The point was not to have every throw, choke and sub from judo but to have the simplest and most direct action. A solid hip throw and the odd variation is good enough against the goon on the street, not for the mat.

It wasn't as if he was advocating being a vigilante, whilst the Tao of JKD shows the method and thought behind JKD if you want to know what it is read his self defence books - that is JKD.
Ed Parker Ken-Po is not proper Taiwan Ken Po
Ed Parker was Lee's best friend in the states,and was heavily influenced by Lee
How dare you not know the difference?
know or care? and for that matter every self defence class is influenced by Lee

I think what is not in doubt is his athletic ability, determination and adaptability.
