I didnt know when it was instilled . I wonder how many of the other TSD groups do it that way ??????????? I totally forgot that way of doing it till you brought it up . I trained for a long time w/ The WMDKTSDF , & a lil' while w/ the WTSDA , they both do it the old way . Then I trained for a lil' while w/ a fed. studio , & I just didnt like the new way of doing things , the new forms , the newer way to do techniques , etc . ; Now , I have almost made a full transition over to Goju Ryu though , but still practice some of the TSD forms , but w/ more of an Okinawan , or Japanese flavor to it . I hope to meet your KJN , when he comes to FL next month .
I've communicated w/ him quite a bit .
