Its also about maiming vital points, breaking joints, and being merciless. Lee devised a specific set of tools that worked for him based on experience. Basically he tryed to cover all angles and ranges with the least amount of techniques. Speed, power, etc. were of prime concern for him when fighting, thus the techniques that worked for Lee may not work for someone with less speed, etc. he worked his techniques to no end so as not even having to think for a fraction of a second before responding. He strived to understand the basic truth of combat without putting any names to it, thus his statement of not fussing over what JKD is or isn't, as its only a name, and when ever something has been named or classified it doesn't represent absolte truth. The tao that can be named is not the tao.
