if it wasnt designed for the streets then why didnt bruce lee compete?? because as he put it his ways of teaching wouldnt be allowed in most competition sports due to the fact they wer based on the most effective ways to fight streetfights!! to compete would contradict this. he gained his knowledge through running about about hong kong scrappin with half the city, mainly the local english skool down the road, he had his own gang lol, fighting on roof tops also on known occasion against armed fighters (there is film footage of this)! if u look at his notes in the tao of JKD he has about 3 pages on how to kick and stomp some one in the head when they are on the ground? why do you think he moved away from classical teachings, they were not effective in real life!! even that is not allowed in ufc, neither is eye gouging or groin kicks which are the first two primary targets in BL's mind??

how can u say it is not designd for street fighting??
