Disciples of the Dragon
During Bruce Lee's short and climatic life, he touched the hearts
of many people. Besides his fans, who span across the globe, he
left behind many students who are thankful for meeting the martial
arts legend whom we have come to know as, "The Little Dragon." In
Disciples of the Dragon, Paul Bax has sought out and interviewed
Lee's most famous and obscure students for this ground breaking
book. With a foreword by Lee's student Leo Fong and countless
interviews with Lee's original students, Disciples of the Dragon is
an interesting and thought provoking book on the life and legend of
Bruce Lee.
Descendents of the Dragon
Bruce Lee's art of Jeet Kune Do has ridden the waves of controversy
since his death in 1973. From the backyard of Dan Inosanto to the
magazine pages of Black Belt and Inside Kung Fu, Jeet Kune Do has
become many things to different people. From its early days of
being known as Jun Fan Gung Fu to its later incarnation as 'Jeet
Kune Do' and then 'JKD Concepts', 'JKD Strategies', 'Combative JKD'
and 'Original JKD' (to mention a few) the art has continued to
thrive under several different original Lee students. As time
marches on and these "pointers to the truth" eventually retire or
unfortunately pass on, the world of JKD is left with their
students, who have become known as "Second Generation Instructors
of Jeet Kune Do." Many of these second generation instructors have
had the privilege of training with several of Lee's students rather
then merely obtaining one perspective on Lee's art while a select
few have chosen the path of solidarity and remain under the
guidance of only one instructor of JKD. This book, Descendents of
the Dragon, seeks to explore and promote the future generation of
Jeet Kune Do instructors and also include instructors from the
various off springs of Jeet Kune Do such as Jesse Glover's
Non-Classical Gung Fu, Joe Cowles' Wu-Wei Gung Fu and James
DeMile's, Wing Chun Do. As a historian of Bruce Lee's art and the
life of Bruce Lee, I have chosen practitioners to interview that I
feel best represent the aforementioned arts and the current state
of Jeet Kune Do.
