Hey Sean!
I agree with the need for training in other areas. I've trained in BJJ and Kali off and on for over 10 years. As I have said many times, it is really a matter of semantics. I believe that people should just call what they do what it really is. This idea that JKD is a living breathing system isn't true. JKD has core techniques that Bruce Lee was still teaching to his protege, Ted Wong, prior to his death. I suppose the concepts of JKD are living and breathing and can be applied to anything. But, JKD is not just a concept, no matter how convincing proponents of that premise, or people's misunderstanding of parables from Bruce Lee, may sound.
That is pretty much the only thing I disagree with.
