# Jeet Kune Do Books - Link: https://brianejohns.com/2008/06/14/blog-jeet-kune-do-books/ - Published: 2008-06-14T19:27:00-04:00 - Author: Brian Johns In addition to books on [Filipino Martial Arts](https://brianejohns.com/2008/06/11/blog-fma-books/), I have also noticed that Jeet Kune Do books fit in well with an Arnisador’s library. These books offer insights very similar to the underlying concepts of FMAs. I recommend reading Jeet Kune Do books with Filipino Martial Arts in mind. It doesn’t hurt that I learned a little bit of JKD through Dan McConnell in Columbus and the Kelly Worden seminars I attended. Those influences impacted my book-buying decisions and here is a list of my limited library of JKD/Bruce Lee books: (1) _[Bruce Lee: The Art of Expressing the Human Body](https://www.amazon.com/Bruce-Expressing-Human-Body-Library/dp/0804831297/ref=sr_1_1?crid=34VXFBPSHYLUS&dchild=1&keywords=the+art+of+expressing+the+human+body&qid=1593732748&sprefix=the+art+of+expressing%2Caps%2C217&sr=8-1):_ Compiled and edited by John Little.
