This issue was hashed out some time ago here on the ED fairly thoroughly, there has been nothing about it of late and there seems to be nothing new. To repeat from when this matter previously arose here, I readily grant the sincerity of many of the people involved and respect their passion on the matter. Their belief in the completeness and accuracy of military records and mine differs, but that's OK. However, the POW website cited is exactly the one of which I think-- it asks for accusations (my defense mentioning scars consistent with combat was not openly received BTW) and the last time I looked explicitly stated that anonymous accusations were OK. A goodly portion of the "back channel" communications I received from these people was anonymous and frankly my life is too short to check the e-mail signatures that were proffered with a "don't use my name please". In my opinion this "back channel" anonymous way of doing things is BS and I don't respect it. If you make accusations, then put your name to all of them in public, and don't solicit and give a platform to anonymous accusations. My only point is that in coming to whatever conclusions people may about this, that they notice this variable. As for Dr Gyi, I greatly enjoy and benefit from my training with him. It was great having him at our Training Camp. Forward.

I just seen an old Hawaiian Moving Company episode with some interesting training methods. He was supposed to have taught Jimmy Carter's bodyguards.

With this program, listening to your body is even more critical to avoid over training. Rehab! I like this comment because it reminded me of a TKD teacher who used to say "Angels fly because they carry themselves so lightly". He administered this medicine everytime I took myself so seriously as to lose balance over candid remarks. Will think about my structured self ! Scott Kinney's response shows me that even 5 seconds may make a difference if you want to avoid over training. >accordingly.

Presumably until recently you were a supporter of his. Since the two web sites in question have been brought up before, I was wondering what events have tiggered your change of mind? I'm a neutral observer in all of this and was (ironically) recently wondering what had become of all of this. I do find it interesting though that 1) this is still going on, 2) that Dr. Gyi is not the only target of the de-bunking site 3) that the site still exists. Regards.
