Pretty difficult to make your own style after two years of training. At that point, a person knows very, very little about martial arts.

I am not one to bash someone, but I get so disgusted of charletains and self-proclaimers.

Grant it, if someone had study , say ten years from a art that was later to be found bogus without previous knowledge, at least they have ten years of experience. this I can givecredit to.

i agree with 47 martial man...Any experience, good or bad, proven right or wrong is worth giving the credits to. I would like to note that as long as i have practiced martial arts, i never look at how much i know about fighting someone, but rather how much better i can use my mind and body positivly.
