Interresting: I told you we would end up talking about this sooner or later.
I agree with your statement somewhat. Traditional is a word that is very abused in the arts any more. SOME of the teachings that we see now are based on traditional forms but are taught untraditionally. They have been tainted for non combat use and compitition. Students are pushed through to achieve rank. There are quite a few good forms still lurking around they are just not in the public eye.
Hopefully he will find his path...
