Alex Kozma's site down...

[williamwilson666]

Another Alex Kozma site appears to have bitten the proverbial dust. This appears to happen invariably around 6 months or so after launch. Does anyone know why this might be? It just seems that he loses interest, which is a shame with someone with potentially so much to give to the CIMA community- not that, of course, he is in anyway obliged to do so- but it just appears to be titillation!

That said, maybe he became tired of being asked to teach when he no longer does so openly. I for one, given the chance would love to train with him. First rate internal instructors in the UK are few and far between.

He was poisoned a couple of years ago and has spent most of his time recovering I believe.

I think the business end of what he does is less important to him than the knowledge he acquires, so it's probably a little presumptuous to second guess what he's up to like he's some kind of kungfu peddler.

S- just sayin.

Second guessing demands a certain amount of presumption, does it not?

Though I don't know where I had implied he were some sort of "Kung Fu peddler". I just asked if anyone knew why the site were down as several have come down in the past (at least two have been put online and subsequently removed since the said illness).

I guess...seems to me like you did..and a little disrespctfully. But that's neither here nor there. If I was the one doing some assuming then I'm sorry.

hi William,

I used to put together the sites for Alex up until a couple of years ago. I cant be sure why his new site is down ..... but I know he is away from, and not wanting to return too, the 'marketing side' of martial arts as he calls it. Maybe this is an extension on that. He doesn't teach now but as far as i know continues to write and train. I believe his writing, his practice, his family (martial and blood) and his friends are what really matter to him ... a website aint so much of an importance.

or ... it could be the domain expired! .... that happened a few times too!

Im sure Alex would appreciate the kind words.

cheers
Chris

The titillation comment was just supposed to be light hearted. I wasn't seriously suggesting a man of Alex's stature was playing some "now you see me, now you don't" advertising game! I am well aware Alex hasn't had any interest in "open" teaching for some time, I just enjoyed reading some of the information that he had posted on the site about the arts he has studied.

Glad Alex is well, Chris, and still enjoying his practise.

He certainly seemed to be in fine spirits when I had several communications with him back in august while purchasing his Ziranmen book. We corresponded several times since Serge had come over to study with my sifu shortly after I received the book.

[middleway]

was that Sam Chin.

You know i might be hosting a seminar With Master Chin and Serge early next year .... will keep everyone posted when i get more details!

Serge and Sam teaching in the same room!!! WOOOOHHOOOOOO

[dragontigerpalm]

Yes - Sam Chin. Serge, like my sifu, is very knowledgeable and friendly with a good sense of humor. A seminar with both would be very cool.

Hey guys. I´m a sometime student of Alex´s, and when mailing him a couple of weeks ago he mentioned that he will from now on be using this adress:

http://www.lineofintent.com/

It´s not up and running yet, but it seems like this is where his stuff will be. Most likely. Well, probably.

Good to hear that you helped him with site design. His skills are rare, and his training very very deep, and what matters more and more to me over the years is that while having those he is also a very nice guy. Rare combination, there.

I did an interview with him last I was over in England (I live in Sweden), and given time, some verve, moxie, coffee, and more spare hours of the day, I will actually sit down and write it too. I can tip you guys off when it´s published somewhere.

D.

Sarcasm. Oh yeah, like that´ll work.

no matter how good his skill is, you won't get it from a website. go visit him, I've never seen Alex turn down a sincere student.
