I think I got into JKD not long after getting into boxing. At some point around the end of my senior year of high school I watched ETD with the same friend who got me into boxing. (this was about 9 years ago). We kept watching the scene with the pak sao against Bob Wall? and were just amazed at Bruce's speed. The other thing that drove my interest was his trapping. Until that point, I'd never even heard of trapping. The next week I looked up some instructors in the phone book. Unfortunately I could find any JKD guys. Eventually I wised up and called some of the local Karate joints, all of which recommended me to the same guy--Dave Durch. I checked him out and lo and behold he was the real deal. From there I was hooked, not only on the concepts, but the philosophy as well. I'm still amazed at how fast I progressed in actual usable ability. Thanks Dave!
