From the posts above, it seems the author is defending everything Green Dragon does as the "old way" of training but I would say that they just do some things well and some things poorly
Maybe that is because it is taken out of original context, I will have to go find the whole orighinal thread if it's still there. But how do you mean "poorly", in relation to what or to what goal? Curious.
