I didn't say that testing something under combat conditions makes it JKD. It just proves that the move works against a resisting opponent. That is what I teach and allow my students to experience. If that sounds strange, what do you propose? Looking at books and theorizing? JKD, in my opinion, is personal. It is what works for you against someone who is fighting you. As for ground fighting, if you end up there without proper training, you will definitely be booted in the head. You won't have a chance.
