Summary: Great Book
Comment: A great look at not only classic JKD techniques but also new ones developed by Larry Hartsell. Being an original student of Bruce Lee Larry has the rare ability to absorb what is useful and transmit that to his students. The drills found this book are very helpful and will help those of us with some expirince get better that much faster. For the Newbies it will give you an inside look at what JKD is about.

Summary: good collection of training drills and strategies
Comment: The book has a good collection of drills for improving one's sensetivity and trapping range skills, as well as sections on strategies for dealing with a few general categories of fighters; boxers, kickboxers, grapplers and "street fighters".
Although anybody interested in Jun Fan Gung Fu or Jeet Kune Do would probably enjoy this book and learn from it, I'm doubtful that someone who hasn't studied Jun Fan or Wing Chun under a qualified instructor will be able to follow what's going on in the energy and trapping drills. Although the photographs are very well done, and other than a few minor typographical errors, the descriptions are clear to me, I've shown the book to friends who've had no instruction in Jun Fan or Wing Chun and they weren't able to figure out how perform the drills properly from the book.
If you already know Wing Chun or Jun Fan, the drills are helpful, but if you don't, you're not going to learn trapping from them. It is also important to note for those w/o training that these are meant as drills and not techniques. I suggest finding a qualified Jun Fan or Wing Chun instructor (there is a directory of certified Jun Fan/JKD instructors at Dan Inosanto's web site) and then get this book after you've learned some trapping and the ping chuei gua chuie and 1-2 and 1-3 series. You'll get a lot more out of it then.
The book also contains a section on the Jun Fan wooden dummy form, but like the trapping drills, unless you already have the training, you may have a difficult time figuring how he's moving between the photographs.
Like all of Larry Hartsell's other books, this one is a must for any Jun Fan/JKD student's library, but it might be a bit hard for the untrained to get what's going on. If you're really interested though, go find a teacher :)
