I think I was on there pissing people off from like 2005 or so till the split and new site(s), I forget who went where with what. I was/am Tao Joannes and was easily twice as insane at the time.

Yes


Dan Harden has his own website for promoting his training project. It's www.bodyworkseminars.org

He posted on his website that he was diagnosed with multiple myeloma a year or two ago and the last update is from January of this year saying that he is doing very well and that he is planning a year's worth of seminar dates in the US and in Europe. See http://www.bodyworkseminars.org/personal-blog-page.html

I've never met him but have often thought that it would be good to meet and study with him. I enjoyed his perspective and the fact that it came from outside the Chinese internal martial arts world.

He used to post on the e-budo and aikiweb forums, if I'm not mistaken, as well as here, perhaps on the old plumsoakedfist forum also, if I remember correctly.

D_Glenn, you should consider going to one of his upcoming seminars and exchange notes and report back to us here on this forum.

I've met/know in person many people who have objectively improved, in a dramatic fashion, from practicing his stuff. For what little it's worth.

Thanks, Dmitri, for passing on the favorable reviews of Dan's training ability!

Matthew

I was just thinking about that the other day and I do want to try to go to one sometime.
