By the by, I think they have misunderstood their “Guru." I do not believe that Sifu Dan has portrayed the history in the way that it has been stated by his followers here. If he were to come to this forum using a pseudonym, and repeat what he has already said in print, they would crucify him as a heretic.

The LA school has eclipsed the other branches of the tree in terms of the number of instructors and students, and now those instructors and students want to prune off the other branches of learning. This must be human nature because it seems to be repeated with every religion.

Funny how Bruce foresaw all of this and closed the Seattle and LA schools (Oakland was effectively closed following Sifu James death).

Good luck on the pathless path Liberty. I have been impressed with your ability and interest in researching the art.
