Home Country:  | Jeet Kune Do... only few can handle?
I was reading Bruce Lee:JKD, commentaries on the martial way, and it said in there that one of every 1000 people can handle my art. What does anybody think this means? do you believe it? and is this why so many people claim to be a jkd man, but are only few actually great at it?
P.s Not calling it a style or anything

Home Country: | I dont about it being arrogant in so much he maybe thinking many people cannot maintain the harsh discipline in his training.
I do agree, that much more reading from that quoted source has to be done.
What book is that from?
Please include the ISBN.

Home Country: | Or maybe he is saying that JKD is his art and it works for him where as everyone else needs to find what works for them. We would still need to see the original source, but that explanation sounds more Bruce Lee-ish | |

Few people can handle my art, but anyone can handle their own.

SORRY_I meant did he think that few people can handle it that are Chinese or non Chinese?
Does he imply that it isnt a Chinese art meant for anyone to handle?

Home Country: | But I dont think it is a "self study" in a practiced sense. In other words, one cannot merely pick up vids and books on it, adhere too its philosophy, and actually lay claim to study it with said info.
