I'll gladly respond. Thanks, Steve - Master of nothing Al Sardinas wrote: Steve, First of all it is an honor to be called your buddy. Continuing on my mission to keep it simple, I will use your background as food for thought. If I recall correctly you are a musician. Is it possible for a great musician to play an instrument that has been mastered, any type of music by having the notes available or just by playing by ear? If there is no possibility then you are right. Otherwise, I know you would hesitate to admit it that I am right. To bring some buoyancy to this subject I like to recommend a movie to see - The Tai Chi Master starring Jacky Wu. One of my favorites and it has part similar to the Game of Death" where Mr. Wu battles different systems. He would be a comple master according to my definition. Also, on the subject of movies Mr. Wu plays the villan in the movie Kill Zone which stars Donnie Yen. In my opinion this movie has the best use of a collapsible baton I ever seen in a movie. Tuhon McGrath if you still read ED, you will not be dissappointed with these movies.
