Yep. I used to travel overseas every year to seek out the best instruction I could find.
Didn't have a high income, so lived like an ascetic year-round to be able to achieve it ... you know, the warrior's way and all that.
What amazed me - and you know I'm not hassling you, @fwafwow, here! - is just how many people in the US didn't take up what amazing instruction they had available to them, in-country.
I get that the distances can be large, but the 'taken for grantedness', or not being grateful for what was available, used to amaze me.
The almost-opposite was people who would 'certificate bag' - travel from one instructor to another, collecting certificates (which they would keep in a folder and show at training events to others - why, I really never understood), but not seem to retain useful skills and knowledge - let alone wisdom.
I'm all for the JKD approach of absorb what is useful and discard the rest - and if I was in the US, I'd personally take a course from Jacob, Chris W, and Form, and learn what I could from each ... but what Form has posted above is correct. If you're in the US: you're all being offered something different from the rest, folks. Don't look this gift horse in the mouth.
