I always find it a little funny when people start demanding background info on others and at the same time aren't even using their real name... This is a forum that allows anonymity, which means you have to debate the idea alone, not the person. It has it's ups and downs, but just like schools, their are all sorts of options on places to discuss martial arts that have different rules and cultures.

If you go to a
- Judo forum and suggest that they should add no-gi wrestle,
- Taiji forum and suggest that they should add weight lifting,
- WC forum and suggest that they should add body rotation,
- SC forum and suggest that they should add ground game,
- ...
into their training, Some people may think that you like to discuss MA in general. Some people may think that you are "style basing".
If you are afraid to express your opinion, the internet is not for you.

That's an awful high horse. All I did was ask your background and experience. I do believe that part of the debate involves understanding the qualifications to "judge"...if the qualifications are not there, then why discuss further? If they are there, then a discussion can happen.

As I said to him before he's a Kung fu guy. A lot of people will say Kung fu is ineffective and useless and full of frauds who can't fight so does he have the right to say anything about anyone else's style. It all becomes an ego game he can say my style sucks I can say his sucks. I can go tell someone do boxing not judo he could tell the same person do judo not boxing. There's to many arrogant people (the op included) who thinks they know what everyone needs to do with their life. In my eyes people can do what they want make their own mistakes if they are making mistakes and learn from them if need be that's life. If someone's enjoys a style that may or may not be effective what's that got to do with me who am I to spoil someone's enjoyment of something.
But as we've seen multiple times has a high opinion of himself

Boxing, kickboxing, kenpo black belt, Muay Thai and Jiu Jitsu with a small amount of ishinryu, taekwondo and Kung fu (those ones are literally a few months of each so I don't count those as my main styles)

That really doesn't tell anyone anything aside from the fact that you go to a lot of places. The amount of time you spent training in each, where at, etc. That is what is helpful. Who was your instructor...those are the things that will help others form a good picture.

Same can be said for any style
On the other hand, when you have seen a clip like this and you are afraid to say anything, you are not only untruthful to yourself, you are not doing MA community any good either.
It starts to get more interest after 2.00.

You are entitled to your opinion but in the end it's just that.....your opinion.
At least there are "contact" in this clip. I just don't believe you can move a person without even make any contact.
