Usually at their instigation
I am not trying to take the joy out of Itos training
I just redress what I believe to be falsehoods he propagates
As for Grahame I am never rude to him but look what he says about me above
Just because he doesn’t understand what I say
Others do it is them I am addressing
The reason they are offended is due to themselves not me
Most of you will never meet me so what does it matter what I say
I wish I had never used my own name but I thought it was the honest thing to do
I was not trying to promote myself here but offer some good information that I thought it might benifit others like it did me
Lately some of the stuff on here has been overly esoteric with little real knowledge,self serving ,leading nowhere or a repeat of AI information that may not have been correct in the first place
I am just offering an alternate view
If you don’t wish to see what I present here or wish to address my mode of speach feel free to tell me on the back channel

But… I don’t say anything “about you above”? I think you are confused.

Grahame you are right it is Bruce you were addressing
As usual I am oversensetive and totally wrong
I will give myself 7 uppercuts

Step off the mat and do 10 push ups please.

From you wayne:
'Ito you should realise you are an old man
Realise if you don’t have it at your age it isn’t coming'

This is all that I wanted to refer to. I should've put the quote in my first reply sorry. Carry on

That was in response to him always telling me how old I am
I look at his stiffness and disbalance and feel he is older than me functionally
So when he has a go at my age I answer
But you are right

Wayne, I don't understand why you're so obsessed with what I do or don't have.

I don't care.

I've gotten so much out of my studies that I really don't care what you think of it or what you think I may or may not have or may or may not get.

I understand, you've been at it 75 years and still don't have what you're looking for and that makes you crazy. I'm sorry.

Keep at it. Keep studying. Keep bragging online. Keep making sure you tell everybody else that they suck. That's going to make you feel better. That's going to make you feel like you haven't wasted your life on something that still hasn't actually made you one bit happier or more content.

You're always going to be afraid somebody else has gotten more than you. And you're still going to be lonely and miserable.

I'm sorry, Wayne. Maybe if you weren't such a dick you might not hate yourself so much and feel the need to lash out so much.

I still got that vegemite. One jar for every day you don't brag about yourself or insult somebody.

CAN HE DO IT, FOLKS?

Not a chance.

EVERY DAMN POST, Wayne.

Every single post.

I'm just participating in the discussion and you have to make the whole discussion about me.

YOU ARE OBSESSED.

Grow up.

Damn, that was funny LOL!

I just wish I could participate without this old dog hounding me.

He takes everything I post personally. Just talking about this video I hurt his big 'ol feelings so much he had to lash out at me.

When I started this study I COULD NOT REACH PAST MY KNEES. My midsection was cut open with an 18 inch scar from where an internal re-arrangement of my ribs lacerated and relocated my kidney. My right ACL was completely severed and re-attached. My left ACL has been strained and sprained multiple times. My shoulder was destroyed in heavy weapons fighting. Both of my ankles have been dislocated so much that the joints are filled with bone fragments that would require major surgery to improve. Several of my vertebra are in the same condition. Turning my head sounds like a millstone grinding wheat.

Most of that damage was before I was 30. Fighting, sports, running from the cops through the woods. Like, show of hands, how many of you have had to fight your way out from the bottom of a pile of people that all wanted to hurt you? How many had to fight with nobody in a black and white shirt to keep you safe standing by? Like, not glorifying it, but the reality is it's different than the fair fight games we play to prove how tough we are. Honestly, if I never have to punch another person I'll be happy.

But in addition to beating the crap out of myself, I completely failed to eat well or get enough sleep, but I did consume copious amounts of alcohol. Lot of cigarettes, too.

When I don't practice, I hurt. When I do practice, I feel pretty good.

Other people that practice play a game called push hands that is pretty fun, so I do that to stay more active physically and engaged with community. I'm making friends all over the world that I see often.

And hey, I can move furniture and boxes easier, my back is pretty strong most days, it's kind of cool how much energy I can put into things I touch without trying very hard. My reactions are faster, more precise. I can summon a considerable presence to influence others.

All this vibrant health and energy and command of mass and leverage really helps me show my beautiful wife how much I love her, twice a day, usually... sometimes three.

Haven't been in a fight in a while, but didn't do too bad last time, or any of the times before that so I can only assume I'd do better, lol. Someone who doesn't train, I can put on the ground with two fingers. Probably ONE, but I haven't actually tried that so I don't want to talk out of turn.

At 47 I've already lived longer than my paternal grandfather and two of my three uncles. Just hopin to meet my grandkids.

I'm just racking my brain trying to figure out what it is that Wayne thinks I don't have.

Realise if you don’t have it at your age it isn’t coming

If all I've got is all I'm gonna get it's been well worth the effort.

I don't know why some people seem to have realized such hollow results.

"When I don't practice, I hurt. When I do practice, I feel pretty good. "

Same same.

It was not even misunderstandings but rather pure fabrications and guessings pushed as a real thing.

Thank goodness nobody has ever done anything like that to tjq

Yes, and any such would probably try to hijack Yiquan method in an even weirder way……. Oh, wait they already on that path

Thomas don’t ask me any more questions your getting me in trouble

24 jars should last us about a decade.

damn, this one put on an itch , but I will hold myself from making a lame joke that you probably thought that spread had something to do with weed…. You have a medical card for it so I take it easy.

All I know is Australians love the stuff. I figure if I reward Wayne's good behavior (not bragging or insulting anybody) maybe he'll finally feel secure enough to stop throwing rocks and trying to hide his hand.

Man this inability to take responsibility for your actions seems pathological.
