NOTES
"Jeet kune do is an eclectic martial art created and refined in the 1960s and the early 1970s by Bruce Lee. Using a philosophy of 'absorb what is useful,' Lee fashioned his martial art from the best skills and techniques from a variety of arts, including wing chun kung fu, fencing, boxing and wrestling. He developed jeet kune do to be a fluid form of fighting that evolved as techniques were adopted and abandoned based on their effectiveness. Jeet kune do is renowned for its street effectiveness."--P. [4] of cover
