Jeet Kune Do: A to Z by Chris Kent
Jeet Kune Do. The very name conjures images of the late Bruce Lee destroying opponents on the movie screen. But what exactly is Jeet Kune Do? Is it simply Bruce Lee's personal expression in combat? Is it a style? Is it a process? Is it a product? Can it be taught? Can it be learned? While Bruce Lee felt that there should be no such thing as a fixed system or method of fighting, he did believe there is definitely a progressive approach to training. Packed with over 400 photographs, and for the first time anywhere, this book presents the ins-and-outs of Bruce Lee's fighting art. |

Beginner's Tai Chi Chuan by Vicent Chu
Tai Chi is known as the Supreme Ultimate Art, as it at once embraces Taoist philosophy, is a wholistic health exercise, and is an effective self-defense art. No wonder thousands of people around the world practice Tai Chi every day, making it the most widely practiced health and self-defense system in the world. The Tai Chi Chuan routine presented in this book grew from the author's experience in teaching at adult and community education programs, and is written with the novice in mind. As such, the traditional Yang family long form has been abbreviated, and those movements which are difficult to perform have ben removed, thus making it easy to learn and enjoyable to practice. |
