word , watch this, credentials dont mean crap, you know why americans care about credentials ? it's becuase of their worldview and how american works, people see progress and view people VERTICALLY not horizontally, vertical progress is what's on paper, trophys, good grades, how much money you make and all that crap in life, but horizontal progress is not the material things, it's more of the personal things, such as growing as a person, leadership etc.... things you cant see
so in america where we go to school for an "X" amount of years to get a degree, get awards, i pay 10 bucks for something then i getsomething in return, but you know what, this totally doesnt go with chinese gung fu because, just look at the saying' courching tiger, hidden dragon....... do you gusy know what that means? it's a popular saying in kung fu that when you learn kung fu you should have no ego and just be humble to get better and to learn more, even if you are good there is still soemone better because the #1 guy still has yet to come out, like a crouching tiger , hidden dragon, i can get credentials easlily, join 8 step's sifu program, pay all my fees, take as many pictures as I can, email mantis sifus around the country , talk about crap like how i wanna help improve the art and talk aobut history and a few sets, and then go to tournaments and shake hands with these sifus, take pictures, win a few trophys cause tournament kung fu people out there suck and put all that crap in some brag binder, this is all credentials here, WOW, more of an american thing dont you see foo?
and like for me to say i'm meeting sifus and taking pictures, the typical american can easily buy into it, typical american like who? YOU!!! you freaks see like 1000 views when someone posts some crap on " CHI" but you see like 20 views on something like the " DAN TIEN" which is where the freakin chi is stored in the first place, good one guys, and also , it's pointless to argue about kung fu if person A is good and person B is a typical american cause person B has NO CLUE TO WHAT person A is talkin about, person A can talk about theoryt, application, sensnitivity, moving chi along the meridians etc, ther's no way to explain that to typcial foos likle you guys
look at jon funk, has all hte credentails, is this kun fu good? no, he cna't fight ,......imagine you are walking up and down the street around the block and see this old man in the garage pracrticing, and you learn from him for 20 years, do you have crednetials no!! it dont matter in the chiense culture for crednetials about kung fu....thats' more of an american thing, so you foos gotta realize here's a culture conflict, and i understand whY YOU GUY See things the way you do, but it's wrong budddyy. and you know what you foos think also, key words for marketing to americans is
