It depends on what you want put of the style. I assume JKD stands for Jeet Kun Do, which is an extremely effective martial art in its own right. However there is a very big difference betweenn it and Krav Maga. Krav Maga was designed for use by special forces. Jeet Kun Do was made by Bruce Lee as a form of self defense and largely for the love of martial arts themselves.

Krav Maga is meant to deal with enemy soldiers, it is not nice, it is not pretty. It is geared to ending a persons life, often with their own weapon. When it does go for incapacitation moves it is geared for bringing someone in for interrogation. A person does not need their arms and legs intact to be interrogated.

Jeet Kun Do is more geared to defuse a situation and beating an opponent with as little effort as possible and by causing as little harm is possible. You want to stop the guy, not tear his throat out.

Jeet Kun Do can be used to kill and Krav Maga can be used to stop some one withput hurting them, but that isn't what the styles were made to do.

A guy I know once said that Krav Maga took the "art" out of martial arts. In some ways he is correct.
