Not A Bad Book, But There Are A Few Things Lacking!,
By Shawn Kovacich "Shawn Kovacich" (The Greatest Little City in the World) - See all my reviews (VINE VOICE) (TOP 1000 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Jeet Kune Do: The Principles of a Complete Fighter (Paperback)
As I read through this book, I was surprised to find quite a bit of good solid information in it, but was also just as surprised to find a few pieces of information that were not quite so good. I don't know if these particular aspects were merely as they were seen from the author's point of view or not, but I obviously didn't see them from quite the same perspective. This is not meant to be a detriment at all towards the authors work, merely a difference of perspective.I enjoyed the layout for the various training drills with the large photos, but they lacked any real detailed information and where way to brief in explanation for my taste. There was definitely plenty or room to add more detail, and I really wish the author had done so. Now if you have a few years of experience already under your belt, then this lack of detailed explanation may or may not be a hindrance to you. The "Options" and "Multiple Opponents" sections were pretty good, but could have been even better. It is a real shame that they weren't. If they had been, I think it would have really added to the overall effectiveness of the book. The other small complaint I had with this book was the way too brief section on the legal ramifications of using your martial arts skills on the street. This topic has been the focus of entire books and even though it was regulated to a small section in this book, it was much too small to of even been of much use. Here is a book that although written by a Jeet Kune Do practitioner, can be utilized by anyone. The Straight Lead: The Core of Bruce Lee's Jun Fan Jeet Kune Do Here is another book with a lot more principles that I think you may find a lot more useful. Martial Mechanics: Maximum Results with Minimum Effort in the Practice of the Martial Arts And finally, here are three books which in my opinion would make you a more complete fighter than any others. Meditations on Violence: A Comparison of Martial Arts Training & Real World Violence On Killing: The Psychological Cost of Learning to Kill in War and Society On Combat: The Psychology and Physiology of Deadly Conflict in War and in Peace Shawn Kovacich Martial Artist/Creator of numerous books and DVD's.

This book is a must for anyone in Jeet Kune Do. Excellent pictures, and well thought out explanations from one of Guru Dan Inosanto's best.
