Nothing wrong with that; I was curious as to your reasons.Sure. I find it an interesting topic. Secondly, I think others may find it interesting. Thirdly, there is possibility to learn an application that I'm unfamiliar with by discussing it.
The same can be said of everyone else regarding everything else. You have no interest in WTF sparring but are not shy about posting in threads about it.As you mentioned, it is a free forum and it is for the exchange of information regarding to a topic. If any KKW practitioner finds no interest in the topic, they are under no obligation to post and will find a plethora of threads to their liking. Indeed, this thread isn't to discuss 'if' so much as to discuss 'what'. It is for those that see various applications, or would like to take a look at it openly. If they don't wish to look at the topic of discussion, then they really should be on to other topics of interest to them.
Actually, it is of relation to the topic and Puunui has more than the necessary experience to discuss the applications. So while the two of you may not get on all that well, his opinion on the topic is of value and relevant to your thread.Being a KKW senior is of no relation to the topic if that senior doesn't have the experience necessary to discuss various applications of a more in-depth nature, or wished to believe they don't exist. But again, this thread isn't designed for 'if' it is designed for 'what' and the conversation should remain on topic. That is my request as the OP to avoid rabbit trails and derail attempts.
As I said to Dirty Dog, the fact that a senior in the art considers it a waste of time and that his instructor, who was the chief editor of the taegeuk pumse, found it to be an exercise in futility actually does contribute, though not in the way you might like. You may not agree with the point of view of either gentlman, but it is relevant to the topic.
