Hi guys does anyone do this. I have been roped into going tomorrow night with a friend as her wants to do it and doesnt want to do it on his own. What can I expect and what your experience of it?

Can it defend against the Jew Claw?

It's an Oriental martial art.
Expect to do some warm-up exercises, stretching, etc, and maybe a bit of one on one practise at various attacks and defenses. Wear something loose like a rugby jersey and jogging bottoms for example.

Although this is a guess, I'll be surprised if it's not accurate

I used to do Judo, and this generally was the format

... probably the same with all martial arts

I thought JKD is more of a method than a martial art, where you take what's useful from whatever martial arts you're studying and synergise them into your own style. And yeah, Bruce Lee developed it.
