In his newest articles and newest book he has been pushing that you must spar and its the most important thing for jkd and self defense. It was alot different than alot of his previous writings.

Wow.  It's nice that he specifically listed Jeet Kune Do Unlimited, not just JKD.

It is wonderful that Burton gets this great recognition from such a respected JKD man..

How lucky we are to have a teacher such as Burton.

Thank you, Burton, for everything!

I'm sorry... Maybe I am going to chock some, but since I am not american, I have the advantage of not knowing so well this Dr. Jerry, so I read the article with no pre concept regarding him or the reading.
And let me say his top ten effective martial arts...
Reading it, I ended up feeling that he missed some shots, there.
Arnis is a too wider definition, that can refer to some good filipino systems, or some bad (they exist, also). Even good systems, trained in the wrong way, can end up being worst then not so good systems at first, trained the right way (for self defense purposes, of course, wish is the topic of the article).
Sorry to say, 100 fights of kyokushin make you hard, doesnt necessarly make you prepared to survive in the streets.
The knife defenses tought in most krav maga systems are not the best in the field, IMHO.
Kano Jiu Jitsu is trained in a way any effective system becomes ineffective. Most traditional ju Jitsu schools dont spar, dont pressure test techniques, so they play soccer very well, with no ball.

I am not going to analise the rest, but I will refer to the idea that Burton and us should feel proud of this person's compliment.

Again, I urge you to forgive me if I am looking at this the wrong way, but for me Dr.Jerry "recognition" of Burton Richardson's JKD Unlimited is like watching a duck analysing an eagle's method of flying... (no offense here, just my thougts...)

I believe it has come the time to see others satisfied with Burton's recognition and approval of their systems, validating them as effective for street application, and not the other way around...
