Chris that was an awesome and insightful post - thanks for sharing.

Eric's post on the other thread led me to revisit something that I wrote last month on the other forum:

There are many titles for what we call our Instructors in the martial arts community....

Probation!!

Is is just something about a matter being closed that bothers people?

He apologized. He noted that he was mistaken and credited him for his efforts. David clearly has a good opinion of him but...

I think Tai-Lik said it best in that the intention and structure of the movement have to remain in tact and adjusting the application to be effective to your body is acceptable provided you are not...

No the video that no one wants to see was from several years ago my trying to do Siu Sup Ji like 3 months after I learned it, nervous at performing and you could see my brain oozing out of my ear!!! ...

Wow that's a blast from the past can't believe I almost forgot.

Why not - just for the record - it's pretty much known that I don't train with Parrella anymore - so therefore - no bias or conspiring on my part against anyone.

I've followed and heard about...

Funny, I was thinking the same when "you" joined the discussion - I was here already but I guess that's what makes you "special".

Don't be a hater...

Yup. Nuff Said.

Dave / Chris - you know what guys like this, and the whole lot of repititious troglodytes don't warrant the recitation of your credentials. They want to see your accomplishments and what makes you...

I didn't say I was leaving the forum just that I wasn't arguing this point anymore.




As if...

My comments are the sole detraction from your pursuing meaningful discussions on the board. ...

Okay. I've accepted that it's easier to convince an athiest that there is a God with no substantial proof than it is to show SDers that there is more than what they are learning poorly - with an...

See comment about turtle and mountain. Then come back to me.

I didn't say I had uber experience - just more than you per your own admission. I've grown up in and/or around martial arts. So I've had exposure to Japanese, Korean, Chinese and Thai martial arts....

You need to include the statement to which I was responding in order for that to make sense. Which was that he and many other SD'ers have not prior exposure to CMA. Whereas, myself and others who...

Now with this statement - how is it that you and others with little or NO exposure to CMA feel able to attest to the validity of SD versus others who have spend 1/2 their lives or more practicing...

I know neither myself nor many others hear have claimed to do this for the "sake of Shaolin" nor have I ever claimed shaolin lineage. What I did comment on and not complained about - was that their...

Don't forget JCAT's "curious" thread which would make it even closer. Heck, Gene may as well just make a whole section for Shaolin Do where the same arguments can be had over, and over, and...

Sorry IMO this is just ridiculous. I've never seen a sign on any "Public" park discriminating against who may enter. The fact that they are public parks owned and operated by local governments...

You can expand, improve and drop ineffective or inefficient techniques and still remain true to the "core" of your art. It is your job to add on and improve with the times. None of us are in 18th,...

Actually I think by now everyone on this forum is aware of the "little bit of history" to which you refer. If you had 1/2 a brain you would realize that by no means has TCMA been bashed.

Since...

No but when someone sits behind "her" computer and talks to the other little women trying to flame a war past war with crap and insults while she remains anonymous the whole time...well you have no...

Wow how long did that take you? I think my 3 year old has more witt. Come on you should at least give me something to work with.
