    Its a venereal disease dude, the fact is that most people don't get it treated untill it's too late because of what it is.

    Are you saying the individual was embarrassed so he let it eat him up instead of seeing a doctor?

    Syphilis goes dormant for many years after the initial exposure. If I recall correctly it can be up to 15-20 years.

    By then many people do not recognize the symptoms. Uneducated people do not always go to the doctor too.

    Greetings,

    Scott R. Brown is right on about the dormancy issue.

    The thing about this disease is that it is never erradicated. It can only be forced into dormancy. There have been cases of reactivated syphilss. A lot of people do not know this. This may have been the case with YCF. He may have had it addressed only to, unknowingly, have it resurface years later.

    As far as YCF having this I have heard it before. It is no big deal to me.

    Probably a combination of factors, like Scott mentioned.

    yes. he removed some difficult moves and modified postures for health oriented people.

    it is usually refered to as the yang chen fu large frame.

    however, there were also unmodified postures passing on
