ENCYCLOPEDIA
OF JEET KUNE DO
From A to Z (Revised Edition)
By Chris Kent
Jeet Kune
Do is the art of expressing the human body in combative form.
It is not a “style” or “system” of martial
art as conventionally defined. Nor is it simply an eclectic
conglomeration of fighting techniques from various arts combined
with philosophical dogma that is convenient. Jeet Kune Do is
a rational, well thought-out approach to “total”
martial art training.
The Encylopedia of Jeet Kune Do is designed to serve as a resource
guide, not only for the person training in Jeet Kune Do, but
for any martial artist sincerely interested in enhancing his
or her performance and achieving one’s full potential.
Many of the principles and training methods illustrated in one
section or chapter of this book can and should be cross-referenced
with motions or actions in another. The goal is for you, the
reader, to use this book to improve your understanding and working
knowledge of the art, science, and philosophy of unarmed combat
known as Jeet Kune Do. Remember, it’s not how much you
absorb, but how much of what you’ve absorbed that you
can apply “alively” that counts.

Chris
Kent, in 1973 at age 17, became the youngest and final member
admitted into Dan Inosanto’s fabled “Backyard JKD”
group. He studied with and assisted Inosanto for more than 13
years, mastering his skills and traveling extensively, both
nationally and internationally, while serving as Dan’s
personal assistant for seminars and public exhibitions. In 1982,
he was one of the first students to be awarded the prestigious
title of Full Instructor in Jeet Kune Do.
For more than 35 years, Chris Kent has been intimately involved
in Jeet Kune Do and is recognized as one of the few people who
has total comprehension of the art and philosophy, including
what is referred to as the “style-less style.” As
one of the preeminent torchbearers of the art around the world,
he remains at the forefront of perpetuating Jeet Kune Do’s
art and philosophy, and is considered by many to be one of the
most knowledgeable instructors in the world.
