Have you come across a good practitoner of it to make this assessment? |
Again, sashes and rank are a tool. Even tradional schools use modern tools. That would be like saying they don't have a computer in the kuen because its a traditional school. Being traditional does not mean being caught in a time warp to the 16 or 17 hundreds.
I've come across a couple of practitioners that said they were good at splashing hands

Not quite the same though, is it?
