Martin:
I am not a ardent follower of any specific art.
I will borrow and steal techniques from any school that I find useful for me.
I found that JKD was one of the first schools to break out of the rigid kata and repetition belt mills.
The techniques that I prefer have practical application, not artistic beauty.
This seems to me to be the core of the Gutterfighting schools and Kill or Be Killed techniques. I like that and the ability to grab whatever is at hand to use for a weapon, in addition to whatever I brought with me.
NDD knows Kelly, and I have spent some time hanging with one of his associates. I thought the techniques were devastating and in keeping with an offensive warrior mind set.

The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat." - President Theodore Roosevelt, 1910
