'Maybe you studied useless Kung Fu, there is plenty out there. It doesn't
mean that other people don't train with Kung Fu that actually works. If it
took you 4 years to realize that you were learning useless things then you
might have problems of your own.'
Good call, we hear that kind of thing here often at this site. And I would say that if someone attend a school 4, 5, 6 or more years then discover it's hogwash, then good for him. I would also say that person has problems of their own that make it really ludicrous for them to be attempting to make decision for others training when all they have proven is that they can waste substantial portions of their lives either training in a bad art or not getting much out of a good art, whichever the case may be.
Or perhaps, since these same people who make these types of claims here refuse to show anyone what they can do, claim to teach at mysterious unrevealed locations and times, while the schools they've slandered go on teaching and enjoying martial arts at very accessible locations. The point is your guy there coudl have some issue with kung fu he's not being up and up about or if he can study 4 years without testing any of it out, he's probaly some kind of fantasy boy or wuss spazz and even now couldn't be counted on for an accurate appraisal.
