good instruction from a Jeet Kune Do ORIGINAL student
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
I think this is a good book Mr. Hartsell conveys his points in this book very well, i have been studying JKD and Kali extensively. One word of advice though i repeat you cannot learn jkd from a book this book is for practicioners or a beginner looking to see some techniques of jkd, there are alot of reviewers saying this book is bad and that grappling is useless and time consuming. Grappling is a skill trapping is a skill skills take time to cultivate, anything worthwhile takes time to cultivate and learn. I find it really funny that some reviewers are stating boldly that something is useless and doesnt work if you try to use it and fail, like the old saying goes try try again.Thats the only way to make progress in the arts and life.
Hartsell on JKD
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
This is one of my favorite books on JKD. Larry Hartsell combines the original art of JKD as taught to him by Bruce Lee with the more current JKD Concept. Full of easy to understand photos this book is a classic that finds favor with both OJKD and JKDC.

This comprehensive book goes over the art of grappling very well. Grappling is something that is often neglected and overlooked in the martial arts world, but this category of fighting is very important and every martial artist must be familiar with it if they want to be fully competent.Grappling does occur a lot in real fights. So this book is very valuable. Every martial artist must get this book RIGHT NOW!!

The Martial Artist of today can pick up this book and become good at self defense. Since Larry Hartsell shares the techniques of Jeet Kune Do a person can cut years off their training. This is a must for the true martial artist. Another good book is Jeet Kune Do, A NEW ERA, Groundfighting and counters to Brazilian jiu-jitsu, which is the 3rd book in line right after Larry's first 2 books. It goes into Groundfighting in depth. You can truly get a full spectrum of self defense with these 3 books.

"Jeet Kune Do Entering to Trapping to Grappling" provides "step by step" instructions for practical grappling techniques. Included in the book are techniques for entry to chokes, takedowns, and hand and leg manipulation. Definitely, a text book to study and practice - giving one a feel for the effectiveness of JKD techniques. The second volume builds on the first. Both are excellent books, to add to your Martial Art Library.
