I think that is a great lesson and probably the best any of us can expect to do.

I grew up knowing about Bruce Lee but didn't really understand what all the fuss was about. I had friends who literally worshiped him and mourned over his death (some to this day) but I thought of him more as a n actor than a martial artist or teacher I guess. There were also those who felt they were better or that their style of fighting was better than Bruce Lee's. I think it's amazing though the reach that he had. I mean if he taught 12 people his JKD and they each taught 12 and they each taught 12... Imagine the impact he had! I'm using the number 12 but each person may have taught hundreds!
