You know, I am a hot tempered. Thanks for You advice Taison Trevek, still, congratulations

Thanks, LifesFist, I'm glad you appreciated it. No hard feelings;-)

Taison, thanks, glad you enjoy it.

LifesFist, a serious question, if I may... what exactly DO you mean by a 'second-hand MAist'? It sounds an interesting concept and I would genuinely like to explore it more.

TREV:-)

Peace at last Basically it is a conformer.

Ah, I see. yes, makes sense. Would you also include the term 'spoon-fed'(a favourite phrase of mine)?

That's a good one man! Unique I would say . Straight association with a helpless baby.

Yeah, it's quite good, isn't it? We use it in theatre to talk about a 'spoonfed audience', ie one which is served everything and doesn't need to think or work on something. Likewise, it can suggest a spoiled person who only wants other people to 'spoon it in' and they don't have to do any work, exploration etc.

I think the jkdc approach to the art and the ted wong approach are equally valid. There is no need to choose or take sides.
The BLF is immersed in its own political views. In my view, people can either choose to do southeast asian arts, fma, or mma in conjunction with jkd, or not! Just as some jkd guys do classical wing chun and some do not. Overall, the whole debate violates the zen notion of "be not for or against." My two cents.
Lee has been dead since 1973 and if he were alive today he would be 70. So we must move on, and there is more than one way to move on.

What?
