    Best JKD book so far (except for Tao...)

    This is the best JKD book I know not written by Bruce Lee. It has clear pictures, good text, stories about Bruce, and explanations about WHY certain things are done. For example, the author explains why strong-side forward is preferred in JKD, rather than the standard boxer's stance. I really like this book for a clear introduction to JKD, but no doubt, more experienced JKD people will also gain from this book.
