[.ca] Jeet Kune Do Conversations (ISBN 1933901187)



Most informative book on JKD thus far:
I've read maybe a dozen books on JKD and at least twice that many on Bruce himself, but this is the most informative book on JKD I've ever read. I've heard all the quotes hundreds of times, "Using no way as a way; having no limitation as limitation", but for the first time I really feel like I understand what Bruce meant. JKD is hard to describe, and even now (I don't remotely think myself an expert), I'd still have trouble trying to explain it, but after reading this book containing interviews with Bruce's friends, students and people carrying on the JKD legacy, it's all starting to make sense. What I thought I knew was a bit off, and as corny as it sometimes sounds, I can finally grasp what is meant by JKD being a way of life. Always being open to new things, never limiting yourself to any specific idea. A person eating Corn Pops all his life may never know the joys of Apple Jacks..and that's just sad. But seriously, if you have any questions about JKD, this book is a great start to understanding.


Highly enlightening and enjoyable reading:
The interview with Chris Kent alone is worth the price of the book. I've only just bought the book, and have just read that chapter today, and I will most likely finish the rest of it by the end of tomorrow. I highly recommend this book, specifically the Chris Kent interview, to anyone who wants to improve their understanding of Jeet Kune Do.


Great insight on JKD:
Best book on JKD I've read. I like the interview style so it's straight from the people who knew Bruce best.


A MUST READ FOR THE JKD ENTHUSIAST:
This is a most excellent work rendered by a really competent craftsman when it comes to the written word. The book is enlightening, interesting, and insightful. I thoroughly enjoyed it, and found it hard to put down. The subjects have some diverse, and fascinating perspectives upon their take on Bruce Lee's martial art of Jeet Kune Do. It is that very diversity that enriches us, the readers of this worthy tome. Get it. Read it. Johnny W. THE CHINA HAND GUNG-FU CLUB "Gung-Fu is Gung-Fu. It's not child's play." -Bruce Lee as Kato
