After Sijo Bruce Lee get injured in his spine by overexercising weight training , he had time to plan and build up the , best suitable martial way for a average person. He already had experience with Grand Master Ip Man's wing chun , and Karate from Taky Kimura and etc.. He then combine the spirit of each martial systems to his arsenal. Fencing theories and foot movements, boxing theries and foot and body movements , strategies, Mui tai and Savate to cover long range techniques , and wing chun for close range and jui justsu, ikido,judo,wrestling for grappling and ground fighting.
Sijo Bruce Lee created a new concept of hybrid system and he experimented those theories with world famous Karateka Joe Lewis and found out that these theories are practically usable. Also Bruce studied Kali, Nanchaku and Knife techniques form one of his closest friend , Dan Inosantho, who is famous for getting full instructor level of JKD while Bruce Lee is alive. Anyway JKD or "way of intercepting fist (or kick) " has been famous via Bruce Lee's films. As far as I can see Sijo Bruce Lee did show his way of expressing himself in those movies. As in Grappling, long range techniques, short range techniques, Wing chun applications, Kali and knife fightings and etc.
Now Many descendants of Bruce Lee such as Ted Wong, Dan Inosantho, Tim Tacket, Jerry Potteet, Richard Bustillo,late Larry Hartset, , and the 2nd generation such as Paul Vunak, Tommy Carruthers, Octavio Quintero and many are developing and evolving Concepts of JKD and keeping the Sijo Bruce Lee alive.
