Perhaps, but the man gets a ton of feedback which he can't possibly be unaware of. It could be that he believes he is the only true master, and the thousands of people in his youtube comments, open letters, one on one interactions etc are the real fraudsters(not to mention the things he tries to pass a X art never seem to resemble X art in any significant way), but I can't even comprehend the extent of cognitive dissonance that would make this possible.
Interesting fact about cognitive dissonance that seems relevant here. Ever hear the term "fake it 'til you make it?" If you think about it, that is what is often considered a viable reaction to cognitive dissonance. The "fake it" part is the dissonance, and the "make it" part is the reaction by the brain to reduce the dissonance.
So you are saying maybe he believes he is simply on the next level, and that's why nobody gets it, and why his version of all the arts he has 'mastered' is so dissimilar from its namesake?
Ah sweetie, I haven't called you names. You seem to have a complex though about mothers and thinking people are looking down on you? Have you seen anyone about this, you seem to be getting awfully upset again. It's noticeable that you don't take on any of the blokes when they address you, are you a misogynist as well?
He may simply dismiss those as “purists” or as people who don’t understand. We have seen both of those happen here with people who have less experience than Mace.
I guess it's possible. I do think it's more likely he has made a lot of money doing what he is doing, and as such just doesn't care about authenticity.
I understand the technique. I actually understand that technique better than I understand kung fu. You can't apply that technique against multiple angles. Don't take my word for it. Try it out yourself and you can see where the error of that video exists.
No, nothing so specific. It's interesting to me because it speaks to a commonly held belief that if you pretend to do something for long enough, your mind will close the gap you know exists. It was really not intended to be more than sharing a bit of trivia... like a relevant aside.

You called him "sweetie." Isn't that a name? And you called him Banker, which you so helpfully clarified is cockney slang. So, according to "cockneyrhymingslang.co.uk" is slang for... good lord!!! That's not nice at all!! LOLAh sweetie, I haven't called you names. You seem to have a complex though about mothers and thinking people are looking down on you?

I felt the same way!I've never seen his videos or heard his opinions, I didn't go look at his videos or read his opinions, I don't really care about his videos or his opinions. There are a huge number of sites on the internet that get paid whenever anyone clicks on them. The majority of them are total garbage. Why people wish to go clicking on all these sites just to be able to say "yep, that's garbage!" does not make any sense to me.
My own training is what interests me. Whatever this person has to say or show on the internet in order to get money for people clicking on his stuff is none of my concern, nor does it interest me in the least.
Since everyone else has an opinion, I didn't want to feel left out ...
I've been amazed at the number of people I've talked to who were not what they thought they were. Rationalization, confirmation bias, and response to cognitive dissonance are funny things.
Oddly, my cats prefer humans.Human psychology is a fascinating thing, but it also gives me a headache. I prefer cats to be honest.
