I totally agree! This is the truth. Bruce was about developing an individual's attributes. He didn't believe in trying to peg square holes.
On another subject--as far as us not knowing what Bruce meant to convey with his writings, the book "Zen in the Martial Arts" contains several examples where the author quizzed Bruce on some of his sayings. Get the book and you will hear it explained in Bruce's own words. My favorite Bruce saying is "If someone grabs you, hit em'." The simplicity here is incredibly complex. On my first day in Kenpo, the first thing the teacher did was ask the class "What do you do if someone grabs you?" He then proceeded to teach us a complex set of moves and punches and stupid stuff that was very confusing. Now if he was just teaching us a form for coordination and what not, that would have been one thing. But he was representing it as "self-defense". Trust me, if someone grabbed me after the class and I tried to perform the technique, I would have lost! Spending the time learning how to throw a punch, and how it feels to hit something, would have been much more beneficial.
