All of you have missed the meaning in my post and argue with nothing solid. I was only saying if you use what is known then you limit yourself. JKD is infinite just like the mind of Bruce Lee, so when he died JKd did also(Bruce Lee's personal expression of the Martial Arts)But since youre alive why should you stop your growth. You have formulas to continue on. But what is your cause of ignorance? What was the last page of the TAO OF JKD --all about. what is self-knowledge!!!

Who put the tao together again...? Oh yea...IT WASNT BRUCE LEE!!!!!!!!!!!!

when will people realise you will only get it in person hand to hand from people not books

The Tao of Jeet Kune Do was put together by Gilbert Johnson, who passed away a few years back. It was a very small part of Bruce Lee's total writings. The rest of that particular work is what was published as "Jeet Kune Do: Commentaries On The Martial Way". To get the full picture, you need to read both books. Whereas "Tao of Jeet Kune Do" was somewhat vague, "Commentaries" is very clear in defining what Jeet Kune Do is, even outlining how Bruce Lee felt that Jeet Kune Do should be taught. To put too much faith in just the "Tao of Jeet Kune Do" is like concentrating on the finger so much that you miss all that the finger points to! In a limited view, so much valuable material is missed!

"Hit Hard, Hit Fast, Hit First - ALWAYS!"

"What is Jeet Kune Do (JKD)? Chinese martial art, definitely! It is a kind of Chinese martial art that does away with the distinction of branches, an art that rejects formality, an art that is liberated from tradition." __Bruce Lee
