The Straight Lead: The Core of Bruce Lee's Jun Fan Jeet Kune Do Paperback - 2006

by Teri Tom; Foreword by Ted Wong; Foreword by Shannon Lee Keasler


Summary

A key element in the Jeet Kune Do arsenal, the straight punch is a deceptively simple technique that Bruce Lee described as the most difficult move in Jeet Kune Do- "Only one in 10,000 can handle it."

The Straight Lead describes the development of the straight punch in Western martial arts and describes Lee's refinement of the technique. It also offers a thorough instruction in the complexity and power of the move-showing martial artists of any discipline how to incorporate this devastating attack into their repertoire.

Teri Tom, M.S., R.D., is a certified Jun Fan Jeet Kune Do instructor who has spent over 800 hours in private study with Sifu Ted Wong. She specializes in sports nutrition and is based at the exclusive The SportsClub/LA in West Los Angeles, CA.

First line

It may seem a bit excessive to devote an entire book to a single punch, but as Bruce Lee himself declared, "The straight punch is the core of Jeet Kune Do."
