[QUOTE="kengar, post: 847341, member: 3230"] Regarding Jeet Kune Do, there are usually two kinds of JKD schools; Jun Fan/JKD & JKD Concept schools. Jun Fan kwoons tends towards teaching the style as Bruce Lee practiced it, with similar techniques and combinations. Lee was a great proponent for practical martial arts. Much of what you see on screen is choreogrpahed for film and not how he actually fought/trained (though certainly based upon his style). JKD Concepts kwoons usually teach Wing Chun/Escrima/Muay Thai and JKD Concepts, IME. The idea being that Lee's philosophy of "absorb what is useful" be applied by giving the student a grounding in several styles and techniques, then help him put it together into his own cohesive style. This approach has its detractors. They say that a student should focus on one style and -when sufficiently advanced- "customize" it to their own strengths & weaknesses. A JKD Concepts practitioner, they say, lacks integration and their "personal style" won't stand up to a unified style. JKD Concepts proponents counter that not everyone is built or moves like Bruce Lee, and his techniques aren't right for everyone. I had a friend in college who was a disciple under Francis Fong. Fong teaches JKD Concepts in the Atlanta area and is considered by many to be one the top sifus in the style (and the country). My money would have been on my friend in a street fight any day of the week. The lesson here? I don't know, honestly. I think it's the instructor and whether the style speaks to you more than anything else. PS - If there are any JKD students/instructors out there, please correct me if I have my information wrong. It's been a while since I was active in the Martial Arts and my memory is far from perfect. [/QUOTE]
