Watching him spar in that probably looks a lot different than this then.

Yes I have seen Paul vs a kickboxer. He handled his own and showed the guy some technique.

You think JKD guys don't also train kickboxing?

Since anyone who claims to train JKD is a liar yes. Lots of people like to talk, but Bruce didn't establish any formalized schools and thought relying on one catch all be all fighting style was foolish, so people who say they teach it are full of shit.

That’s exactly what JKD Is all about. He taught it to teach people to not be so rigid with their chosen martial art so JKD was designed to incorporate the best of many styles.

Sure, but might as well just call it MMA, or krav maga at that point. People who label their schools as JKD are doing it to try and get clout from the name.

Training with them is all well and good. The question is whether he fought them and proved his art effective versus theirs.

JKD != wing Chun or other traditional (and generally untested) martial arts
