First to Mr. Kodanjaclay,
It was not my intention sir to infer you, however I can see how that inference could be made, for that I apologize. I've found in my dealings on this message board and in the real world, although intent may be good, how it comes off in print can be something very different.
Disco,
I've trained CHKD from the beginning. From what I've gathered, and I by no means speak for him, my instructor found something that worked better for him personaly. And that was the ICHF.
I think in the dealings with the ICHF, I've found that very few people IMO realize what it is for, and what it offers. I know that my martial education has indeed been intense, and complete. I've seen "Traditional" HKD schools with a much smaller grasp on what HKD has to offer then I do. The reason being it's not the "style" although that can have a huge impact, it's the teacher and what they decide to teach.
