Jkd
I have done about 3 years of krav maga, and have a green belt. I feel it would be very effective in a dark alley, maybe the best sytem out there for that. Krav also has a lot of boxing-type stuff in it, and kicks. Actually, krav maga is like dirty boxing (with elbows, eye gouges, head butts, etc.). But I feel that JKD is very similar to krav in its overall mentality (attack, don't defend, etc.). I know that boxers can do well on the street, because I have heard of many who have won on the street. But they sometimes break their hand, like Tyson when he hit Mitch Green.
One thing I would criticize a bit about krav maga vs. JKD is that krav maga doesn't focus enough on the centerline.
