  • Bruce Lee and the Perfection of Martial Arts (Studies): an Exercise in Alterdisciplinarity Kyle Barrowman
    Kyle Barrowman is an Adjunct Instructor of Film Studies at Columbia CONTRIBUTOR College Chicago and the College of Lake County. He received his PhD from the School of Journalism, Media, and Culture at Cardiff University. He has published widely on film history, aesthetics, and philosophy, and his research interests in martial arts studies include the genre of martial arts cinema and the sport of MMA. He also serves as an editorial assistant of Martial Arts Studies. BRUCE LEE AND THE PERFECTION OF MARTIAL ARTS (STUDIES): AN EXERCISE IN ALTERDISCIPLINARITY KYLE BARROWMAN DOI ABSTRACT 10.18573/mas.80 This essay builds from an analysis of the philosophical underpinnings of Bruce Lee’s jeet kune do to an analysis of the current state of academic scholarship generally and martial arts studies scholarship specifically. For the sake of a more comprehensive understanding of the philosophical underpinnings of jeet kune do, and in particular its affinities with a philosophical tradition traced by Stanley Cavell under the heading of KEYWORDs perfectionism, this essay brings the philosophical writings of Ralph Waldo Emerson and Ayn Rand into contact with Lee’s writings Bruce Lee, jeet kune do, Ralph during the time that he spent formulating his martial arts philosophy. Waldo Emerson, Ayn Rand, Stanley Additionally, this essay uses the philosophical insights of Emerson, Cavell, Objectivism, Perfectionism, Rand, and Lee to challenge longstanding academic dogma vis-à-vis Poststructuralism, Alterdisciplinarity poststructuralist philosophy, the methods of academic intervention, and the nature of philosophical argumentation. Though pitched as a debate regarding the content and the status of Bruce Lee and his combative CITATION philosophy, this essay endeavors to inspire scholars to (re)examine their conceptions of Bruce Lee, martial arts, and martial arts studies.

  • Jeet Kune Do Devastating Fighting Techniques.Pdf
    JEET KUNE DO DEVASTATING FIGHTING TECHNIQUES BY DAVID ELWOOD With Thomas J. Nardi. Ph.D. Copyright 1996 Koinonia Productions 6818 Nevada Avenue Canoga Park, California 91303 Table of Content Introduction 4 Part One: Long Range Attacks 13 Part Two: Medium Range Attacks 27 Part Three: Close Range Attacks 42 Conclusion 59 Dedication To my wife and family for their continued support Introduction This book presents devastating Jeet Kune Do fighting techniques. The techniques cover the three ranges of combat: Long (or kicking) Range, Medium (or boxing) Range, and Close (or trapping/grappling) Range. To be a truly complete fighter, one must be able to function in all three combat ranges. A “total approach” fighter has no one range that he prefers – he can fight effectively in all ranges. He does not need to set up his techniques because, as Bruce Lee said, he is responding like an echo to the opponent. The experienced reader will be able to recognize the source of some of these techniques. In true JKD style, the techniques are eclectic, drawn from many different arts. They are unified in their effectiveness. In JKD, techniques that work are endorsed; those that are too stylized or embroidered, are discarded. The discerning reader will recognize the influence of thai, kali, boxing, judo, etc. within these pages. Remember Bruce Lee’s admonition; do not mistake the finger pointing to the moon for the moon. Learn these techniques as well as you can by practicing them repeatedly. Learn how and when to apply them, and then forget them. Let them be automatic so that you do not need to “remember” them.

Center for University Studies Cardenal Spinola CEU, Bormujos (Spain) Contact e-mail: [email protected] The Inheritance of the Little Dragon: Contributions to the Concept of the Combat Duel in the Work of Bruce Lee Submission: 11.08.2018; acceptance: 28.05.2019 Key words: Bruce Lee, case study, duel, combat, martial arts Abstract Background and Aim. This work constitutes an approach, through the work of Bruce Lee, to the concept of the combat duel, its characteristics and training in it. Methods. Using the case study research strategy, a sample consisting of the official up-to-date bibliography Bruce Lee was selected, to which the content analysis technique was applied with the help of MaxQDA v.11 software. Results. After an analysis of the sample and applying a coding technique in two cycles, the constitution of four main codes was determined: Duel (where the general conditions under which it occurs and develops into a self-defense oriented confrontation, and how martial arts face this situation are explained, and his proposal through Jeet Kune Do); type of duel (where single or out- numbered opponent situations, and well-illustrated concrete actions by means of technical demonstration, are proposed); terms of confrontation (in which confrontational situations, that differ from the standing start in contactless or aggression bouts which exist with the use of a weapon, are encoded); and training (where the materials and protection that were used by Bruce Lee are studied, approaching the situation as close as possible to a real confrontation).
