At least I represent myself for who I am. My name is Garland, and below my posts is my facebook profile. The only thing I don't give out is my SSN, my address, or my Credit Card info. I don't embellish myself to be more than I am...I'm just a normal dude.

Haha, very true.. sending you a FB request

it's good that you understand this

however many people will not keep it civilized when they run off arguments, what is actually tells a lot about their level of education

Go figure.

The problem I have with this line of thought, the whole "it's not the style it's the person", is only partially true. While it is true it's up to the individual to train hard, if the style is garbage from the get-go, training can even become detrimental. You might be able to "make it work", but you shouldn't have to when there are available effective styles out there with proven results.

To many martial artists use this "there is no bad style" as an excuse. There are bad styles, just as there are bad teachers and students. Of course, I'm sure this dead horse has been beaten more times than an aikido student in a bad neighborhood, so let's go back to discussing scb's ged.
