I see that the 0y_D middle management troops have been called out to try and counter the 'negative' (see posting below). I figured that there would have probably been an email sent out by now by 'higher belts' for school owners/Asst Reg/Head instructors to post comments trying to make the opposition appear foolish and insignificant, thereby diluting the negative and making appear as 'nonsense'. I'm sure next (if it hasn't happend already) a letter writing campaign to Asia Pacific/Yahoo/anyone else they can think of to indicate that 0Y_d is 'going after' these wrong-doers and all that support them (or give them refuge?). Give it up boys!
Face facts, schools around the country have been sucking hind titty since the big exodus last year and the advent of the new 'intergalactic' level of training. I went by several local schools (seattle area) recently and they looked like my parents house after all the kids moved out (a couple of lost souls in a big house wondering what to do with themselves). And what is with the change of uniforms/patches (yet again)? Back to the old big patches and now 4th degree and down wear Kung Fu uniforms? For a 'True Traditional' system, they sure do change things around a lot! 'But it's been upgraded!' (read 'New and Improved!' but wait this is true traditional, so it's always been this way?!?)
