I have been to his school it is 5 miles from where I live. He does not teach anything even close to SD unless you call a horse stance and a straight punch SD. Here is what occured. He was training under Master Mullins he opened another SD school then told his students he was THE Master and GM The and EM Mullins were dead. He was taken to court for teaching CR material and told to stop . He is a money maker period; that is where these rumors of it is just for money are taken from , or part of it. Still why teach something or part of something. I feel the introduction of a new form will challenge the body in new and diverse ways. Those who stop at what they like or are good at are in my opinion resting on their haunches and not truly challenging themselves or their minds to grow. Can one use the forms for combat ? maybe not but in doing the form you train a concept say 1000 times and a punch or strike 5000 times then you will be a better tactician and fighter for it. As far as testing I dont care much for testing either but who am I to judge. I have done pre testing and I keep in mind why the person is there , fitness , anger mgmnt, or to loearn to fight or the art itself. I use that as a basis of passing or not passing a test And there ability in the form area is also involved. Why be like Jethro and quit at 6th grade when you can continue and get your Doctorate? Happy Thanksgiving all KC
