That is pretty much the grading system in all JKD style.

But having said that JKD is no style, its a fyting system. Bruce Lee always said you cant fight in a pattern or style because an attack may be baffling and disguiesd.

JKD was formulated by the great Bruce Lee. It was concocted with heaps of different styles that Bruce studied through out his life. Wing Chun, Karate, Wrestling, Choy Li Fut etc.

He took what works and left the things that diddn't. He simplified all the basic move to give them more power with out all the fany daning around.
