    Adam has some great views on TCMA and MA in general, a very function first type of guy from his article and books I have read.
    One of those the believes in dissecting forms to make them work.
    His view that kung fu must first and foremost be a fighting system is bang on in my view.

    Praise be my Lord my Rock,
    He trains my hands for war, my fingers for battle !

    Did some Pi Qua/Pek Gwa with him and some sword. Very skilled and knows the real applications. He would have been "bigger" here if he had sucked up and towed the "party line" but instead he told the truth! Go figure!

    Adam Hsu debunked myths and showed real applications when other teachers were trying to sell "party line" stuff like the "shaolin myth". His applications are spot on, demonstrate the "4 skills" and there was no fluff in anything I saw. So what did you hear/see?

    how to put this? Uh, guys with 3 students, teaching out of a garage in the middle of nowhere, upset that Adam Hsu is on the cover of every major magazine in the country I"ve heard similar stuff, then mentioned I actually studied with him, then got a lot of "well, you misunderstood me, blah blah"

    being famous does not mean it good. (paulie zink). I have seen both sides students and I saw what the nay sayers side was talking about. students don't make the teacher in all cases, but...
