For the record ...
I'm not a big one on fraud-busting or witch-hunting. I'm aware that there are some styles that have more advanced study than others and styles can vary in approach based upon philosophy of motion, stance, grip, etcetera. And I don't pretend to know all there is to know, or even enough to really judge many other people. Nor do I pretend to be some great warrior or fantastic talent ... because I'm not.
But see, isn't that the point, Mr. Calkins? That we don't pretend to be some stellar talent, well-connected superstar, mighty warrior ... even if we are?
I think, no matter what anyone has to say - and I've said this before - that Bob Hubbard is MORE than fair in allowing people to prove themselves, giving them the opportunity to be honest, correct their mistakes, bite their tongues, retract their statements, protect their identities, etcetera. I believe he offers this in a sincere attempt at brotherhood, commonality, friendship. And it pains me (truly) when things come down to this.
Whatever your style, your credentials, your affiliations, your talent, I wish you enlightenment, good training, health and wellness now and in your future. And luck. Lots and lots of luck.
