300 years before Bruce Lee, English Bareknuckle Boxers had developed techniques based on fencing theory. They had also developed the idea of 'true times' and 'false times', grounds and governors, which informed a complete system of unarmed combat - pugilism. Bruce Lee's 'ideas' were nothing new - they were not even original.
100% correct. Lee took the useful bits of JKD from the western arts of old school boxing - Dempsey and especially Driscoll for the straight lead - and savate for kicks. Defense Dans La Rue and Bartitsu in Europe had done everything well before Lee. He claimed western arts as his own.
@britishrazorwit 30.000.000 years before English Bareknuckle Boxers, The Caveman had developed techniques based on surviving theory. The most complete surving style for Kombat, they was fighting with dinosaurs! And they win! So nothing new, nothing original.
That's crazy my boxing trainer taught me this a long time ago and he's not a JKD man. Jab goes first you body right behind it.

You do know that JKD at its most advance stages has discarded Wing Chun right?
Great video in terms of the hand before feet...
I'm just curious though, who was your teacher?
