What style does your master teach? That may have something to do with it.
Freeing yourself from a styles limitation means to think for yourself, not to think what your instructor thinks just because he's your instructor. Within my JKD world I have come to few, if any, absolutes on my journey. The truth is different for each of us when it come to JKD, you need to find out what your truth is. That takes breaking away from the norm, going out and finding what works and what doesn't. It's not about walking into a school were someones say that this is the true, perfect or pure style of any art, whether it be JKD or something more traditional. The only true and perfect style of JKD is the one that works for you.
I don't think many people can comment on what Bruce Lee wanted for JKD. I don't think anybody here trained with him or spoke with him while he was alive, I may be wrong though. Every opinion is just that, and opinion. People can raise their arms and shout at the top of thier lungs and say he wanted this or that, see it says that on page 29 of this book that he wasn't alive to approve of, or see it's in the Tao.
With that said, my opinion is, I think he had the vision of a McDojo long before anyone else and he wanted no part of that.
