Front cover somewhat creased. ; "Absorb What is Useful (A Jeet Kune Do Guidebook: Volume Two) " by Daniel Inosanto is an in-depth exploration of the core philosophies and techniques of Jeet Kune Do, the martial arts style founded by Bruce Lee. In this second volume, Inosanto, a direct student and protégé of Lee, delves deeper into the conceptual framework and practical application of Jeet Kune Do. He discusses the importance of adaptability, simplicity, and efficiency in martial arts training, echoing Lee's philosophy of "absorbing what is useful" and discarding the unnecessary. The guidebook is richly detailed with technical descriptions, photographic illustrations, and Inosanto's personal insights into the subtleties of the discipline. It covers advanced techniques, training methods, and strategies for both self-defense and personal development. This book serves as both a practical manual for practitioners and a philosophical treatise on the fluid, dynamic nature of Jeet Kune Do, making it a valuable resource for martial artists seeking to deepen their practice. ; Folio; 160 pages .
