I havent had the chance to watch the video yet, but it might be him. He's interviewed a lot of people connected to BL, over the years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't impressed but then again apart from a handful of JKD books I've not been impressed with any of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be interesting to hear what the late BL would have said about todays JKD family tree. It is a tree, becuase their are so many branches of it now. Despite the fact BL himself closed down his school's, and started to re-evaluate his theories/approach to the whole JKD thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are lots of schools calling what they do JKD but what they do bears no resemblance to Bruce's art, even when it comes to the very basic things and the basic principles they are way off. The real reason Bruce closed down the schools was because hardly anyone was coming to train on a regular basis. I can't go into specifics but this comes direct from some of Bruce's own students.

The very thing he wanted to avoid, which was a style and system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The very thing he wanted to avoid, which was a style and system. Bruce was completely obsessed with becoming the best (street) fighter on the planet. His art of JKD is based entirely around that, using the laws of physics and how to apply the human body in the most efficient way to achieve the goal of defeating an opponent. If people followed Bruce's guidelines that he laid out for the art then people that do JKD would all be doing something that looked pretty similar. As it is the overall standard of JKD worldwide is absolutely appalling! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
