5.0 out of 5 stars Definitely the standard of JKD, February 13, 2009

The best overall, general understanding and philosophy of what Bruce was trying to express to all these "JKD guys", who don't get it and keep adding and adding instead of realizing the truth of simplicity. If you're looking for instruction in JKD and not sure where to look, please contact Jerry or any of his instructors for a hands on experience on the real JKD as taught by Bruce Lee.

5.0 out of 5 stars The real JKD, October 23, 2007

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.

Jerry Poteet doesnt attempt to hide or mysticize anything in this book. It's written clearly without any of the nonsense you find in most other JKD books. He stuck to the truth. Everything is explained in detail. Even if youre a student of JKD under any of the first gen instructors, this book is necessary.
