JKD is mix or martial arts, you are trying to add on to that that it is picking the stuff that works.
you arent saying anything.

I've had my share of knife, beer bottle, biting, getting shot at encounters, so no, it's not "just a lot of reading" again. Sorry, video on the matter is the same as yours....
It is ironic you and anyone else assume someone's "experience" in such matters depends upon their age.
I believe someone posted something about you Ghost (or Bri), to the effect that you also came from a rough background. I find it hard to believe you have never encountered "kids" colder, more "street-wise" then all those DVD producing "masters" put together.
Looking at JKD from that, it's "scientific street fighting,"
principles of energy and striking transfer, leverage, power generation, anges of attack and so forth, and
not some mix of martial arts
techniques.
In fact, FMA is
somewhat like that. In it's focus on angles of attack, for example. Wherein a straight thrust with a fist, foot, knife, pole, what have you, for example, is treated
not according to what
technique it is but to what
angle it is coming from, hence, it is much more flexible and adaptable in that area, than techniques focused arts.
You've obviously never heard of nor encountered "kids" who grow up in, choose, have violent worlds forced upon them, kids as cold as a human being can become - who well know a thing or two we could all learn from where surviving violent encounters are concerned.
