    About this ebook

    First, before I started writing my book, I considered that people would like to know the opposite. The reason for this is, most of the times we would really like to know and define things and subjects to their right side, as we always do! For example, what is this, and what is the difference between this and the other facts or things that creates the comparison.

    Sifu Panayiotis Argyridis

    Sifu Argyridis was born in Nicosia Cyprus on 4th August 1960.His father Greek Cypriot and his mother of a half Lebanese and a half Greek Cypriot. Sifu Argyridis started his primary training in martial arts at the age of 14. What it really inspired him so far to get himself involved in matrial arts training? Was the amazingly electrifi ed Bruce Lee’s fi gure on the big screen. That was back at 1970. Sifu Argyridis started his training with various styles in Karate, and Gung Fu. To name those are: Shotogan Karate, Wado Karate, Mahayana boxing Gung Fu, Wing Chun, Bok Pai Gung Fu and Hang Gar. Later on his quest to fi nd a new path of training in martial arts, led him travel to the United States to meet sifu Lamar M Davis II, a senior instructor and a second generation Bruce Lee’s student. Later on in his career he hosted the fi rst Jun Fan Gung Fu/Jeet Kune Do annual seminar in Cyprus given by his sifu Lamar M Davis II. From his experience he gained through in the art of Bruce Lee’s Jeet Kune he decided to write about his own personal expression about this art, which this is going to be the fi rst volume. Another nine volumes are indented to be written through. Each vol. is going to be a building block to the previous one. Now at the age of almost 50, he is still keeps his will power, proper attitude and endurance to further up his skills development. His daily training record expands to more than fi ve hours training per day for many years. Five years ago, he was invited to a local TV channel to introduce for a third time Bruce Lee’s Jeet Kune Do. This dvd is going to be available on selling to the public in the future. His intention and goal, is to pass the art to the next generation. He is also the founder of advance Jeet Kune Do. For more information. For more information you can contact: www.advancedjkd.com

      FOREWORD

      Since this book is going to be my first volume in the series of ten volumes in all, it does cover the very basics of Jeet Kune Do practice. Anyone willing enough to follow the instructions must have an open mind. In other words, do not go through it blindly. Just use it as a signpost.

      Just understand every part described and illustrated with the photos, and use it as a basis to create your own tactic or technique. Bruce Lee said: I am not going to feed you with one, two, or ten fishes every day, but I am going to teach you on how to fish. It is not really possible to include all of the examples and techniques in one book, as they are numerous.

      Furthermore I intend to produce a DVD as the live part of this book, or any other book from the next volumes.

      I believe this manuscript will help all practitioners in any martial art, beginners or advanced. Anyone interested to visit me for practice and acquire his or her certificate as an apprentice instructor, he or she can do it by logging on to www.advancedjkd.com.

      The different chapters displayed in the book are the primary and prerequisite knowledge to be acquired by anyone wants to learn the art of Jeet Kune Do.

      The main training tip for effective practice and street situations.

      1. Try to understand every explanation as close as possible.

      2. Train diligently on every footwork pattern and every tool. Repetition is very important. Train everything in a good form and in a slow motion. (Consider economy of motion.) Then you can add speed to improve it to the maximum.

      3. Train power and explosiveness too. One good way to train this is through utilizing focus mitts and kicking shields.

      4. Train your muscular and cardiovascular endurance through the different exercises. Look for weight training and isometric training. Use the jump rope frequently, so you can improve agility and mobility in footwork, as well as endurance and speed.

      5. Experiment those tactics and techniques during sparring bouts with a training partner. It is good enough to have a sparring partner. From time to time, as you become costumed to his reactions, just choose a new sparring part. The end result is to gain adoptability to any opponent as well as to get instantaneous responses to the highest level.ear protective equipments such as head gear, shin pads, or a mouth guard, and finger or boxing gloves

      6. Understand the principles of street conflict. Always manage to hit or kick first with maximum speed, power, and explosiveness a vulnerable target on any opponent. This will diminish opponent’s morale and courage, or take him out very quickly.

      7. Make up your mind: This means that you will have to transform yourself into a vicious animal so you can inflict pain and damage on your opponent. (Study about the emotional content and the pseudospeciation.)

      8. Develop a warrior’s spirit.

      FOREWORD

      I am very pleased to be writing the forward for this book authored by Panayiotis Argyridis. Panayiotis has been my devoted student for almost twenty years now, and is extremely dedicated to the art and science of Bruce Lee’s Jun Fan Gung Fu and Jeet Kune Do! He is one of my most knowledgeable and most highly skilled students. I have been teaching Jeet Kune Do for many, many years, and taught hundreds of students, but few have trained with such continued dedication and unending perseverance as Panayiotis. This book is the result of the many years of hard work that Panayiotis has done to get to the point where he is with his Jeet Kune Do training. I am very proud of him and extremely pleased to see this project finally come to fruition! This book will become a treasured part of my martial arts library, as I’m sure it will for anyone who acquires it. Congratulations to Panayiotis on this fine piece of literary work. I am very proud of him and wish him much success in the future!

      Sincerely,

      Sifu Lamar M. Davis II

      ACKNOWLEDGMENT

      This book is dedicated first to my Sifu Lamar M. Davis II who has given me the first insight into and enlightened me on Bruce Lee’s Jeet Kune Do. I also dedicate this book to my loving family, my wife Anna, and my daughter Juliana. To my friends and students who really supported my goal, and who still do.

      My gratitude are also due to those who have helped me with photography production such as Marios, a photographer specialist, and Panikos, who he is still taking private training under me. I would also like to thank my brother, Antonis, who has been a great help to me on the various adjustments on the computer. I also dedicate this book to Bruce Lee’s students who support and perpetuate their master’s teachings and philosophy.

      What Jeet Kune Do Is Not?

      First, before I started writing my book, I considered that people would like to know the opposite. The reason for this is, most of the times we would really like to know and define things and subjects to their right side, as we always do! For example, what is this, and what is the difference between this and the other facts or things that creates the comparison.

      Now Jeet Kune developed by Bruce Lee is not for the many or for everyone, but only for a few. This is very clear because most of the people or martial artists like to abide by something. They like to be attached to their techniques they have learned, or to the same routines and habits they do every day. Therefore, Jeet Kune Do is for those who do not abide or be attached with anything that creates the feeling of self-security. This is where true freedom and self-expression results. Therefore, Jeet Kune Do is in an ever changing and an ever evolving state. You can apply your technique or your tactic with the absence of likes or dislikes.

      Jeet Kune Do has no ranking or belts, not even tournaments.

      On the contrary, one is preparing him or herself for the real combat situations. In order to obtain that skill, you will have to be trained for the unexpected, and not for what you expect to be like.

      Jeet Kune Do has no forms, or
