Yeah the videos and seminars and "certifications" is why I quit all commercial schools and went to garage training. I saw some tape where some JKD famous guy said " I will kick from MuaY THAI, TRAP WITH WING CHUN, BOB AND WEAVE FFOM BOXING AND THEN I CAN DO EITHER A KALI SWEEP, JUDO SWEEP, SILAT THROW AND THEN SUBMIT HIM WITH A BJJ SUBMISSION...."
Just absolutely ridiculous, what happened to the straight blast economy of motion simple techniques of JKD. I mean its all about money ,seminars and selling nice t-shirts. I mean you have so many martial arts its just ridiculous and to think that some teacher is a bjj blackbelt, muay thai teacher, Escrima, Bando, karate blackbelt all rolled into one just does not even make sense.
I wish we would just drop the JKD name and just call it training.
