You will know more about that than me…
just quoting from the source.
Sorry HW108, but i have to do this.
you seem a nice enough guy and it is refreshing to see someone so obviously interested in TCMA, but you are ruining a half decent forum with your constant tirade against others so…
your instructor disowned you by all accounts, so he did NOT give his permission to train in chow gar.
he is NOT a lineage holder himself, nor did he ever claim to be. in fact he claimed the opposite.
he REFUSED to answer questions around his lineage.
he DID have some interesting gong fu knowledge and application, and was EXTREMELY confident in what he did.
he did get handled, on the ground especially, and refused to go against at least one guy in the room whilst constantly engaging many of the others. who certainly did not have MANY issues with him.
i liked him, but his ‘internal’ damaging strikes were utter bs. sorry, but i deliberately asked to feel one and there was nothing to it.
if yu wish to discuss ANY of the matters then please feel free to respond…

somewhere someone is smiling. :p:D
In all fairness to Richard, I was the one that said that he was “disavowed” by his WC Sifu because, when I spoke, via email, with one of his Sifu’s students years ago, I was told that he MAY be a guy that was kind of a quack and that Sifu Andria basically said to “get a life”.
Now, it MAY have been Richard or may not have been, the similarities where that this person was also nutriding Sifu Andria’s “accomplishments” and speaking with no clear knowledge of anything.
I kind of put 2 and 2 together and say If this is who Richard was then he has been “disowned”, but to be fair, we don’t know if that is the case because Richard has never mentioned ANYTHING about himself.
Other than what we have read.

You know, I got a PM from someone that was at that seminar too, supposedly, and he said almost the exact samethings you said, though he was more adamant about the “dubious lineage” ( his words not mine) and I never brought it up, maybe I should have…
Anyways, Richards real issues are NOT was HE does ( or doesn’t) but how he is so adamant that OTHER don’t do authentic TCMA because they have different views, even though we have seen over and over, old time sifu with those EXACT same views.

and what a long list of uselessness that is.

funny thing is i’ve never questioned his background. Many have here. I’ve always been of the mindset, “let others do what they wish.” My biggest b!tch about him is that he downs all other MA’s except “his” chosen path. somewhere along the line someone slandered him that was a crosstraining mma guy and he’s never let it go. I’m beginning to think it was dave r. 
When “little Dick” first showed up, we found an internet forum where, prior to “hardwork” being banned, a guy who was present at said seminar detailed it AND a student of hardwork’s supposed sifu also posted that he had been kicked out of the gym. We posted the link to that forum and quite a lot of the people who were present at the time read it and probably remember it
So, basicly our little columbian friend is a liar
He is also someone his sifu said knows very little, is a little dillusional and has been kicked out
Last count, he was banned on three different forums, only the “free range” nature of this forum has allowed him to remain, though EVEN HERE he was banned once!
You’re basicly wasting your time even acknowledging his existance, it is sad to see some of you guys continue to carry on with him

not saying that it’s HW108 who was disavowed, but all I can say is that for someone who regularly dresses up and re-enacts ancient greecian warrior rites / battles (and apparently takes this activity VERY seriousy, judging by the video that was posted of it at one point) to consider someone ELSE a quack and tell them to “get a life”…well, wow, just wow…
lol, i just ignore him entirely.
It really works!

Well…what can one say about that?
Who…who…who are we ignoring now…can I ignore him too?
