Chaos Theory Part 2

Guided Chaos training is the closest to fully realizing what Bruce Lee sought during his life. I say closest because I believe even Guided Chaos can be improved upon. My training in Guided Chaos allowed me to see way beyond the typical JKD practitioner. Instead of taking separate ideas and attempting to blend them, John Perkins took the idea that effective combat movement is the goal and not the blending of practical moves from different styles. The focus is on effective combative movement only limited by physical laws of motion and physiology. There is no need to memorize techniques, there are only the principles of movement and knowing how to use the body's weapons to incapacitate another person.

When I finally went to a Guided Chaos class and I put to practice what I only knew theoretically.

The closest I see to Guided Chaos in the JKD community is found in the Dog Brothers, Alive JKD, and . Outside JKD I can only see Systema and Krav Maga modern "formless" interpretations of traditional artsas the only

Inosanto's approach, Krav Maga, most MMA sports, and hybridized systems of traditional styles, all try to blend to achieve formlessness:
The method - they teach the essence of different styles and try to find the most practical way. The question they ask is, how can it be assimilated to suit you and to effectively incapacitate another body?
In Guided Chaos, formlessness is at the start:
The method - they teach how the body moves effectively in combat. The question they ask is, how can you use your body structure, and whatever weapons, with physical laws of motion to incapacitate another body?

And yet, even after all this, I feel like I'm sluggishly behind. I may have come to a martial arts enlightenment, but my training has been at an all time zero. I haven't trained as much as I've wanted these past six years. I've practiced a lot, I've also taught a lot. But my training has been few and far between, my progress has been stunted, not to mention feeling like a slob compared to how I was ten years ago.

Also he had a tendency to speak in Eastern mysticist terms, rather than give a straightforward explanation of his approach.

Some even think of JKD as a separate style itself, which is quite the opposite of Bruce Lee's philosophy.
