If you were like me, and had very little idea
about martial arts except you wanted to learn it, then this
book is a good choice.
It has good descriptions of basic stretching,
strength training, speed training and more, on how to get
you physically fit and capable of practicing martial arts.
It includes the basic techniques of stances, punching and
kicking that you would learn should you take up the art of
Jeet Kune Do with an instructor.
Have no illusions, you will not be able to pick
up this book as a novice and suddenly be a legend of JKD just
because it has Lee's name on it. It is made clear in the book,
just as it would be taught by an instructor, that you must
train in these ways for months to get them down. When you
do this, the techniques start to become second nature which
is the important thing.
It explains in great detail of the reasons behind
the training. Muscle memory, nerve memory, stamina and latent
power are some of the reasons behind needing the correct form.
As I say, these are the basics. You will need
this book, even if you feel more advanced as a martial artist
because of the simple reason that the basics in JKD are different
to other forms, and as many Martial artists will tell you,
the continual practice of the basics keeps you on top.
To get into JKD, learn the basics, learn from
the man that developed the formless art, buy this book.
