Chris Kent

With over forty eight years experience, Chris Kent is widely acknowledged as one of the world's foremost authorities on Bruce Lee's martial art known as Jeet Kune, Do and has gained international recognition for his knowledge and leadership in perpetuating the art, training methods, and philosophy developed by Lee.

Chris has authored 4 of the highest rated books on Jeet Kune Do: "The Encyclopedia of Jeet Kune Do," "Jeet Kune Do - The Textbook," "Jeet Kune Do Kickboxing," and most recently "The Jeet Kune Do Guide to Equipment Training." In addition he has both written for numerous martial art publications both nationally and internationally including Inside Kung Fu, Black Belt, Martial Art Masters, Budo International, Combat and Martial Arts Illustrated.

In his latest book, "LIBERATE YOURSELF - How To Think Like Bruce Lee" (a completely revised and updated version of his original book LIBERATE YOURSELF - A Guide To Personal Freedom) Chris shares the philosophy of self-actualization and personal liberation synthesized by the legendary martial artist, Bruce Lee, and takes the principles and mental strategies out of the martial art arena and into the arena of daily living. He has also written a companion workbook and resource journal to accompany the book.

The following is a quote from Linda Lee Cadwell (Bruce Lee's widow) concerning Chris' latest book --

"Your inspiration continues to guide us toward our personal liberation" - that is the message I had engraved on my late husband, Bruce Lee's, headstone when he passed way in 1973. Today I am inspired by the publication of a book entitled "Liberate Yourself" by Chris Kent that elaborates on the message of personal liberation. Chris has studied Bruce's art and philosophy for forty years. He is a gifted martial artist and teacher, but beyond that he has grasped the underlying philosophy of Bruce's art and applied it to daily living. In reading "Liberate Yourself" one will not only understand Bruce Lee's way of thinking better, but will discover ways of looking at and improving one's own life. In understandable language, Chris Kent has laid out a blueprint for taking control and overcoming obstacles. I highly recommend Chris' book to anyone wanting to take the next step toward personal liberation."
