Hello Everyone!

Yesterday the new book (or rather revised book) by Chris Kent, "Encyclopedia of Jeet Kune Do From A to Z", arrived in the mail. I must say that I am EXTREMELY PLEASED with the book, especially for the price ($24.95). It has 366 pages plus a few blank pages for notes. It has the full content of the previous two volume series, plus a few more photos. It is more artistically done, giving it a richer, more exclusive appearance. The cover, front, spine and back, is beautifully done, giving the book a very nice presentation appearance. This solves the problem with the previous editions from Unique, which I felt were too "plain" looking, and deserving of a better appearance considering all of the work that Chris put into writing the books. Empire Books did a GREAT job of revising the book, and all I can say is BUY IT!!!!!

Thanks for the info, as always.

Hi Lamar,
Is there anything new in terms of text? Also, what are the newly added photos of? Thanks.

Hi David!

The new photos are just random, more current photos of Chris. These are usually full page photos leading into a section of the book. As for anything new other than that (and the awesome cover design), I haven't had time to really get down to reading, so I won't know until I get time to thoroughly go through the book! If I do find anything new, I will certainly let you know!

Encyclopedia of Jeet Kune Do (From A to Z) Book by Chris Kent

Jeet Kune Do is the art of expressing the human body in combative form. It is not a “style” or “system” of martial art as conventionally defined. Nor is it simply an eclectic conglomeration of fighting techniques from various arts combined with philosophical dogma that is convenient. Jeet Kune Do is a rational, well thought-out approach to “total” martial art training.
The Encylopedia of Jeet Kune Do is designed to serve as a resource guide, not only for the person training in Jeet Kune Do, but for any martial artist sincerely interested in enhancing his or her performance and achieving one’s full potential.
Many of the principles and training methods illustrated in one section or chapter of this book can and should be cross-referenced with motions or actions in another. The goal is for you, the reader, to use this book to improve your understanding and working knowledge of the art, science, and philosophy of unarmed combat known as Jeet Kune Do. Remember, it’s not how much you absorb, but how much of what you’ve absorbed that you can apply “alively” that counts.

hi Lamar
Why don't you consider publishing your own JKD "mastertext" covering all the ranges and techniques?

I just may have to do that!
