In 2005, Teri Tom's The Straight Lead offered an alternative in-depth look into what Bruce Lee called the "roots of JKD": "On-guard positioning, Footwork, and Postures in relaying force." But there are limitations to conveying motion in print, so now, for the first time, more than 20 years after the book’s original publication, there is a video companion.

Of Jeet Kune Do, Bruce Lee famously wrote, "Only one in 10,000 can handle it.  It is silly to think almost anyone can learn it."  Which is why, despite the fact that Bruce Lee called the straight punch "the core of Jeet Kune Do," many instructors only have the most surface-level understanding of it.  

In 2005, Teri Tom's The Straight Lead: The Core of Jun Fan Jeet Kune Do offered an alternative deep, deep dive into understanding the foundations of Jun Fan Jeet Kune Do.  Since then, it has revolutionized the way JKD has been taught, offering new insight into its historical context, influences, development, biomechanical principles, technical execution, and strategic elements.  

According to Bruce Lee, the core elements, the "roots of JKD" are 1) On-guard positioning 2) Footwork and movement and 3) Postures in Relaying Force. These are explained in great detail in the book The Straight Lead, and they are also addressed in this online course.

There are limitations to conveying motion and postures in print, so now, for the first time, there is a video companion to the book.  This online course will greatly enhance your understanding of The Straight Lead with technical explanations and demonstrations directly from the source, the author of The Straight Lead.
