So by fingers and moons do you mean chinna and back fist or finger strikes and open palm attacks.
Style is only defined by the limitations of a system of fighting and defending. So when in medatation ask yourself not "what are the weaknesses of thine enemy" but rather so what are your own weaknesses

I have always noticed a large similarity to many of BL's JKD concepts and the teachings of Sun Tzu's Art of War, I am just curious if anyone has noticed this as well. I feel that JKD is nothing new to the world, it has always been there. Much like Tao, not new to the world, just new to some people. Of course the Art of War is interperated on a larger, more military, scale. But it has, many times, been scaled to fit modern buisiness, art, game, martial qualities. I think JKD is a level of understanding one reaches at a point in their life. Of course not all reach this point. The beauty of Bruce is that he made it capable for people to reach this point through experimentation based on his concepts, which until now (disregarding Sun Tzu) has never been put into such detailed writings. Just looking for some feedback on this hypothosis.

that's not the end of the quote either.
We must look deeper at our own delusions to see what Bruce Lee was saying about our udnerstanding of martial art.
as an aside (perhaps)
My Master told me, "The only problem with Bruce Lee was that he forgot who he was talking to. You at least need the classical training to abandon it."
god of war
sure you do. But he can still address all people with that sentence. He is telling people who ARE classically trained that the classical mess needs to be abandoned. He tells it to those who are not trained as a warning for them not to get caught up in it...

Hi:
New to forum;Great forum!
Let me say this--As Oakland trained --Alot of what I see people call JKD!
We did not do that way.JKD dose mean intercepting Fist.
There is no interception in tan-pac-bil gee to thai -to kali ect.
I do enjoy doing these arts.But Bruce did say R.I.P. Classical man &
to repeat the verious arts in patterns & set ways.This is not the intent of the art.
We did simple motions & the program is way differant then others.I will post it
if you truely want to see it.Our terms are differant & ways were very Scientific-nontelegraphic motion that had(simplistic deployment & philosophicaly & self
exsploreation was adapted)
Im not knockin any styles as I enjoy kali-silat ect.
These were clearly not the intent of Bruce to cling to & claim as JKD.
Bruce stated ( If JKD is X & the style you represent is Y. To represent & teach y!You should drill its members according to the preachings of Y.Same for X!To justify the interfufusing of x & y is basicaly dinying of Y--But still calling it Y!A garden of roses can yeild only that!As will a garden of violets!
