I received this e-mail from Dr. beasley concerning this thread. i decided to post it>:
"Ian, as you know I coined the name "Original JKD". Back in 1985 the "original taste of Coke" became a counter to the "New" taste. Google Original Coke" if you want the whole story. Anyway I was writing about Bruce Lee's JKD as original or what became known as OJKD. Now it seems that everyone accepts the fact that Dan Inosanto created the JKD concepts method. JKDC was not created by Bruce Lee.
And today it looks like the JKD concept has been pretty much lost it's appeal to magazines. OJKD is the popular version that has won public acceptance. "
He's right. OJKD is very popular just like JKDC.
