To My Dear Friend Chris Kent,

Thank you so much for your kindness in sharing your book with me – You’ve unraveled the blinding fast motions of Bruce Lee’s mind-boggling, super-human explosions, and given to us simple mortal beings the ability and comprehension to go through the motions of succeeding in our aim for perfection, by opening our minds to understand the message that my friend, my teacher, gave his best to enlighten us – Walk on with humility, sincerity, and devotion, my friend –

With unending sincerity of brotherhood,
