    Post deleting again?
    Some time ago in a different post on a different thread, you had called being taken outside "sumo"
    and that your old sifu asked why you did not do anything!!! So your stories can vary. I don't know what bong you use.

    One of the best martial artists I know personally says he ALWAYS goes to seminars and asks the most general and basic questions. You often get an interesting new angle on a subject you thought you knew back to front.

    Only in TCMA is keeping secrets and hiding ignorance seen as a good thing. Genuine ignorance isn't your fault. Wilful ignorance certainly is.

    Yep, spot on Andrew

    That's why I've basically walked away from the whole TCMA thing, I'd hang in there for the "secret techniques" if I thought there was any. But there isn't

    Give me a group of guys willing to train hard, ask questions, drop egos and work together to get results and I'll stay there.

    And TCMA seems to have lost that

    FWIW IMO-in a serious subject there can be distinctions between 3 things...

    1. deliberately keeping a secret- usually not a good idea,

    2. obfuscating with an air of mysticism- a bad idea

    3. things becoming or being made clearer as one progresses -an understandable phenomenon

    All 3 are a fair call joy.

    I'll be honest, as I get older I think more like you , WC really has spread way to far and really was intended for the select few.

    That's why this forum has such varying and entertaining opinions

    Yeah, fair call from a teaching perspective.

    My argument is with people too proud or afraid to ask questions, those who think they have nothing more to learn, and those who judge askers of questions as ignorant, misguided, disrespectful or threatening.

    The secret techniques are hard work, sweat, and healthy living.

    And, probably, sparring/rolling/whatever with people that are better than you as often as possible.

    Yeh, I worked the secret technique out for myself.

    And not probably regarding people better than .... I'd say definitely

    LMAO first he says he won’t respond to Alan because the Muppet brigade have joined the thread, then he types a detailed response to alan and all the said muppets individually (if we get a choice can I be Animal please?) and then deletes the thread right after writing the responses so people cant respond to him, how childish is this guy??

    Anyway good call on the mods for undeleting it

    As for the whole secrets and secrecy bit, I like Glenn left TCMA because of this and people claiming to know it all and not being confident to admit when they didn’t, the only reason I went back into TCMA was because I found a coach who (although he has over 3 decades in TCMA under a very well-known master and before that was already a sifu in hung gar and winh chun) is still happy to put on a white belt and take up training in Judo and BJJ, attend the local MMA club, and try out any seminar (TCMA< Hapanese, MMA) and gathering going to learn something new. If it wasn’t for him I would have never bothered with this stuff again

    I will be happy to go through the thread later tonight, when I am home from work, and clean it up a bit, but let's not always try to take our toys and leave the sand box when things do not go as we would like.
    Guess I was right. Kev, let go the ego man.. it's really pathetic.
