"The perfect way to do, is to be" ~ Lao Tzu
My point was that it is kind of contradictory to make a statement like no one on the forum is a martial artists and then make another stating that the forum is a virtual school.
If the posters are not martial artists then what can one hope to learn and why.
Kind of a tongue in cheek response if you get my meaning.
Some of us have devoted our lives to MA.
At times MA even defines Us.
We have fought and bleed and been broken for our MA.
We pride ourselves in being a martial artist, someone that takes a MA and makes it his/her own, lives and breathes it.
It's nice to know that one person can easily decide that we are not.
Psalms 144:1
Praise be my Lord my Rock,
He trains my hands for war, my fingers for battle !
I am definitely not an artist ,as for the martial part , well, that is another story

I really have no idea what history he has rewritten to his benefit. I do recall a old master came out after a rather long while and said he could no longer remain silent about Sergio's lies. Meaning? Prior he knew he was lying and supported him regardless? What does that make the master? A liar as well ? A man whom should not be fully trusted from that moment on without verifying everything that he says or writes? I don't know. I really don't care either way. But there is always 2 sides to a coin.
Please check your pm.
Sorry Glenn, that position is already taken:

I was thinking of ordering this and reviewing it, like I did with "Mastering Kung Fu" by Benny Meng et al, but at 49 Euros plus 25 for P&H, I've reconsidered. Over 100 AUD.
49 Euros? Is it printed using gold leaf? And $25 for P&H? Via SpaceX?
I prefer EBooks anyway. They are usually cheaper (hint).

Man oh man oh man! I don't get it.I really don't. I offer Hendrick Santo a perfectly open and honest apology for my views of his writings as contributed to Sifu Sergio's book which I still regard as an interesting read.
Despite him telling me via Private Messages on Facebook that he accepts the apology and then in the next breath gets all "shirty" and arrogant because I asked him for his research and opinions as I wanted to apply some to my own direction and try to get my own art looking back to its origins!!! In brief I had wanted to work with the guy to see, perhaps even learn more accurately where he was coming from.
I mean WTF?
I am not going to divulge the content of those Private Messages as that would be unethical and unprofessional... but I just cannot get this guy? I mean he basically agreed with me, accepted my apology fully and then turned around in a very short space of communications and said I was not sincere in my apology (Despite me giving him no reasons to think otherwise!) and that I was somehow "Baiting Him" Man, it's just crazy!
The level of mistrust and negativity he holds within must be terrible consuming and personally damaging to him.
I myself have grown tired of the type of debates of the mature I contributed to in the past on this matter. I had wanted and god knows tried to move on from that point but he just can't see beyond what must be his own arrogance. I mean, honestly I have no ill feelings towards the guy. I only know of him from his posts on this and other forums and of course some of the ideas that Sergio has expanded upon and wrote more clearly in his book (which I had though did some good for Hendrik) and yet he is imprisoned in some sort of self-indulgent paranoia and negativity. Wow!, what a way to live.
I'm sorry Hendrick, I truly am but your arrogance and paranoia do you and your research no favours.

A seeker of the way
ron u dont need no more rsearch, u bought all the certificates u need and ur an expert storyteller already.
wat u need is to get on hormone therapy and build some muscles because ur missing piece to success is image. u simply lack the strength power and speed to advertise urself well.
u also need to practice the wise kind master expression because u got a blank look on ur face
u upgraded from karate to kung fu but u have not upgraded urself.
