Response to Just to Clarify.....

 

Sibak Dan,

It's not aht you tout the virtues of Kajukenbo, but the way you came in here and insulted everyone in the forum that caused the problem.

Now, even though there's nothing wrong with thinking that your system is the best, I doubt that you would find those other Professors and GMs appreciating your attitude. Harper, Bono, Bishop are all Kajukenbo through and through, but they don't just go around crapping on other systems either. In at least three seperate interviews with Sijo Emperado, he says to "Respect other styles" This sentiment is also echoed by every high ranking Kajukenbo guy I've known. I've personally heard GM Sedeno, GM Kingi, GM Doug Bunda and Prof. Bishop all talk highly of various other arts and practitioners. For instance, when Prof. Bishop introduced me to Frank Trejo several years ago, he told me after Mr. Trejo had left, "You should have seen him fight. He is an excellent fighter." And guess what? He's KENPO! That's what I mean by you needing to broaden your horizons. You haven't seen enough of the Kenpo world if you truly have that opinion. So be proud of your roots, but respect other styles.
