Foreword of "The Straight Lead" by Shannon Lee Keasler (Bruce Lee's daughter):Quotation | Teri's ability to deliver the information clearly and concisely was instantly gratifying. The depth of her research is remarkable and her insight into the subject matter sound. I knew right away that her grasp was solid and that she was, of course, a student of Ted's. Reading her words has done my heart a lot of good. I am grateful for her writing ability. The text is fluid and well structured. It is a pleasure to read. Teri's research acts as a solid base upon which her instruction in JKD can stand firmly and securely. Her scientific explanations are pure and perfectly Jun Fan Jeet Kune Do. I am delighted ... And so, a book such as Teri's that is designed to shed a true light on many important aspects of JKD, in particular the straight lead, fills me with hope and inspiration.

Foreword of "The Straight Lead" by Ted Wong:Quotation | Truthfully, I have not seen anyone else - with the exception of Bruce Lee, that is - throw a a lead punch that is as fundamentally sound and technically refined. She's a natural straight shooter with both the front and rear head ... Teri's physical prowess is matched by an intellectual strength. Showing a sincere curiosity about the origins of JKD, she read and absorbed the published works of Bruce Lee and the authors who inspired him ... In retracing Lee's footsteps, Teri is thoughtful and clear in her words. Altogether, she presents a truly accurate perspective on the development of the straight lead, and a truly meaningful contribution to the study and appreciation of Jeet Kune Do and the man who created it, Bruce Lee.
Ted Wong, October 2004 []
