"It started to be reliant on brute strength, losing its original grace and agility"
Well, I can tell you that this was and is not true at all! Far from it! I dont dispute that you found this somewhere on the internet, but what a bunch of crap... I will agree that internal / external conditioning was a big deal and was trained just as hard as their fighting. Clashing with another fighter, well, this is still a principle, but "only" if you know your skill is superior. The rest, dont right bogus.... I'm not going to dispute this through another 100 pages. It is what it is...
Take care.

Sean, for whatever reason(s) you seem to be fancinated with coming on here to enlighten everyone. Your opinions of M. Sin are the only ones that I really take issue with when you accuse him of getting DVDs on the China trips. If you have something to back it up then do it, otherwise you come off sounding like an azz. Just me, I wouldn't post something accusing someone whom I do not care for of something if I couldn't back it up.

Ever notice how virtually everyone agrees that 95% of all traditional schools are crap, but NOBODY ever admits to being in that 5%? Don't judge... your skill may suck also...

Rude? No... not even close
Abrupt? Yeah probably by any definition
Abraisive? Yeah most likely
In order? For him... yeah.
There's been close to if not 500 pages & thousands of posts on this along with a couple of emails and he refuses to even subscribe to the notions that SD is not all it says it is or is made out to be.
Other SD players, while maintaining the loyalty to SD & ST respectively & respectably, even concede some of these opinions and facts brought forward by these posts on this thread. His last attempt at "proof" even brought a fellow SD-er out as calling BS on his "source".
If everybody in the whole wide world side "the sky is blue, don't you think", he'd sit there going "nah... it's red because I was told so & have seen it for myself" when he looks at the exact same sky as everybody else.
I have no intention or desire to "convert" anybody away from SD. I bring a degree of exposure to other arts to the table to my SD friends & many hours of research and truth seeking as well. I present what I know as I know it as I was exposed to & found it.
If a SDer sees as it is & goes "gee... maybe things aren't alright" & moves on, so be it. If not, so be it. But for the sake of common sense don't say "we (SD) are right you are not" when example on example has been given on missing & incorrect training techniques for specific sets that SD has appropriated & laid claim to in published writing (which is also wrong) because the foundation in generally recognized & accepted CMAs isn't there.
Go 500!!!

Nothing is perfect, surely you know that. I really doubt that only a few even know what is meant by the kool-aid comments. I think it occured around '78.
What is real?
What really is at the root of your discontent? Just wondering.

I think it was 78 or so. Maybe 77... I was in elementary school when I remember hearing about it.
The root of my discontentment?? Honesty, integrety, factual information etc... on what is being taught...
Never once have I said it didn't work, wasn't effective or anything of the like. I've never take shots at the people & their ability to use what's been taught to them. I've said & maintained it is not what it is professed to be.

Man you are a Joke I dont know you but I have only spokem with you maybe once E Mail. I still wait for you to prove your point. My opinion is you couldnt take the training and quit. If you cant take it what is your point then ? You are rude and disrespectful. As far as admitting something You show some proof and I will. You listed some things that arent Shaolin I showed you how they were. You act like a baby and sull up if you are proven wrong. Get a Job make something of your self. KC

Dude, that wasn't the first time. I didn't want to go through 499 pages to find more of it.
I am in no way saying you left for the wrong reasons, I don't know anything about you other than meeting once. Just don't care for you coming on here to have the reader think that you, as a former SDer, are implying something that I think is offensive. Nothing more or less.
