Book excerpt: 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.

Book excerpt: ie meisten Menschen kennen Bruce Lee nur von seinen Filmen und sehen ihn nur als Schauspieler, aber er war auch ein Kampfkunstler, Autor und Philosoph. Er begann sein Kampfkunsttraining in Hong Kong, als er 13 Jahre alt war. Ein Freund stellte ihn Yip Man vor, Grossmeister im Wing Chun Kung Fu. Funf Jahre trainierte Bruce sehr hart, meistens vier bis sechs Stunden pro Tag. Was er lernte, probierte er auf der Strasse aus, und dadurch bekam er immer wieder Probleme. Seine Eltern beschlossen daher, ihn 1959 nach Amerika zu schicken. Dort machte er den High School Abschluss und studierte an der Washington University in Seattle, WA, Philosophie. In seiner freien Zeit gab er einer kleinen Gruppe Studenten Kung Fu Unterricht. Einer dieser Studenten war Linda Emery, die er 1964 heiratete. Bruce eroffnete drei Kung Fu Schulen: in Oakland, Seattle und Los Angeles. Er war sehr fasziniert von Kampfkunst und allem, was damit zusammenhing und sammelte mehr als 2000 Bucher. 1973 starb Bruce Lee mit 32 Jahren, auf dem Hohepunkt seiner Karriere. Er hinterliess der Welt vier Filme (plus 20 Minuten von einem noch zu produzierenden funften Film) und die von ihm entwickelte Kampfkunst Jeet Kune Do. 1975, zwei Jahre nach dem Tod von Bruce, wurde die erste Ausgabe des Tao des Jeet Kune Do herausgegeben. Bruce hat an einem Buch gearbeitet, in dem er seine Ideen uber Kampfkunst veroffentlichen wollte. Es sollte eine siebenteilige Enzyklopadie werden, wofur er sich schon einen Titel ausgedacht hatte, The Tao of Jeet Kune Do. Seine enorme Anzahl von Aufzeichnungen und Notizen, zusammen mehr als 6000 Seiten, bildeten die Basis fur das Buch. Als seine Frau Linda nach seinem Tod beschloss, das Buch doch noch herauszugeben, stand sie vor der beinah unmoglichen Aufgabe, alles geschriebene Material zu ordnen. Mit der Hilfe von Gilbert Johnson, der die Redaktion des Buches ubernommen hatte, und den Schulern von Bruce, ist schliesslich The Tao of Jeet Kune Do entstanden. Das Buch wurde inzwischen in 11 Sprachen ubersetzt und weltweit wurden mehr als 1 Million Exemplare verkauft! Diese deutsche Ausgabe wurde besorgt von James ter Beek, der selbst Unterricht von Ted Wong hatte - Topschuler von Bruce Lee - und der zertifizierter Jeet Kune Do Lehrer

The Stage of Art--the student is immersed in the process of technical and physical training. The Stage of Artlessness--the stage of "highest art" in which the body is no longer hindered by the mind.

Download or read book Straight Lead written by Teri Tom and published by Tuttle Publishing. This book was released on 2012-05-15 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The straight punch is the core of Jeet Kune Do."—Bruce Lee The straight lead was a key element in Bruce Lee's development of his own personal style. It was designed to be uncomplicated, economical, and brutally effective but is not as simple as it might seem. Bruce Lee once described it the most difficult move in the Jeet Kune Do arsenal. Lee developed JKD as a response to the shortcomings he found in traditional martial arts, but it also includes elements of Western combat systems that he found effective. It incorporates contributions ranging from Jack Dempsey's approach to boxing to the fencing style of Aldo Nadi. In The Straight Lead: The Core of Bruce Lee's Jun Fan Jeet Kune Do, author Teri Tom describes the development of the straight punch in Western martial arts and describes Bruce Lee's refinement of the technique. It also offers a thorough instruction in the complexity and power of the move—showing martial artists of any discipline how to incorporate this devastating attack into their repertoire. With forewords by Shannon Lee Keasler and Ted Wong, chapters include: A Brief History of Straight Punching Evolution of Jeet Kune Do's Straight Lead The Stance Mechanics of the Straight Lead Footwork Why the Straight Lead?

Book excerpt: Although much has been written about Jeet Kune Do, the art of Bruce Lee remains an enigma, spawning endless debate about what constitutes the art and how it should be taught and applied. "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.

Download or read book Essential Jeet Kune Do written by Tim Tackett and published by Empire Books. This book was released on 2019-06-10 with total page 450 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book will serve way to decide what will work the best for you and what aspects of JKD you need to keep, as well as throw away. 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.
Download or read book The Jeet Kune Do Mindset written by Martin Oneill and published by . This book was released on 2017-07-31 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: No individual has influenced modern martial arts more than Bruce Lee and his legend lives on through the teachings of his own art, Jeet Kune Do. Lee believed martial arts had become too rigid and unfit for real-world encounters. Combat is spontaneous and unpredictable with the victor being the one who moved fluidly to any given situation and was able to adjust accordingly. Unlike many other martial arts, JKD does not have fixed patterns of movement. It has simple techniques that are easy to learn and master, but are adaptable in the chaos of a street battle. Minimal movement with maximum effect. JKD is also a philosophy, with guiding thoughts on how to approach life and wellbeing, how to treat others and how to be a positive influence. Physical and emotional fitness and improving self-confidence are at its core - and is suited equally to a beginner or seasoned martial artist. Renowned instructor Martin O'Neill has been studying JKD and martial arts for more than four decades and has real-life experience of using his training effectively in combatant situations as well as in the gym. In his first book - The Jeet Kune Do Mindset: Martial Arts Ways For A Better Life - Martin takes readers on a step-by-step introduction to JKD including its ethos, mentality, and a guide to the basic JKD techniques of self-defence. He also offers advice on training, being mentally prepared and shares a detailed 12-week work-out programme. Interspersed with anecdotes from his youth growing up in Northern Ireland during The Troubles to his days working as a bouncer and within social care, Martin shows how martial arts can lead you to improved physical and mental wellbeing, and to have a better life. Start your journey and become a happy warrior.
