You know, sometimes I bore myself with always saying the same thing, but it depends on what you are looking for. Could you narrow it down for me Lib?
You looking for the original Jun Fan material (pre 1972)? Are you interested in the Inosanto Concepts blend or not? Are you looking for functional or more curriculum based reference material? Thanks |

if you want the basics of the original material then Jerry Poteet's first set of DVDs cover that. Its very "this is what Bruce Lee did" so right up your street.
Ron Balicki's DVD set, mentioned and sampled on here a number of times, is a superb indepth reference source for Jun Fan. It is taught from the Inosanto method. For functional purposes there just aren't many better DVDs than Vunaks. |

I don't really have any good input on this one beyond the insanely predictable.
Let's just say Michael Wright and I are cut from the same cloth. I might add Yuri Nakamura's stuff. He's one of hte most talented JKD men I've ever met. |

Greetings and welcome. You will find we have little tollerance for unsolicited ads of any kind.
If you'd care to elaborate on WHY you're selling off your book collection or which books you'd recommend (and why) as the thread theme suggests...I'll be happy to leave your post in tact. Otherwise it's just an AD to sell your books. (Your post may be deleted by another Moderator without further warning).

re
I recommend the books by Sifu Lamaar Davis, Burton Richardson and Ron Balicki. They were enjoyable reads and also offered so tips and drills I integrated into my class teachings. I taught a Southern style of KF, but used the drills for our fight (sahshou) class.
When I posted the books for sale list I was 1. trying to sell books (guilty) 2. hoping that other people might find a book that they were unsure of buying due to price (I was offering them for cheap to help out other MArtists) No one wants to pay list for a book that doesn't help them in any way. |
