Jeet Kune Do Unlimited by Burton Richardson

One of the ideas of Bruce Lee's Jeet Kune Do Concept is to look beyond the individual styles of martial arts to grasp the concepts that bind all martial arts systems. In this book, Burton Richardson, one of the foremost authorities on Bruce Lee's Jeet Kune Do, and Jeet Kune Do Concepts, breaks down these concepts so that martial artists of all disciplines can better understand this holistic approach to the study of martial arts. After years of training in a wide variety of martial arts under masters in the United States, the Philippines, Japan, China, Hawaii, Brazil, Africa and Europe, Burton has been able to break down the martial arts realms into five categories: ranges, postures, attributes, technique and training.

Burton starts with philosophy and tactics, then gives a detailed explanation of the five categories. He concludes by illustrating how these concepts can be applied through hundreds of photos. This book is not about a particular system, but about how the individual martial artists can practice more efficiently and with greater understanding than every before.
