CHINA !!! this would explain why the japanese Gi looks like the Shaolin garb........ if you know the story you know how we came to using it ...what is the difference anyway???..and by the way GMT practices with shoes on...if you do not understand or follow the reasons why we have more japanese outward appearences then you are just a f**king idiot...as for the way the forms are done ...Sh**...they are done without fluidity.... but the forms themselves are purely chinese in origin...I understand that most of the people viewing this art are too judgemental, ( extra emphasis on the mental), and because what you have seen does not resemble what you know or practice you think that it must be Bullshido... not to mention the number it does on your ego...or else you would not state the senseless Bull Sh** that you do!!...well I invite anyone who lives in the L.A. area or not to contact me for instruction , conversation, or ....? I have many forms on tape( mostly of me doing them).... and when I transfer them to vcd or dvd I will be more than happy to send out some copies of them( not in there entirety) so when you want to talk sh** you better know what the F**K you are talking about or keep your mouth shut.....or someone might come along and show you where you are wrong ...and shut you the F**k up!!
Seriously, what's a tirade like this going to accomplish? :rolleyes: "Oh, ok, you're right and I'm wrong." Just let it go and don't get so angry. There are people here that are just looking for this type of emotion. As the saying goes, "don't feed the trolls"
