Jeet Kune Do The System without a System® Step by step A complete in-depth instructional book on Jeet Kune Do Over 3200 photos and over 450 pages (8 1/2 x 11 size ) Written and Demonstrated by George Hajnasr, who had trained with more than ten original first generation students of BL From my book To the reader: Thank you for the opportunity to spread the art of Jeet Kune Do, BL the founder of Jeet Kune Do (JKD), and my idol and inspiration. My skills are not by any means compared to the skills of sijo (BL the founder) or any other JKD instructors in any way, shape, or form. This book is based on my own interpretation, which is a complete "System Without a System®." My method of Jeet Kune Do is a combination of other martial arts skills that I have learned over the years and compiled into one detailed book. Many people suggested I call my book "The Bible of JKD," because of its in-depth explanation. This book demonstrates Jeet Kune Do step-by-step, which is something that has not been done before, though many have claimed to have authored such a work. As such, I urge you to compare knowledge, talent and skills and I am sure you will see the difference. My main reason for writing this book is that, not having previous knowledge about JKD and having purchased many books on the subject, as a beginner I had a very hard time understanding the whole theory behind JKD. I wanted to learn badly, but couldn't fully understand from the books due to the lack of detailed pictures. Too many books before mine describe the art of JKD through explanations and concepts, but so few of them actually demonstrate. As the old adage goes, "a picture is worth a thousand words." My goal is to teach non-JKD students and help JKD practitioners to fully understand the methods and theories of JKD through both text and detailed pictures. After studying classical martial arts for ten years, and learning and researching JKD through many of Bruce's students, I have come to the conclusion that each of his students had their own way of teaching JKD, based on how they had learned it at the time. Each one also had his own way of practicing JKD, due to the fact that Bruce had different schools in Seattle, Oakland, and L.A. Each school taught a slightly different approach. I have compiled everything that the followers of JKD had to offer, as well as everything that I learned from classical martial arts, and refined it into my own system. This is not to say that what you see is exactly what other masters have shown me, but it is a combination of their techniques, the best of JKD that they had mastered, along with my own way of practicing JKD. Thus, here you have it--a complete System Without a System®. After two years of organizing my book, hours of typing and taking over 20,000 photos to give you the best, the truth now lies before you. My objective is to make JKD simple for you to understand the art and what lies behind it. After you have learned from this book and understand the theories, then you can start hacking away at my interpretation. Use this book and its teachings to express yourself and create the way that best fits you as an individual. Even though this book teaches a system, do not become the product of this book. Simply be yourself. That way, you don't create a rigid system, and the name Jeet Kune Do remains only in the heart, as originally intended.
