THat was a good post. And I have to agree with most of what you pointed out. Even the part that JKD has to be yours. BUT at a starting point even in you training . One has to learn to find there own. JKd has its path in what Bruce handed down as the course of learning. THen after its all your own. And if you choose to go on and further your understanding great. We all start some where. And then go to other places or understand more of what we can do. In JKD be it Ojkd or concepts. And any fight training for that matter. Its goal should be that it becomes yours to do. Or you never really grasp it. JKd may be the baggage . If the person holds on to it as It must be done this way.But its free if the person Finds out how it can work for them. Just as what is being done in your gym. The students ther to have to train then try and try somemore to improve. And if they are improving and it shows. Then they are getting somwhere. You made good points And in the end what you said applies to all the training methods of any m/a . The person has to let go of what they learned to make it become alive in them. Or it is not any good to them. I guess what I may be saying .Is its not the art its how you asorb it.
