    Nice thing about dating myself is.... did I almost write what I think I was going to write?

    The crap that many schools do is not the crap I was taught or train in or teach.

    Dam nit... it made sense when it was running through my head.

    And I don't have to worry about those awkward silences during dinner.

    Man do I miss hiding under my a-bomb proof desk.

    Remember that joke Civil Defense Poster? It went something like, ( In case of a nuclear attack, stay away from all windows and glass. get in a doorway or under a desk. sit on the floor and put your head between your legs. Kiss your arse goodbye!)
    Oh my God, I just remembered the sirens on the telephone poles. Those suckers were loud! I guess some folks are having some problems related to living in fear. I don't remember living in fear, just being annoyed! My cage did get rattled on a day in Nov. of 63 when EVERY ADULT I ENCOUNTERED ALL DAY LONG WAS CRYING. Frankly I'm surprised it wasn't quite that way on 9/11.

    well, mike krivka is one of dan inosanto's students. so, regardless of whether i agree or disagree, it's a fairly predictable objection on his part.

    that said, i don't think i've ever read of guro inosanto disparaging these people.

    eh. whatever. politics make my head hurt.

    I remember those sirens going off everyday at noon. As kids we always knew when to head home to lunch.

    I think it was easy for most people to grasp Kennedy being shot, but the WTC attack was totally out of their experience.

    An error

    Ted Wong was certified instructor by Bruce Lee himself. I don't remember whether it was June Fan or JKD. I have seen a reprint of his certificate, signed by Lee. Ted also has not tried to capatilize on Lee's name, in fact he's kept a low profile. It was probably just an oversight by the author.

    I enjoy reading things that are honestly (bluntly?) stated. At least as they see them. And I've never seen an article by Inosanto criticizing anyone elses JKD. Same goes For Ted Wong. If anyone ever says anything critical about someone he quietly walks away. Which is something we all need to remember no matter what art we study, "do unto others as you would have them do unto you".

    fa_jing, thanks for the clarification. I thought that was the case.
