Paul Bax

Paul Bax has been studying the art of Jeet Kune Do since 1986. Through out his years of studying the art he has amassed an enormous collection of books, tapes and DVD's on the art. He primary JKD instructor was a little known but highly skilled man by the name of Kym Huie. Mr. Bax has attended Nucleus events where he trained (in a group setting) with such JFJKD luminaries as: Taky Kimura, Howard Williams, David Cox, Greglon Lee, Allen Joe, the Magdangel Brothers, Steve Golden, Richard Bustillo, Larry Hartsell (deceased), Ted Wong, Bob Bremer, Pete Jacobs, Tim Tackett, Cass Magda, Chris Kent, and many more. He has trained in private seminars with both Pat Strong and Ted Wong (3) and Jesse Glover. Earnest Hart, Jr., former four time welterweight kickboxing champion, has personally trained Mr. Bax on several occasions. Mr. Bax spent a week with the late Skip Ellsworth, Lee's third student in America at his home in the Philippines. Due to Skip's health issues at the time, he was not able to share his physical knowledge of his training with Bruce Lee other then a few minor demonstrations. However, their daily lunches and dinners together provided many interesting insights into "the little dragon". Mr. Bax is also known as a JKD historian due to his in-depth interviews with Bruce Lee's students over the past 15 years. Those interviews include: Taky Kimura, Joe Cowles, Pat Strong, Jesse Glover, James DeMile, Skip Ellsworth, Howard Williams, Leo Fong, Allen Joe, Bob Bremer, Bill Bremer, Steve Golden, George Dillman, Bob Wall, Joe Lewis, Steve Johnson, Richard Bustillo and Ted Wong. He has published two books. His first book, Disciples of the Dragon, contains interviews with Lee's actual students while his second, Descendents of the Dragon, contains interviews with second generation students of JKD and various spin-off's of his art (Wing Chun Do, Wu-Wei, etc.). Bax is the former editor of, "The Jun Fan Journal" a newsletter devoted to Bruce Lee and his art of Jeet Kune Do. The newsletter ended in 1995. His forum is one of the most controversial and frequently visited sites on the net.
