As it appears in the text:
Jeet Kune Do - Not a mass art
Of my art-gung fu and jeet kune do- only one of 10,000 can handle it. It is a martial art. Complete offensive attacks. It is silly to think almost anyone can learn it. It isn't really contemporary forms of the art I teach. Mainly that which I work with - martial attack. It is really a smooth rhythmic expression of smashing the guy before he hits you, with any method available."
Let me just say; It's great to see some discussion on JKD on the forums...

"Tradition comes from when a master realises a truth, then teaches it to others; his source was the world around him. The tradition begins when students follow the doctrine but fail to see the truth it teaches. Martial Arts, like religion, are now the gospel.
So I assert; Seek not to follow in the footsteps of great men, but seek that which they themselves had sought."
