Well Ashtanga and Crusader atleast you both agree that this crap needs to stop.
As far as challenges on the internet we all know that they are always issued by people but are mostly never followed through with. Ash, I seem to remember several post where you were bashing Larry Hartsell and Dan and you actually offended a lot of people by your comments. Actually it wasn't what you said as much as how you said those things. And you had one or two guys come out and challenge you on here and then alot of private emails were exchanged between you and those two guys where you were giving all the conditions of the fight if it was to ever take place and it just continued. Now I am friends with both of those guys and have trained with one of them on a few occasions when he has made the trip to the place where I train. My point is, that WE ARE ALL guilty of letting our emotions get the best of us at one time or another especially when we are talking about a subject that we are all very passionate about. I also want to point out that when someone comes in to a public forum and starts talking in a negative manner about another instructor then it is to be expected for that instructor's students to get upset and try to take up for their instructor.
I am not saying that you can not say anything bad about other people in here just we keep in mind what we are saying and how it will be perceived by others that come along and read it.
We are martial artist and we should be better than that. This is the main thing that s wrong with JKD today...to many people go around bitching about other instructors and spend to much time putting other instructors down. If we would spend as much time working on ourselves and our martial arts and work on improving our fighting ability as we do complaining then we would all be great fighters.
Always take the high road my brothers and always be the bigger person.
