What is JKD?

Every time someone calls JKD a style, Bruce turns over.

Indeed XD

To say that it is a style is to say that it has specific rules and forms that absolutely must be adhered to- but that's exactly what he was trying to be rid of.

If you read Lee's writings, however, you do see that he did have a core group of concepts that he tended to stick with. The idea was to have sound concepts, and train the concepts in such a way that they were not bound by specific techniques.

Watch the old interview on Youtube with Brucee Lee, he explains it is a formless form like water, it can take any shape and be anything. The movements in it are created to be adapted to each individual so no two people will perform the same way.

We are to used to standard kartate or storefront karate schools that list, classify, and label every little thing and call it a requirement. Fighting is simply movement, not a set of pre-determined combinations, they should just be concepts allowing you to create your personal version of it.
