Jon, his teaching style was different from anything I had been exposed to, apart from maybe the daoist practices. The classes were like meditation sessions, and in the beginning I was not sold on to it - until I saw what he could do. He completely rejected any strength training, any use of physical strength, even a bit. When he applied his style, his applications were completely effortless - I mean completely. Hard to believe, you would have to feel it. My feeling was that he had an extremely high level of returning your own power to you, so did not need to add anything else on top - well, maybe apart from some help from the gravity.
Internally he could do things you read about in books, but I do not want to discuss it here. BTW I do not think he could throw people around without touching them.
The funny thing is his TJQ routine seems so incredibly useless, weak and unattractive...
