Mickey,
Reading is good! Only thing is too many people write about too many things with too little actual understanding. Academic writing today is not as 'original' as those of yesteryears, even with the amount of new facts and discoveries. What about from commercial magazine???
Loyalty is one thing. Reading is another.
Cheers.
: Good day to you Ariffin Sir!! Any chance you
: could take a few moments for me please as
: your opinion would be appreciated?
: Every so often I go to the book shop, grab a
: read on martial arts, sit down with a coffee
: and indulge. This week I had a friend
: accompany me who is also a student of the
: arts.
: Whilst reading a book on some of the chinese
: arts, he commented that by doing so I was
: being disloyal to my teacher. I explained
: that I read books on other styles to look
: for similarities between them, and also to
: reinforce some of the techniques you have
: taught me as it is very rare to find books
: on silat.
: As I feel loyalty is a principle that should
: never be compromised, my question is. Is
: there any substance to my friends opinion?
: Alternatively is the debate so ridiculous it
: doesn't deserve the time or the effort!
