Wow! He was being nice and you still broke? He was forthright and honest about his opinion and was relatively civilized and you still lost your composure?
Reminds me of when I was arguing with an ex of mine. She would never EVER give any ground and when she was backed into a corner with no intelligent answer she would just lash out. Needless to say, the relationship didn't last long.
I think it's okay to be wrong. What isn't okay is when people can't ever admit to being wrong. We are all wrong all the time. Sometimes we know it, sometimes we don't. We all say things we wish we could take back or re-word for more clarity. When it's brought to our attention the grown up thing to do is to acknowledge the mistake and move on. Saying "FU man, FU(kc's words), what an @sshole(yours), bluh bluh" are words of frustration. Very irrational. Weak.

I really can't understand why it's so difficult for some to just be honest about the source of something. I have no problem admitting I learned the CLF Cheung Kune set, markers and all, off of a DVD, the only form I've ever learned that way. True, I've already been in CLF nearly 20 years by now, so it's not such a stretch to pick it up. I can't imagine trying to learn any set from CLF with no basics, apps, etc., etc., and only a karate background and trying to incorporate it, though.

I have to say, sir, you've done a lot better than that in your critiques before. You act like you've discovered some big secret. Sin The's school was called "Sin The Karate School," and even "Shaolin Karate-Do", starting back in the 60's. Back then I suspect if he called it "kung fu" no one would have known what he was talking about, but "karate" was not unheard of. I would also suspect back then more people, when they heard the word "karate," thought of Asian martial arts in general, and didn't know karate from judo. Although I wasn't there and have no authority for this, I've always theorized that GMT's school in Indonesia didn't get all hung up on what they called their "style," i.e. "kung fu" or anything else, and so when he started his classes in Lexington, Kentucky in the mid 60's, he just picked a name (or more accurately a "word") that back then was synonymous with "martial arts" in general, and he didn't care (or more likely didn't think about) people complaining, 50 years later, that it's not really "karate" in the sense of coming from Japan or Okinawa. Or maybe, with all the other Japanese traditions observed (uniforms like gi's, belts, "dan" ranking, "kata," etc.), the word "karate" was used in Indonesia, too.
And not knowing the difference was not just Kentucky. Here's soem trivia: read "Goldfinger," first published in the 50's, Ian Fleming talks about Oddjob's mastery of Karate like no one had ever heard of it, comparing it to judo "like a Howitzer is to a flyswatter," or something like that. (Fleming did the same thing in introducing Ninjitsu in "You Only Live Twice" a few years later; I think maybe the first Western mention of it in literature?).
But just saying "karate" on a sign or label doesn't mean it has its origins in Japanese or Okinawan arts. Of course you and many others have complained that using the word "Shaolin" in the same sign and label is bogus. If there is some karate elements in it, or it just looks that way to some people from some examples of its practitioners, that is one thing, but a word picked 50 years ago does not make it so.
