Jeet Kune Do Basics by David Cheng

As a foundation, the book recalls the origination of Jeet Kune Do - the philosophy, history, and different styles of the martial art. This gives readers an important reference point on how the practice evolved. From there, the book explains how to choose a school, taking readers through their first class including the etiquette and dress requirements. The basic elements of the style - stances, footwork, upper body and lower body techniques, and grappling are all well represented and defined. Building upon this solid groundwork, the book informs readers of the five ways of attack, including the single direct attack, the attack by combination, the progressive indirect attack, the attack by drawing, and the hand immobilization attack. Fighting instructions include the tactical considerations of Jeet Kune Do practice such as defenses, counterattacks, and sparring. The book concludes with a comprehensive list of resources to help students further develop their knowledge of and training in Jeet Kune Do. Thorough compact and easy-to-read, this book gives readers everything they'll need to start their practice of this important fighting art.

"These are great books if you are starting either Kung Fu classes, or enrolling in a Jeet Kune Do academyBoth provide the basic information about the art. I would easily recommend these to anyone that was starting up their new martial path, and wanted to know what to expect from the Kung Fu that they signed up for, or even how Jeet Kune Do differs from other martial arts." -- Jaredd Wilson, Martial Thoughts
