This I feel is part of the problem. These arts are very isolated. Its not uncommon for teachers to constantly be on the move and even students under the same teacher may never meet eachother. Martial arts are alot about personal expression. the artical by victor makes it seem like if you do not emulate his teacher, or him to the "T" then you have learned a fake art. Everyones different, and everyone fights differently.

I dont think thats what he was trying to say. I think he was saying that only through studying as many people who teach a a style as possible can you understand its true essance...everyone expresses these arts differently, if you see enough people teaching the same concept, eventually one of them will "click" with your own build and personality...its about grasping more than just the hair of the beast.
