I always admired Bruce Lee. He is indeed a philosopher, teacher, true artist, a great man. In terms of Martial Arts, he combined almost everything, turned it simpler then made it as one. I want to learn about this JKD. Any one of you who knows Bruce Lee's JKD? And what made you choose it?

no such thing Jeet Kune Do is famous except Bruce Lee.... therefore, it is not in the art of Jeet Kune Do.... Jeet Kune Do will always be useless if you have no background in Kung Fu....

I believe I was referring to the arts itself, not in terms of fame. We all know JKD is a product of mixed martial arts out there. That's why JKD won't be formed without Kung Fu, Karate, Taikido, etc. This is also the reason why I admire Bruce Lee. He mixed various types of styles into one, plus taking out unnecessary movements and maximizing energy into every move. Thanks for responding

i have some corrections: Jeet Kune Do is NOT a product of Mixed Martial Arts.... because Mixed Martial Arts doesn't emphasize Defensive Deflecting, Blocking, Neutralizing, Yielding, Pushing Hands, Walking Hands, Returning Hands and Chi Sau.... another corrections: Karate is NOT present in the art of Jeet Kune Do, since Karate is a one two one two movement... while in the Art of Jeet Kune Do (Wing Chun Kung Fu based) not a one two concept but only one... one movement.... meaning... if the opponent attack you with a straight punch, you may defend it using offensive side kick to the chest... so it's a one movement, not a one two movement Karate is extremely useless because karate will block it first with Inside Block then a Side Kick to the chest, so, it's a one two movement..... not one.... another corrections: Jeet Kune Do is NOT a style, thus, it is a System... Style is very different compare to System.... in the world of Kung Fu, the art that comparing Style versus System: STYLE: Snake Style KungFu Praying Mantis Style KungFu Seven Star Praying Mantis Style KungFu Drunken Mantis Style KungFu Ang Family Style KungFu Monkey Style KungFu Shaolin Drunkard Style KungFu 8 Immortal Drunken Gods Style KungFu Plum Flower Fist Style KungFu Arhats Boxing Style KungFu SYSTEM: Pakua System KungFu Wing Chun System KungFu Five Elements System KungFu Tai Chi Chuan System KungFu Ngo Cho Kun Systems KungFu Choy Li Fut Systems KungFu
