As others have echoed I don't think the ritual is to difficult if people have a desire to learn it. Instead of asking if the Commandery is to difficult, I'd almost pose the question if it is still relevant to the younger generation? I believe that very few younger men join Masonry to march, and I also believe that very few thinks that the uniform of a knight should look like a naval uniform and chapeau.
Chris Hodapp had a good article a while ago about Making True Knights these days, and I believe he hit the nail on the head.
If younger Masons would find the content, experience and lessons relevant and worth their time they would join the organization.
