bruce was into creating a street ready system that was simple, direct, and effective. i like some of what matt thornton has done, and bruce would definitely agreed with his "aliveness." don't know much about burton. i think he would have been more impressed with what some of the best reality martial arts/sd guys have done. they incorporate everything from nhb style training to mental/psychological warfare. this, in my opinion, is a far greater advancement than the development of physical skills alone. i say this is not to diminish what others have done, though. they have all made their mark, but i believe bruce was always about learning more. physical technique is not an end in and of itself in my opinion.
