It really had never mattered to me in who is practicing what, and
also not my caring in who is the best in styles or personality. I always
had tried to do better in my own practice without having to look at
others. As individuals in the human race we all think different, and
also have very different personalities. Why would be impossible to
consider us as the same people all around.
My reason to write the most on Steve Gartin, and Bill Chang and to
an extend also even on Rodney Fernandez is my defensive position for my
undertaking to set my record straight, and like to explain to my readers
and loyal followers why I needed to write as many commentaries is
strictly in defense of my self, and a duty to my teachers who taught me.
And explicitly not forgetting also many of the old ex students I needed
to remove, dis acknowledge and also revoke any of the ranking I had
issued. Non of them deserve my recognition of them they had never had
any appreciation or gratitude for my effortless time of teaching.
Instead of trying to comprehensive understanding me were also always
the worse to criticizing me by underrating and largely underestimating
my intelligence and teaching for their unlimited boundaries of their
disgrace regarding my skills. Non of them had ever any deep
comprehension for understanding a cultured teacher with the mind set of a
Westerner.
Rodney Fernandez for instance was not long enough with me to even
obtain a rank, he was just a short time student, and just for a few
months. Thought of my system that everything came out of a one punch
lead. Assuming that did everybody else were thinking the same way
resulting for me always in being criticized timelessly and far beyond
any horizon. It had never occurred to me of bothering me, and time
evolving I started to read many of the bad articles in false conductive
writing from Steve Gartin and Chas Clements, and many of the members of
the American kun tao silat. Also for me in being conclusive Bill Chang, a
man from Bandung I had first sponsored.
For sure I needed to held back many of my wisdom and craft in
skills of them, that most i had cancelled out or removed were just short
time students under me, and several somewhat longer. There were even
great and excellent practitioners I needed to terminate were to much
their own self servers, and not good for me and my system. Why I just
had to take away their ranks, and disband any further association with
them. I am glad non of them with me anymore.
Some individuals like Steve Gartin, and Chas Clements will always
be on the worse end of my reprisal in writing. They were some of the
most useless people to me with all their claim in knowledge. They both
were dis honoring me, were very disrespectful to me, and my family and
had exploited my system to make money of my system under false pretend.
Their article writing on me in previous articles were also my greatest
attested example to write against them with a task in fury. It will
never cease to exist. Gartin is still advertising, make still bad
imitation of me while claiming the lineage of Bill Chang, and his
system. It is hard for him to promote Bill Chang's system has not much
to offer. I could recommend better skilled karate, tae kwon do or even
true kun tao masters in the place.
Bill Chang always a very arrogant man for his display was never a
famous kun tao master. I only wrote several letters to the US
immigration that he was a famous man, while lacking the real
understanding of kun tao in forms. He was known in Bandung, and also in
Indonesia but not in our Western Hemisphere until I made him known, and
introduced him to the martial community in Denver. The rest is all
history on him. His martial skills is more silat or cimande orientated
then old hand kun tao. But for what is worth the mentioning that Bill
Chang for sure has many excellent martial skills, and mostly highly
influenced with the iron skin training of cimande and karate.. His
measurement of his blocking system in parrying and deflecting were all
related to the practice in silat and cimande. Also his reasoning why kun
tao is a lesser art then silat.
The man was deeply on rooted and was to light on his feet could
never be any good in push hands. He always had badly murmured my skills
and told bad jungle book stories about me that I could not fight, was no
match for him and my skills were far below him. He had to explain
history to me and was trying to correct my martial structures. For sure
was all Bill Cahng's Thumb s****** ideas for fantasizing his lies. A man
who was sponsored by me insulting me without understanding
intelligently others in our martial community. His combative actions
against me was his worse failure to embarrassed him self. Deeply inside
of him he knew. but never was honest enough to be truthful. Kun Lun
Pai did not came from Bill Chang as he claimed, and Steve Gartin only
knew to follow up a lie, and was there long before any of us, NOW, were
even born. The Kun Lun Mountains was just a direct resource in finding
some answers regarding the Kun Lun temple boxing arts of Tibet.
My system of old hand kun tao came first out the Shandong valley of
Manchuria to Kwantung to Canton and ending up in Tibet and in the Kun
Lun Mountains. Came later through migration of several of the boxing
experts to land in Palembang, in Sumatra, a highly cultivated civil
cultural center of the Chinese emperor who had established a city for
the creation of languages, cloth waving (batik), pottery, religion,
business trade, and cooking and military expansion hundreds of years
ago. The largest Chinese community was always in Palembang, in Sumatra.
Several of the families of my Hakka kun tao teachers were first settled
in Portuguese Macao. Many of the Chinese internal boxers came to Macao
for business reasoning to shy away from poverty in China. They found
their wealth and established t'ai chi, i shing yie and pakua sacred
martial schools. Expanded later to Hong Kong, a British crown colony and
settled later in Palembang. Why I also named my system after as the
Willem de Thouars Makao kun tao Serak silat was to carry the spirit of
my teachers who taught me on the palm of my hands. Pak Serak's Chinese
family came from Portuguese Macao, and settled in Cheribon.
It could have all been different when Bill Chang was more
respectful, and honest outside his bad jungle book stories on me, and
Steve Gartin and Chas Clements and the many others I swift kicked out my
contingency were more of an understanding nature of myself as a teacher
and respectfully were adhering to my teaching instead of insulting my
system they were always exploiting to serve their own purpose of greed.
They had never finished my training, and can there never or ever be any
make up and kiss op between all of them and myself. I am glad to have
gotten rid of royal pain in the a**** to write my editorials but
constructively.
I highly praise my present followers who are loyal, devoted and
constantly in practice and in training my system were also for many
years with me. They are getting also the very best of me, and will teach
them everything I know. I thank them for their sincere loyalty and
devotion to me, my system and family.
In conclusion for this editorial always my highly esteem
appreciation for their effortless training and their loyalty. There are
more of them over all of those I needed to kick out my martial
environment have no longer a place in my heart and spirit. Why I am
always writing a lot on them will never be a cease to exist.
By the founding father of kun tao Serak silat de Thouars.
