    Abbate origianlly learned from a master he met in Chicago's China town. Ganji had to have gotten it from him. I think they all have ties to master John Tsai as well. I know Abbate does at least. I am not sure where Ganji fits into the picture. Untill I checked deeper into his site just now, I did not know they were connected at all, other than being in the same over all generation of Chicago MA's.
    Those that are the most sucessful are also the biggest failures. The difference between them and the rest of the failures is they keep getting up over and over again, until they finally succeed.

    lemme get this straight:
    1) it's a Chinese style developed in Okinawa and Japan in the 1800's and was taught in Japan by a Chinese teacher in the 1950's (by a master "Wong", no other names)

    2) it's historically a "closed door" system, yet somehow an American army serviceman gets a letter of introduction to study

    3) they call it kung fu (sory, gung fu), and swing around dan daos, but they wear gi's and use Japanese ranking and terminology

    anyone else's BS meter going off?

    BTW, Kobra Kai was based in Reseda, California, and as far as I know Sensei Kreese is no longer actively teaching...

    Check out the profiles. Some of those senseis are pretty light in experience.
    I quit after getting my first black belt because the school I was a part of was in the process of lowering their standards A painfully honest KC Elbows

    The crap that many schools do is not the crap I was taught or train in or teach.

    Dam nit... it made sense when it was running through my head.
