Ryan, this sounds interesting, but I think you need to re-read your post and help me clear up my confusion. There are some contradictory aspects which may just be typographical errors.
First paragraph; Did you mean that you think the passive way "is essential"?
Second paragraph; "Training to go from striking to Juho requires a methodology, one that is consistent with the reality of fighting. I'm not seeing that method being taught."
Does the third paragraph indicate that you teach a Chinese Art and have adapted a method from that, to use with your Shorinji Kempo students, in a manner consistent with the aims mentioned in the second paragraph?
Did I read it correctly? Am I just being the most irritating person around?
