I would like to say that it is difficult for me to feel welcome here after the way some of you treated me and my tale of Master Chan. I respect skepticism, granted that, but to be maligned and subject to rude posts is unacceptable.

There has been some real dickheads around. The people that are around here nowadays are mostly kind, but skeptical to most things, even to the most basic IMA principles. My advice would be to stick hang around, read from earlier posts and try to participate in discussions to get to know people. For your story about your master, it's interesting, but I have no idea what you want to say or what you want to accomplish with sharing your story. Maybe you have something valuable to say or maybe you are a troll. Honestly, it's hard to tell. But if you are serious, it would be nice if you found your voice on the forum. I've been around since 2004 and have got some very nice, interesting friends here. We don't always agree with each other, but I think we all respect each other views on the board. So it's well worth making an effort trying to get comfortable around these guys. But if not, other forums might suite you better, there are more places out there. Good luck whatever you do.

This happens to very few in the modern period. How many times in the kung fu movies have we seen the horse stance used as the rooting posture before any form was to be taught.

My wife started practicing Gongfu when she was 8 years old. She basically had to stand in horse stance. Then she noticed how every student walked really ugly with their toes pointing out to the sides. So she quitted because she didn't want to have that ugly walk.
I am not in that category and a I am most certainly not delusional in any of my statements. Believe me or not.
