Been online friends with G for some time back when Angels gym was producing fighters, though we don't interact much these days. Way back when it was myself who sent him the Wu Menxia annotations (which he absolutely loved and made a big part of his work I believe) - don't shoot me Itto!
I can appreciate the marmite factor though, his online presence comes over pretty strong in Social Media.
I really like the fact that his new gym is going great guns and he's coaching guys having success on the local MMA scene over there.. And very much whilst upholding the internal arts component of breathwork, energetics and meditation. He's also posted in the past himself working with boxers.. though it's safe to say what he does is very much his own 'MMA'. I'm not going to sit here and publically judge his personal style on aesthetics, I'd rather do that after going a round or 2 with him opposite me trying to hit me.
Good luck to the Temple Underground Gym, those guys are working hard and walking the walk.. So utmost Respect to all of them for that.
I agree the stuff over the term is regretable and the whole Grandmaster Soke thing is unecessary to me too, but ok, I guess it's a thing for some, meh.
