Yep it is. He created these forms that taught the fundamentals of his system. He then says he also taught the material he was taught by his teacher. If he was up front about this it wouldn't have been a big deal, but as it was passed off has traditional it calls into question everything that was ever taught.
The interesting thing is that some people had to hear it in court in order to believe it while many others could spot if a mile away.
I don't have a problem with him making up forms, but be honest about it.
One of the things about people in general is that they think that just because something is old it is better than a similar thing that is new, but just as with everything else in life, buyer beware!
A form should be judged on its own merits not on its age.
I'm thinking of someone else who made it all up, too.

Who Gives a Rats Ass?
I do not condone presenting fraudulant / made up material as true and authentic forms from a given system.
However, if you have enough skill and understanding of the theory and principles of your given system, the forms or material you make up your self will in itself be a represenative of the system, will it not?
I made up a small practice drill / form for my childrens curriculum. Am I fruadulently representing my system?
Really... who cares what other people do. Some of you guys argue about the most stupid and irrelavant MA tyopics.

You have to appreciate the irony that after all the effort put forth by The to maintain the romantic wuxia illusion of lineage among his followers as soon as his ability to profit from it is in jeopardy he readily admits to fabricating a majority of the material.
LOL!! Now THAT is funny!
I wonder if that includes the thousand 9 yellow bee's (or whatever) form?

Kung Fu is good for you.
YOu've already made claim you were an SD guy. If you were legit, you'd lay it out and we'd eat crow.
So, can you do that? Cause I'd be happy to eat crow if you are in a legit lineage of a legit art and not an SD person who thinks they're practicing some ancient art when in fact they're doing mediocre kempo karate at best.
