In Chinatown Jeet Kune Do: Essential Elements of Bruce Lee’s Martial Art, authors Tim Tackett and Bob Bremer clearly explain the basic structure, principles and techniques of Lee’s innovative art so readers can integrate their findings into their own training. They give readers an insider’s view into “the art of the intercepting fist” through descriptive step-by-step instructions, comprehensive photo sequences and personal anecdotes of Lee’s wisdom.
With more than a century of experience between them, Tackett (taught by Inosanto) and Bremer (taught by Lee directly) lead readers through eight extensive chapters on stances, footwork, hand tools, kicking tools as well as defense, attack and hand-trapping techniques. The book also includes a special chapter on what Lee believed were the art’s most effective fighting and training skills—even though, until now, they have been relatively unknown.
In addition to the precise and in-depth technical descriptions, the authors analyze the winning strategies that Lee developed for use against various opponents, no matter their combat background. The book dissects and disseminates Lee’s philosophy behind such concepts as “the five ways of attack,” “the swinging gate drill” and “the hammer principle” in a practical way so that any reader can use them effectively against any attacker.
This Black Belt book also includes a foreword by Lee’s widow, Linda Lee Cadwell, as well as a fable by Bruce Lee. Linda Lee Cadwell writes, “ Only a handful of people in the world have studied jeet kune do under my husband, Bruce Lee, [and] I appreciate the time, effort and primarily the love that Bob and Tim have put into transcribing their experiences [...] for the benefit of generations to come.”
A glossary of terms also add to this authentic jeet kune do experience, making Chinatown Jeet Kune Do an essential book for anyone interested in the original thoughts, theories and teachings of Bruce Lee, the master himself.
