The Evolution of Jeet Kune Do

Jeet Kune Do is characterized by its flexibility and adaptability, allowing instructors to continually reinvent the art based on personal insights and experiences. This quality, while a strength, can also lead to confusion, as so many variations exist that it becomes tricky to determine which is the 'true' form of Jeet Kune Do. While Bruce Lee encouraged the idea of personal expression within martial arts, there's a question of how much he truly intended practitioners to invent their own versions. The limited references in his extensive notes to the concept of creating a personal style indicate that a deeper understanding and commitment to training was likely what he envisioned for true mastery.
