Summary: Good basic overview of Jun Fan Gung Fu's basic striking
Comment: Jeet Kune Do Kickboxing is a good overview of the basics of Jun Fan Gung Fu in the kicking and punching range. If you're already a Jun Fan / JKD student under a qualified instructor you probably won't get anything really new out of this, but it is a good reference for those of us who aren't good about taking notes. My only complaint is that the basic stance and footwork are only given about a page and a half, and IMO, those are two of the absolute most important things as they are the foundation for everything else. If you don't have a good stance and good footwork, everything else falls apart.

Summary: Terrible!
Comment: I have been kickboxing for fifteen years, and got this book in the hopes that it would offer some fresh perspectives on the subject. I was sorely disappointed.
The book has a kernel of good information, however, the stances, footwork, combinations and technique demonstrated are so clearly incorrect, I was surprized this book got published. Not only are the authors demonstrating poor technique, the layout and structure of the book doesn't facilitate clear instruction on the principles of fighting.
I realize that this book's bent is JKD kickboxing, however, I wouldn't use this book for anything other than a primer on how NOT to do martial arts.
Perhaps I got spoiled. When I first started fighting back in the 80's, I was lucky enough to get a copy of Jean-Yves Theiriault's "Full Contact Karate". This book has become a collectors item. When I see books like the one I just reviewed, I understand why people are willing to shell out [price] for a used copy of Theiriault's book.

Summary: very good book on the subject
Comment: a very good photo book that showing and explaining the kickboxing of jeet kune do, plus including many boxing and kickboxing drills(including how to train with the partner wich this particular part of the book is superb).the 5 ways of attack (in the art of jeet kune do) are explained in the application of j.k.d.-kickboxing wich is the topic of this book.a very technical book with explanations,although the footwork (as my previous reviewers mentioned) should have to be disccussed more in details.in short it is recommanded !
