...i looked at the website in question. it looks good. it was new to me. if i had found it, i probably would have checked it out--and really enjoyed it. so it's easier to answer the question this way.
here's why i
searched out this site/forum:
1. the man behind it--from impressive psychology clips on youtube (1st) and impressive instructional video clips (2nd).
then//upon furthor enquiry...
2. no dogma and the pursuit of serious answers from those who have been on the front lines of experience.
i am, that said, greatful for the ease that i can browse/write/read/view.
i don't know much about the instructor from the other site,
but i've assumed he's a good guy/teacher who knows the terrain. so, for me, another angle that makes my sensibilites more satiated on this particular site is this:
while i can't tell, it seemed that the other site was the untraditional end of a traditional system. or perhaps the most traditional 'untraditionally modern' approach. i hope that makes sense. for me,
i came from alot of tradition, and desired the absense of it. i desired a 'no dogma', no 'style' approach
with a greater look into the mental side of things.
i desired the input of a military/bouncer/security vantage point.lastly, and by no means least(ly)
,
i wanted to speak with 'peers' until moments arise when i am taking instruction for lack of experience. to speak with peers, until moments arise when i am perhaps sharing experiences. i sense that this is what is missing from my cursory look (from the other site...for me). from the other site i get the feeling it is an established system of instruction and upward climb--with perhaps a bit more dogmatic views (not necessarily less useful). in short, i wanted the (metaphorically speaking) perspective of a sadhu, and not an ordained priest. someone without loyalties but with loads of experiences and his take based on his continued education in fighting--period, successfully.
i'd still be more than happy with the other site if i had found it, but my travels would have--from what i can tell from a quick look, still ended here and other places like this. also, the loads of visuals on this site (videos/etc) is huge for me. i'm a visual learner. the more i can absorb visually, the more i can get from it. alot is lost in article and words (for me).
