Sorry Mike, but it does exist. I was looking at an original 1971 Oakland JKD curriculum just last week. Part of the confusion here may be the fact that different things were taught in Oakland, even in 1971, than were taught in LA.
Glad to hear of your HW lineage. I have been training in the Oakland school, and have not had the benefit of studying under LA. It would be great to compare notes some time. But my sense is that the JFGF that you know is an early form of Oakland JKD. JFGF may be vary different than LA JKD, but Oakland less so.
From what I have seen of HW, he likes the longer range. In OJKD, as it has evolved in my lineage, there is more of an emphasis on the close range, and thee is still a lot of Wing Chung influance.
