To Steve Perez and anyone else willing to read this.
Thank you Steve for the nickname of Yoda. I like it!
If you want to know a bit about me, at least, I do not have a long list of pen names or worse yet: PERSONALITIES like Palerider, Redthunder, SifuX and GMX which I strongly suspect of being one and the same person.
I have been into martial arts for about 40 years. The purpose was initially self-defense but there are many more reasons: discipline, body and mind conditioning, camaraderie (brotherhood) etc...
The end result is that, if I have to use it physically, I hope that quick and efficient reflex will come faster than what my opponent is hoping to throw at me, no matter what MA I have studied or prefer to use.
This commotion in our style (and many other styles if you read a few other threads of just this forum) as a few of us have already tried to point out, is due to the idea of grandeur of at least a couple of people. Ron S has been the one flueling Richard V.'s fire by being friend and foe depending on his personality of the day. Remember... Ron is on medications! Most of us have been respectful of GM Wong except for the few we have named over and over again.
Claims to fame, again by Ron S, will not make us gain respect for him. First second or last won't do a thing either!
I read a few forums and look at a few websites. The titles and claims are shocking!
If anyone, in our style, wants to call HIMSELF GM... we seriously question it.
If some want to claim that they are the sole inheritor of a style, we question it.
If they want to say that Bruce Lee, David Carradine and a list of other celebrities trained with GM Wong, we question it.
Some of us have repeatedly said that we do not belong to a clan or speak for our teachers or represent our teachers. I reason by myself and speak for myself. I think I can say that my teacher appreciate my efforts and I know that I don't have to like all of the people with whom I train but train with them, anyway.
Back to the point... Ron S. has started fires here and there. He has come back with the "Why can't we all get along?" line, or vowed to no longer participate in forums. I wish he WOULD no longer participate and do or have someone do a 5150 "check in" to a facility ASAP.
Sorry if I made you think more than you might be used to.
