can u teach your self JKD?

I'm a maniac when it comes to bruce lee i know everything about him ive even bought every book i can buy associated with him, like how he biult his body over the years and advanced techniques. I wnt to know if its not to silly to believe that u can teach ur self JKD?

can you teach your self something you dont know?? who will correct you if u do something wrong? i gusse ur other you

IMHO You can only really learn JKD if you have a solid grounding in another art. This experience will make it so much easier to understand the principles that Lee uses. My personal thinking on learning JKD, is that it's best to find an instructor- however if you are already learning another MA then you can incorporate JKD principles into your MA.

But I think you must have some kind of instructor or experienced MAist, or you will make many fundamental mistakes in how you absorb JKD ideas. I'm afraid I would always advise finding a JKD or other MA school, before you begin trying to teach yourself an MA from books/ videos etc.

Ummm... I don't know if this is just your english again Chakuy, but I think it is certainly possible to learn something you don't know already. For instance, I taught my self classical Greek and managed to get an A grade in the national exams- all from a couple of text books and a lot of hard studying.
