Anonymous Unregistered	Just a quick question, what exactly is the JKD stance on weapons? I think I've heard that Bruce studied Kali or some other FMA, but I'm not exactly sure. Is there a standard of certain weapons or just the ideas off using them? Anything would be helpful, thanks. Joel

Anonymous Unregistered	No weapons in JKD, but the weapons that are natural to us, the human body. But because of the inclusion of kali on the part of inosanto, one can say that most jkd schools incorporate and aspect or two of fMA.

Anonymous Unregistered	It would seem Bruce Lee was proficient with the use of staff, nunchaku, sticks, knives, three section staff, hand gun. They seemed to be something he did on his own or for movies. I'm sure he had a lot of things he didn't teach people or that he didn't say was part of jkd.

Anonymous Unregistered	I have been taught kali in my "dojo". The single stick and the double stick go hand in hand with hands. Bruce Lee taught kali in JKD. I also learn knife fighting. I know JKD uses them.
