- I never said that the other arts were no good. What I was saying was
- that like all
- arts some have weak points and some have strong points, No art is perfect.
-
- The fact that Benny showed the Tai fighters that American kick boxing
- was every bit as good, if not better than tai kickboxing, proves that it
- is
- not the style but the person that practices that makes the art. I think
- you will find that is what I was inferring.
-
- Now as for the inferrence that I am full of the little round things
- that goats
- drop. I must say that the meaning behind the study of MA was definitly
- wasted
- on some people.
