You have your good ones and your bad ones. If you have quality instruction, then that instructor understands the effectiveness of flexibility and adaptation. A person needs guidance to develop the tools but ultimately must acknowledge their own unique physiology and psychology. When the two ends don't meet up you're limiting yourself and need to strike out on your own to find your true potential. Bruce came up with JKD, so named because he wanted a simple way to refer to what he was talking about. Unless you have real world experience you're taking someone's word for it, even if you have real world experience you could be trusting your luck. I have little personal conflict with kickboxing and jiu-jitsu but karate is always ten times more of a struggle for me to do because it fights my physiology.
