bruce lee stated several times he did not believe in styles and that jkd is a philosophy not a style
he even stated in this interview he did Not believe in styles why would he create one
No, you will find all kinds of concepts schools there. You are better off going to any MMA gym instead. All the "JKD" schools are based on Inosantos method which is not JKD even though he was a student of Lees. I have taken classes based on his idea of JKD and you are better off at an MMA gym. I am not saying the concepts is no good, it is but it really is just less intense MMA than you would get in an MMA gym and it's not JKD. The only reason people say it's just a philosophy is because of Inosanto who supports that so he can cash in on Bruce Lees name. Uninformed people go along with that idea which is wrong, see Ted Wong talk about it on his web page he was not a fan of Inosanto and what he did to the JKD name
I thought JKD was a philosophy and way of life as opposed to a martial art, but maybe i am wrong, its not my field of knowledge that one.
The Academy. JKD is MMA
EDIT: Only on YA could you get such a non answer to a simple question. Someone asks about JKD in Minnesota and you all take it as an invitation to play the end all be all of JKD.
Let me make it simple for you that talk so much but say so little.
JKD - “Adapt what is useful, reject what is useless, and add what is specifically your own.”
MMA - “Adapt what is useful, reject what is useless, and add what is specifically your own.”
“Adapt what is useful, reject what is useless, and add what is specifically your own.” - Bruce Lee
Then find something else to train.
