I'm an officer in a large organization. I hate martial arts politics. None of the large organizations recognize me or have the slightest interest in my existence. In this system, we adapt the technique to fit the person. Do it the way I said to.
Competitions are a waste of time.
I've never won any competitions. Forms or kata are the highest expression of the inner essence of the martial arts. Kata or forms are useless. Bruce Lee said forms are useless. Please don't go to another school.
