If you single out a particular style or section of martial arts you are gonna get people from that style or section posting back. Common sense, huh? You post something negative about tae kwan do, Japanese arts, or MMA then you will get those guys defending against what you post too.

Per bold, is my exact point.

It isnt about saying something negative about a art.

It is about accurately knowing and understanding.

It is about the mis-use of words, terms, propaganda, hype, charlatanical issues.

I have something to say about all arts that tend to not be in favor with those whom practice them.

I have researched martial arts, way before the "AI", and with the "AI", there is info that can support or not support issues.
(Which will lead me to my next thread)

Be it may, those who take offense to it, may not completely understand their art.
