There is some history there and a sister website, kenpotalk.com which is mostly a ghost town now and gets very little traffic.
About eight years or so ago, as I was having doubts about my kenpo training, I made some comments that were negative, and I ruffled some feathers and perhaps made an enemy or two. I actually dont think Sami was on that site during that time, but he joined later. Maybe he read some of my earlier stuff. Anyway, I was sorting out some issues and frustrations and doubts, and yes, I said some negative things along the way.
After that, I stepped back from it all and generally refrained from joining discussions about kenpo specifics, like techs and forms and such. I mostly kept my comments limited to where it seemed that input from an outsider might be appropriate or useful. And sometimes I think that could be a good reality-check, which is sometimes necessary on a single-topic website like Kenpotalk. People can get blinded when they are always preaching to the choir. I think Martialtalk has greater potential for honest discussion because people from all backgrounds can chime in, it's not just kenpophiles all waving the kenpo banner at each other.
So anyway, there is some history. But I stand my my assassin comments.
