Well if you ask me...which you kind of did...I never doubted your ability in martial arts and especially real life application. Everyone has a bad day (I have had many) so I would never nail someone on one performance. Consistancy is what really counts. Besides some times it is hard to tell how good is someone from a form they do.

Frankly I can't imagine myself in a confrontation with one guy let alone a group with weapons.

It's just the whole approach to the controversy about lineage and disagreements. I think eveyone in this case is guilty of being a little childish.

Sometimes if we just let the past go and focus on the present. Start a new.

Like how so many people on this forum likes you...I would have never thought possible when you first showed up years ago...but here we are.
