Wow,
It says a lot that after a full day no one has comented on this post. Perhaps it is because everyone has been so nice the last few days that no one wants to ruffle some feathers. So here I am.
Sifu Dan says plainly that he considers himself to be a Silat practishioner. Wow.
I do not do Silate, but I have heard good things about it. Sifu Dan is on his own jurney of self enlightenment. Good for him. That is probably just what Bruce would want. But Sifu Dan's personal jurney is JKD only in the sence that it is his own personal JKD, as a consept.
Incresingly I see the posters here refering to what I might call "origonal JKD" as June Fan Gung Fu. I think that is useful to distinguish between the "JKD consepts" aproach and the actual techniques that Bruce used.
One concern I have over the termanology however is that JFGF is the name Bruce used for his method prior to using the name JKD. Are the posters here using JFGU as a term that is equivalent to "Origonal JKD", or are they (you) using it to describe what bruce and James Lee were doing befor the term JKD was coined. (sorry for the spelling, I am on the road and am posing without a spell check.)
