I was just thinking while replying to a post. Since i've done a whole heap of martial arts and have various experience as a crosstrainer - i was thinking that i might eventually try and make my own self-defense system. Or perhaps i should read more into JKD. I want to eventually run a school and if i don't do JKD or make my own art then it's gonna b plain old kickboxing or karate. Maybe i could call it Gus-Do (hehe, get it? gusto - as in the word... hahaha)

If you take JKD, you'll find that you're taking something based on some styles and ideas, but the entire meaning and style of JKD from beyond that, would be how the instructor teaches it. Hence, "The artless art". It's just creating and using techniques yourself or from other systems and incorporating them into a style that suits you. JKD in it's essence, is basically your own style, but it's commonly known to be based on some basics, like Wing Chun, Western Boxing and the like.
It uses trapping and feints and whatnot too, which is some of the basis for the idea, but the idea of JKD is not to have a pattern, but simply to be dynamic and alive, not just executing techniques that have been burned into your mind and possibly limit you from being dynamic enough to adapt to a real situation that you might need to make use of other things. Or, actually, reading over your post again, you seem that you might know this already -- even though I probably didn't explain it well.

Therefore it calls for more intelligence when fighting right? Like use your own imagination and not stick to one way of standing or whatnot...?
