You are truly wasting your keystrokes. But consider the longer we go on the more some reveal who they are. It would really be best to go back on topic. Some when they don't have a real cogent argument, attack people personally and this thread bares that out.Flying Crane said:You may not care if you alienate the populace on Martialtalk, but your reputation will carry beyond the internet here into real life. People form opinions based on how others present themselves.
The strongest element there is about most kenpo is it's diversity that was promoted and encouraged by Ed Parker. Its practitioners speak volumes about alphabetical and numerical rearranging, inserts, deletions, prefixes, suffixes, grafting, and tailoring and changing everything to suit the individual instructors and students. They celebrate this diversity as the cornerstone of what they do to justify their non-traditional approach. Then someone has the nerve to say if you don't do it the way I and my teacher do it, then it isn't kenpo. The height of egotistical arrogant ignorance. Just beat on your chest with nothing positive to bring to a discussion, and howl at the moon. Use your Ignor button.
