Sulky? I used an analogy, Tez, to help explain the point that you seemed to have missed, namely that Mr. Weiss seems to be interested in some rather particular information instead of just a modern bunkai framework, no matter how effective it can be.
Are you sulking? I know you train with Mr. Abernethy and more power to you for it, but it's apples to oranges. The answer to all bunkai questions is not Iain Abernethy. In this case, we're not even really discussing bunkai. We're discussing historical intent of kata of the 'founders' which while related is not the same thing.
Sorry if that bugs you.
No offense intended, but I have to agree with Tez that your reply really wasn't necessary and added nothing to the thread. Although some of the flow of the thread has drifted to historical intent (and that is well and fine), the OP is SD from forms, which Abernathey Sensei is a pretty recognized authority. Whether one agrees with his premise or not is moot, what he teaches has had excellent results in real confrontations, the students are learning and enthusiasm is high for what he has to offer. That is a pretty good 'thumbs up' for what he offers and more than many.
