With the points you introduced I can agree with most jkd is to be used as a vehicle to asorb the personal needs of the person towards self discovery and yes it can bleed to other aspects of ones choice bascketball football ect. I get your point on that subject But Bruce utilized his JKD in the aspect of personal selfdefence stratigy first finding the need to better understand his personal weakness after his fight with Wong Jack in the oakland jun fan instutute after that point he radicalized has training curriculam in a rapid advancement towards what later became the building blocks of jkd slowly adding and taking away the various tools to improve and simlipfy its course of development thow his path was not complete the fondation has been layed to which the jorney to the discovery of jkd must start at the base of its structure then one may carry on its idea towards other aspects in life To keep jkd alive I think one must explore first the martial side of its devlopment then open its door to the aspects of enlightment jkd is understanding ones needs but some kind of format must acompany those needs be it gungfu or basketball Im still at the belief it was first meant to devlop the foundation of fighting skills first and harmony of movement action and self discovery but i just offer my veiw if you disagree it is fine that you do so
