The closing of Bruce Lee's schools

unknown warrior · 04-09-2003, 08:53 AM

Can anyone tell me why do u think Bruce Lee closed his gung fu academies . I heard it was because he believed that his students believed there was some secret way of fighting hidden in JKD. Is this true? can anyone explain?

Cheers

He moved, so the school closed. He opened another where he moved to. Etc.

yeah but before he died he requested that no1 teach JKD and all the schools were to be closed for good.

In short, he didn't want his students to take the schools' method as "the" way.

Some were trying to teach at other areas. And bruce felt that many of the students were not getting it. it being that as you learn you learn to respond in doing. And taking things for granted That what you learn will work for every one is wrong Some people can use tools you can not. Each is different. You have to devlop your self while you learn thats also the cutting away of what is not needed. So I think this was part of the reason behind shutting down the schools. And bruce I think prefured a small class where he could also better his training needs.
