To answer some quesions
Aota - I have the book "The Tao of Jeet Kune Do", that was the first ever JKD book that was written by Bruce Lee himself. Its more theory than actual forms and technique, it has a lot of "illustration" that explain how to counter a certain technique, a lot of them were simple technique, but some are advance that you can't just learn from a book. With that said, I think Bruce Lee's original intention of JKD was a set of theories behind a fighting system. I don't think or know how authentic a JKD school will be as it never took physical form when Bruce Lee started it, but of course, I suppose a school can be classified as a JKD school as long as it teaching align with theories outlined in the book. The rest (the moves, kick, punch, etc) are all something you can learn from any other martial art.
And thats exactly my point too, you are comparing 2 different kind of fruits
Amnell Thanks for the informative post. I did more research after your posting on Kenpo. And you are correct, the original "Kenpo", in Kanji, means "way of the fist", so esentially what you meant earlier as its equivilancy to "Martial Art" and "Kung Fu". I later on found a more recent style of Kenpo, which uses in Kanji means "Frequent Tutorial", I know this doesn't mean much as it was a direct translation. BUT, in both Japanese and Chinese saying (very old saying), what it mean is that you work hard on the art due to the lack of talent, I don't think that was the original intent, but somehow I found a bunch of different school in the state using this Kanji as their "Kenpo", and some in Japan, which makes me wonder if the original Kenpo is different from the modern day Kenpo, and I have a feeling that it may have really been originated from someone that has lower self regard and decided that he need to work harder because he doesn't believe that he is talented or something along that line.
Ok, enough on the origin of the work Kenpo, but is interesting to learn the background and history of different art
