I'll Play.

JKD,

lack for sparring, over emphasis on pad work
No defense for kicks inside boxing/Trapping range
Lack of conditioning and stretching in teaching, leading to limited flexibility and range.
Poor protection of the mid section.
Lack of adequate kicking technique, range, and versatility


MT

Over Emphasis on rear leg kicks.
Reliance on higher levels of conditioning to the exclusion of technique.
Some schools only do padwork and do not spar.
Guard is often carried too high.
Forward facing stance leaves large openings.
Sometimes crippling injuries in training lead to a decrease in long term effectiveness.


And before somebody decides to go there, I essentially train JKD, with some modifications at the core.
