If you genuinely want to learn the art and philosophy of Jeet Kune Do, then as g-bells says there is a defined path of study. It is a great path, taught by great instructors on the whole, so why not really experience JKD as opposed to re-inventing it?
However, if your goal is to do your own thing and walk your own path then that is great, but then why feel the need to use another man’s label? Do your own thing, call it your own thing, be your own man.
