Hello Dan,
I'm sure that he tells a different story now that his status in yiquan was upgraded to teacher. This person was my younger classmate and never really got the basics of our class down well due to his time spent with our teacher.
Last time I saw "that person" I felt that he hadn't improved much. For the purpose of aikido and whatever he has learned from you he might have made a vast improvement but not in yiquan. He spoke highly about you and what he learned but I was not interested. I feel well within my right to say that I don't feel training in your methods had made a big difference in his skills. I apologized if I've bruised that rather large ego of yours.
Not sure what comment you are referring to about horizontal power with the spine.In the systems I practice and teach horizontal rotation of the spine is an essential element for issuing certain types of force. It's alright that you believe it has no substance. It works quite well for me.
All the BS aside you might very well be highly skilled Dan. I don't know. I'll describe what I do in detail whenever someone asks as I don't believe in mysteries and hype. I even invite them to come and meet me. You seem to want to get people in the doors at your workshops and do a good job of it I might add. I don't begrudge anyone making a living teaching. Wish I could quit my accounting job and do the same.
As I wrote in the unusual power post I have had my power tried and tested many times and lauded by more than one recognized Chinese grandmaster including this past weekend so I'm in no need of recognition or pats on the back from you nor am I promoting what I do. I do not make a living teaching or giving workshops. I post here to share with others and sometimes meet with them for the purpose of learning and practicing. It is a public forum and by posting here one is open to criticism.
Good luck to you.
