Richard Vigslist

Richard Vigslist has never been just one thing. He began martial arts at five under a strict Chinese teacher and never stopped — thirty years in Jeet Kune Do (fifteen under Gary Dill), a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt, and founder of the Jeet Kune Do World Council. He is also the founder of Nuvira Technologies, where his work includes quantum computing research, and the force behind NTE (Nuvira Tech Enterprises) — his entertainment company spanning music, books, film, and more. Richard is the author of The Co-Creation of Jeet Kune Do: Bruce Lee and the Silent Architect — the definitive account of James Yimm Lee's role in the birth of Jeet Kune Do — along with Meditations, Proverbs of Violence, and Mythos and the Phoenix Feather. Decades of hard training, high-risk work, and teaching around the world have taken their toll, and arthritis has made typing all but impossible. So Richard works the way he has always taught: by voice. Every future book is directed by Richard and brought to the page with AI assistance — his ideas, his experience, his voice — published through NTE Publishing: human creativity amplified by technology, never replaced by it.
