How many of you have .......
Another one I'm going to throw out there for discussion (Hopefully!):
How many of you have actually met or trained with the current head of your association, school and or style?
Is it important to do so???
If not, do you train under one of their representatives?
Are you a member of an Association/style whose chief instructor is someone you have never met?
As a Shaolin layman disciple, this doesn't quite apply.
I've met with the Abbot many times. He is gracious enough to provide an exclusive interview with me for our annual Shaolin specials. But I've never trained with him. Shaolin Temple is massive and the Abbot don't roll that way. ;)
I'm going to see him again next month
I'm going to shut up about this now. ;)
