that is, the ability to win the fight by recognizing the behaviors that trigger violence in the first place. Learning how not to be in the fight is as important, and maybe more so, than mastering the fighting techniques themselves. And you'll also learn what to do AFTER the fight too. Certain pre and post-fight actions can get you thrown in jail. Think about it. It doesn't do you any good to defeat one knucklehead and then end up in a cell with ten more like him...or go bankrupt defending yourself legally for your actions. Many people are sitting in jail cells, their lives ruined, because they got into a fight and thought their only enemy was the other guy(s) and weren't trained to think about the legal ramifications of their actions and words. So, if you're serious about truly learning a real-world self-defense system, Jeet Kune Do Foundations is for you. |

I feel that it would be impossible to learn this from your instructor, as he will mainly focus on what works best for him. I have been fortunate to have learned from many of the senior students of Bruce Lee and have noticed that they all focus on certain things and not on what some the others are doing. For some it may be the boxing aspects. For some it may be footwork. For others it was trapping energy and the Wing Chun elements. It was only when we started focusing on the Western fencing aspects of JKD that I was able to understand and focus on what has become my essence of JKD. Of course, an instructor cannot just hand you what will become your essence or foundation of your own JKD. This is something that you must discover for yourself as you work to become more a more efficient JKD practitioner. The purpose of this book is too show you most of what we teach in my garage and the basic principles behind each. Once you have worked on these you will come to realize what will work for you and what will not. Some of you will want to focus on distance and footwork. Others will feel comfortable crashing the line. Whatever works for you is the main thing. Just use the book as guideline to discover your own essential JKD. |

The basic elements of the style — stances, footwork, upper body and lower body techniques, and grappling are all well represented and defined. Building upon this solid groundwork, the book informs readers of the five ways of attack, including the single direct attack, the attack by combination, the progressive indirect attack, the attack by drawing, and the hand immobilization attack. Fighting instructions include the tactical considerations of Jeet Kune Do practice such as defenses, counterattacks, and sparring. The book concludes with a comprehensive list of resources to help students further develop their knowledge of and training in Jeet Kune Do. Compact and easy-to-read, this book gives readers everything they'll need to start their practice of this important fighting art. |
