	Over 30 years ago Bruce Lee said "to conform to only one art is to limit one's self," is truly evident today in the world of MMA. The world of MMA is a combination of stiking and ground fighting. Bruce was preaching this decades before. He is the founder of Jeet Kune Do. A style of martial arts that encompases all styles as to not limit one's self. My question is. Why would a professional fighter not want to learn Jeet Kune Do, instead of the typical Muai tai, and Jui-Jitsu, that most professional fighter's adopt? -----signature----- "Fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate, hate leads to suffering." -Yoda TPM "May the Force Be with You."

	You just said it yourself. JKD 'encompasses all styles'. BJJ and MT have proven over long periods of time to be the most effective in competition MMA, so that's what most MMA fighters use. -----signature----- Darth Revan Fan Club: Technical Specialist Uncle Eddie was my favourite wrestler Gentle Giant owns my bank account.

	From what I remember...and it has been a while since I read the book....so I could be wrong Wasn't Jeet Kune Do more about fluid movement, and not conforming to the old/traditional martial arts style fighting? -----signature----- " If you beat me.....I'm still the best"-Paul Newman," The Hustler" "I saw a guy lying there with an ankle holster.

	there is a fighting style that would most likely be better than any mentioned, but it isn't precisely designed for competition. krav maga. give it a look sometime, the entire principle is different than most martial arts. and it does take things from many other well established martial arts styles as well. so it also follows what bruce lee was saying. :snoopy -----signature----- Love comes in spurts. ~ Murphy's 51st Law of Sex Sex is one of the nine reasons for reincarnation; the other eight are unimportant.~ Murphy's 53rd Law of Sex
