    Actually I think this article sums up the issues well. JKD ‘Concepts’ vs. ‘Original’ JKD. The issue was, and is, never really Inosanto v Wong. Heck Inosanto originally didn't want to teach JKD. The name JKD concepts even came from the fact that he wasn't going to teach JKD at his seminars but only the foundational concepts.

    The rivalry, imo was created by their students. In cases like this it is usually that the followers and not the leaders cause the problems because the leaders, usually, don't have anything to prove.

    Interesting article, written by Chris Kent.



    After the grief of Bruce Lee’s death, Inosanto had the dilemma of promising to not commercialise JKD and keep his own career of teaching martial art. He opened the inosanto academy to teach the new martial art of Kali to the masses. As the article explains: people wanted the JKD in his seminars and not the kali stuff he was researching at the time. So he gave JKD seminars riding on the wave of post Bruce Lee fame.

    At the time he met Bruce Lee 1964, he had no knowledge of kali at that time, but had a kempo blackbelt. In his own “definitive Inosanto” DVD’s he said this as much. After the closer of Bruce Lee’s schools

    I was just gearing up to write about Bruce Lee. If Bruce Lee were alive as of November 27, 2010, he would be 70 years old. It’s practically impossible to imagine a 70 year-old Bruce Lee. And now I hear the sad news that one of Bruce Lee’s top students and closest friends, Ted Wong, has died.

    It seems like many of those who were close to Bruce Lee are slipping away from us all too quickly.

    I remember years ago when I was studying JKD with Tim Evans Sensei, and we had one of Ted Wong’s instructors come and give a seminar. This teacher asked what we thought Jeet Kune Do was. “Freedom,” was one answer. The instructor’s answer was that JKD was Bruce Lee’s personal art. (Here I am paraphrasing.) Bruce Lee was Chinese, spoke Chinese, and that his art was inextricably Chinese.

    Since the instructor himself was Chinese (as was his teacher, Ted Wong) and the audience was Filipino and Caucasian, the implied message seemed to be a twist on the old sign, “No Dogs or Caucasians Allowed.” Many people were upset, inferring racism or –at the least– chauvinism.

    But in time I came to see the point that was being made. The place to start is with Bruce Lee’s technique. That is JKD. That is the essence. Those core techniques
