Yes, I already know... I am a nobody and he is not obligated to tell nobodies on the internet anything.
I do not even care if he has really unusual skill. It is personally pointless to me, when the method is not possible to put into words.
Just because I read on an Olympic athletes training method, does not make me an Olympic level athlete either, but still
the method is understandable and quantifiable.
You said it, not being obligated to divulge anything on the internet.
Who said the method is not possible to put into words?
You.
Why don't you ask anyone whose been to 3 seminars or more if they understand the method?
Doing it, is another matter, doing it well...a lot of Shugyo/eating bitter required.
I've been to quite a few seminars with Dan over the past 5 years, whenever I get a chance.
I've got a couple hundred pages worth of notes from these seminars which include, theoretical explanations, practical exercises that marry with them, general discussions and comparisons between methods that various attendees have been exposed to.
There are no secrets between the people that train, I've shared what I have with people who are interested, have been to seminars and on the same page.
A few people here have them. We discuss our notes, share them between us in the hope they help us to jog our memory and ultimately understand the work better.
What we don't do is publicly argue about semantics, most discussions are held by PM, sorry if its not very entertaining
At the end of the day, it keeps getting repeated again and again, you need to feel this stuff, have it explained and put into context.
I have yet to meet someone who figured it out without being shown, Dan included. Once its yours, you can express it in a multitude of ways and arts.
Once you've felt it being done on you then explanations start to make sense and there is an obvious logic to it all.
Most seem to want to bypass this part assuming its something they've already felt, I certainly thought I had it pegged.
After feeling it a discussion can be had Eg. why didn't he release his grab, he could just punch him with the other hand etc.
The thing is most who have been to a few seminars already know the answers as they "have started to train the method themselves".
The arguments always seem to be had by parties that don't have hands on experience.
Of course, the other argument is that we have all been converted and willingly throw ourselves, tank, like looking stupid writhing around in pretend pain blah blah
I would have thought though, the same experience had by over 1,000 would say something?
Lets say Michael Jordan released a manual on his personal method of playing basketball and you read the manual and he attributed his success on visualisation, you would say its understandable and quantifiable? So your understanding wouldn't differ from a neurologist, or a fitness instructor or another professional basketball player. It would be the same because it was laid our in a manual. Or would you need MJ to personally explain what he meant, why, give you examples?
