'I decided to read a couple of days of this trash just to see it for myself.
THIS MESSADE BOARD IS A BIG JOKE.'
How strange, that's what your higher belts keep saying, yet they keep coming here.
'Sad to see this SMALL GROUP of IDIOTS making up negative gossip with no proof. Very childish.'
You keep saying that. Repeat it enough and maybe it will come true. I'm sorry, tell me, would you tell a student that your grandmaster can jump off of an 11 story building and survive unscathed? Do you have any proof? Very childish.
'Take this advice, becuase it is the best you will get. Go down to a moo school and experience the truth.'
Sorry, been there, done that. Terrible advice, frankly. The only truth you'll find there is a bunch of first and second degrees telling newer students how m,iraculous John Kim is. Yet these first and second degrees will likely have never seen Kim, and if they have, they will have likely never trained under him. That's how it works. Once you get up high enough in the ranks, you get to see him. A few times. Never doing any of the things you're telling students about, but you won't mention that in the schools. Or you won't see him again.
The fact is that not one moo has been close to Kim as often as they have been close to twenty year old pics of him. Honestly, most moos probably wouldn't recognize him if they passed him on the street, because the pics are so old.
'Live life. Stop hating it.'
The moo is not life. It's not the gift of life for life, either. That's a classic oxymoron. Life has life, so how can you give life? It's a meaningless phrase. You cannot show that moo training helps someone live longer. Not really. After all, moo instructors have proven as mortal as anyone else. They have dealt with the same problems as everyone else, from drinking to cancer to smaller health problems. All while they were in the moo. The moo is nothing special, and this wouldn't be a problem if they'd just stop pretending to be something else.
