Is "RANDOM THOUGHTS ON THE MARTIAL ARTS" scholarship and research?

This blog is by an experienced and educated martial arts instructor. It provides invaluable first-line historical records, modern analyses of problems, and many other scholarly thingamajigs. Those wanting the site down are offended that the knowledge presented here shows they are less than they claim.

This is stupid.

Aside from his research into the martial arts, what happened to freedom of speech? If it's not inciting violence then what's the problem?

Always great info from Shifu Ross.

The research on this blog is at least equal to, and in many cases better than, those found in most leading martial art magazines and journals.

Martial arts is a sport as well as self defense training. It instills confidence and discipline and teach you to think and see things from a different perspective. There is no reason there shouldn't be places that there can be information and exchanges about these pursuits so that people in all walks of life can learn about themselves and different arts.

Definitely scholarly research on this blog.

David Ross and his articles are well researched and scholarly on the subject of traditional KUNG Fu. I have my masters degree in sports medicine and am used to research. I independently validate a lot of his research. He is an asset to the tcma community

A blog to keep it and supporting his efforts to share his experiences and knowledge. Keep the good work.

this is a great blog, there is much here that is very thought inspiring and very educational as well. have learned so much from David's work. Don't understand why anyone would consider removing this blog... very strange.

This blog is highly enlightening and well-made. I don't understand why one could possibly want to take it down. Geez, are you guys free speech-a-phobic?

Dear Sir/Ma'am, This blog represents free enquiry and a healthy perspective on martial arts. There are plenty of people in our community who week in week out are ripping people off with the promise of skills for which there is no evidence that anyone has ever mastered. David Ross is not a master in my own lineage of Traditional Chinese Martial Arts, however I havfollower of his blog, fellow nember of that international community, and owner of his books, I, as a 7th Generation Mizongquan Heir and 13th Generation Qingpingjian heir state for the record that I consider David to be a credit to his Shifu, and to TCMA in general. His detractors can only be persons with a private personal vendetta or persons whose business interests lie in fraudulent claims of supernatural abilities who embarrass traditional martial artists.

Great blog, well researched. Honestly I am confused as to why this would even be considered for removal.

My favorite blog on Chinese martial arts.

David is keeping it real. he writes scholarly articles I have share on my blogs and forums

David Ross's blog is one of the leading research resources of its kind today.

What David Ross writes is sorely needed these days. Meaning an objective view at what is and is not truth. I have enjoyed his writings from time to time in my tenure on the internet. It would be a shame is such things are pushed away in favor of the rantings of those less informed.

This blog contains valuable material and insights into the martial arts, eastern history and philosophy. It should not be interfered with. Besides I thought first amendment rights included cyberspace for Americans.

One of the very few Chinese martial arts blogs I read, excellent and useful info based on many years of practical experience and research.

Keep up the good work David. People who are afraid of the truth are the ones that are raising the flag...
