getting started

IT TAKES A SIGNIFICANT COMMITMENT of time, energy, and usually money to study a martial art such as Jeet Kune Do. Although you can potentially learn useful self-defense skills in a short period of time, in order to gain proficiency in the art as a whole, you must be willing to make an investment of your resources. Hence, rather than dive in blindly, it makes sense for someone who is thinking about Jeet Kune Do to understand what to expect in a teacher and in his or her training.

In the next few chapters, we will take a look at how a prospective student can go about selecting an appropriate school or teacher. The task is not as simple as looking up a training facility in the phone book. We will also examine what a typical Jeet Kune Do class is like and what to expect during the first few months of training. Finally, the important topic of safety in training will be considered. Having this background will make it easier for you to make an informed and intelligent decision about training in Jeet Kune Do.
