'It's obvious that understanding the real criteria for it being worth a grandmasters time and effort to coach your movement eludes you.'
Excuse me, but since Kim only trains guys like a couple times a year tops(and that's actually a fairly favorable estimate, since most first hand descriptions on both sides of the argument describe having met him only once, and fewer still actually trained with him, with the exception of the old timers), and since he has no schools overseas, then exactly what is taking up his time so much if he's not teaching? I mean, there's finances, but if he's spending more time doing his finances than his martial arts, well then, he's not really practicing enough.
And if he practices all that time, then why is his most recent picture so puffy? Even older people who do martial arts constantly aren't so...puffy. They're usually pretty wiry.
I mean, what is taking up his time that it's worth so much? No one on your side of the fence has described anything more than a twenty minute lesson, he's not like a politician or anything, so he isn't running around kissing babies, and there's only so much family time before the kids are in school, and since Kim's wife isn't a master, she must have her own hobbies, which means Kim has an awful large amount of time that he should be teaching if he wants to be called 'grandmaster', but the fact is, he's not that responsible.
I mean, what other responsibility does a grandmaster have other than teaching and training? None.
You need to wake up to the real world. He's supposed to be teaching, not making you cover for his inequities.
