Jim,

Many of us have tried to make this about the system but there is a group that is trying to take over and promoting themselfs as you can clearly see. Its hard not to confront them when they are doing what our teacher did not want them to do. Unfortunately I agree with you, maybe it is time to shut this down.

This is my last post on this particular thread... I have said my truth and feel no additional need to respond.

I'm sick of the insinuations and the fight for 'Sensei loved me the best' or 'I want to control the system... It's my turn!'.

I admit I personally have a problem with Viggiano and will not bore you in the details on this thread as it is personal.

I want to see the continuation of discussion of our system and therefore started a new thread named "Discussion of Isshinshorinji Ryu".

All are welcome to join in its discussion but leave your attitudes and issues behind as I am doing here.
I hope to see all of you (alright, not all of you ) in active respectful discussion on this new thread.

Carl

good People,

Im going to lock this thread down, another thread has been created to discuss the system specifically and ensure you have a location to meet/greet each other - I hope with the correct martial arts attitude.

No one should feel this is personal, I just dont want the thread to spiral into personal battles - this we you all have a fresh start and I hope will discuss the system as friends.

I wish you all well!

My reply to this thread will 'bump' it to the top of the forum to ensure all those interested can see a second thread has been created to discuss this system etc etc.

after that, once it disappears of the first screen users will need to search for it.

Here is the new threads location -
