I have been looking to study various types of martial arts too see which one will grow on me most, currently i only study boxing - which i dont really consider to be much of an MA more of a sport the way it works.
I have been reading many books on JKD, starting with Tao of JKD, bruce lees commentarys on the martial way then i have read a couple of the smaller training books that were published by Ohara.
I think i pretty much understand the concepts of JKD and i do really like the idea of it. As far as i am aware there is only one school run a few miles to where i attend university (i already travel 2 hours everyday to get to university) called "impact martial arts", the sifu is Gary Gregory - and he only teaches private and small group lessons - so i don't think its possible but i will find out soon but until then. I know that it is fairly hard to learn any MA from a book or video, but i was wandering if the
World JKD Federation

is actually worth it - considering i think i have quite a quality amount of force in my punches (maybe not so much my kicks) would it be worth to learn from a dvd? I also have a brother who would possibly be interested aswell so actually practicing with a person shouldn't be a problem.
What do you guys think?
