Uncle is a phenomenal practitioner. Learning from him is difficult. One of his favorite phrases is "struggle with it." He'll show several things - they have a common thread to them but it can be hard to spot - then he'll say, "OK. Now you struggle with it."
Once you start getting it, though, there's a *huge* wealth to be learned from the man.
I've only met Bob a few times and only trained with him once. He's a nice guy and good at communicating what he knows. While Bob has trained with Uncle, he's also got a lot of other influences that he draws from. If you want good training with some of Uncle's flavor then Bob would
If, however, you're specifically interested in Uncle's flavor of Kuntao Silat then I'd recommend you go to one of his seniors who has more specialized with Uncle. Since you're asking about Bob, I'd assume you're in the Denver area. If you're looking specifically for Uncle's flavor then I'd recommend visiting Keith Moffett's school (he's the only one running a public school and teaching material specifically from Uncle in the Denver area that I'm aware of).
