"Jeet Kune Do, the way of simplicity" is a work to which Joaquin Marcelo has devoted 5 years of work and thorough research, having Sifu Ted Wong as supervisor until one year before his passing. The book is a comprehensive study on the roots of the art, biomechanics of the techniques with combative applications, the psycho - physical qualities as well as tactics from fencing and psychological issues of the actual combat. It also includes a thorough investigation into the original sources which mainly influenced the "Little Dragon" to create his own method of combat.

"I cannot say enough good things about Joaquin Marcelo´s book “Jeet Kune Do, the way of simplicity”. It is without doubt one of the finest books ever written on the subject.
Around 400 pages filled with technical, scientific, philosophical and historical information pertaining to the art.
I have known Joaquin for many years and consider him an excellent instructor. The book should be part of every serious JKD practitioner and instructor´s library.

To everyone else, I say: “This book is fantastic!”. Chris Kent (world-renown JKD instructor)
" I was lucky enough to spend some time with Joaquin´s Jeet Kune Do teacher, Ted Wong. Unfortunately, Ted passed away before he could see the book that his student wrote to honor both him and his art. I know Ted would be proud of Joaquin as it is a great book, and I highly recommended it to anyone who wants to further his knowledge of Jeet Kune Do". Tim Tackett (world-renown JKD instructor)
