I don't know..

what all the hubbub is about to be honest.

My first thought when reading this is wow what alot of wasted energy trying to make a 50 year old point.
Then I realize the reason its not important to me is I never met Ed Parker. I never was able to see him move, or feel his power, or watch his ability to charm people and have people open up to him.

I realize I don't really care if Mills has his story right or wrong, and if the Tracy's have their stories right or wrong. It simply makes no difference to me. I know who I train with, I know good movement and good people when I see it. I already crosstrain in my art, so some old traditional values places on a pure or purified or whatever system already holds no value to me what so ever, since I see the value and benefits of what I do by training in multiple arts.

To be honest all this does is leave a negative opinion towards the Tracy's for what appears to be a vindictive nature. I have never gotten a trusthworthy feeling for Mills, so it just doesn't matter.... Interesting read? Sure. Important? Not anymore.

I already had read and come to my own conclusions that Ed Parker was ahead of his time, trained in multiple arts, used that knowledge from his own crosstraining to expand on his art as he taught it, and inspired people. He appears to myself after the fact and not ever knowing him as a person who was smart enough to take what he felt was important from any source and use it to help him pass on what he wanted to. The rest of this is only important to those that were there, or those that have a vested interest in the parties that were there..
