I agree with your assessment BBI. I believe that a majority of the stuff that is taught by Cory was taught to Cory by other instructors from classes that he's taken.You are who you associate with. I haven't kept up with the controversy, but I'm sure there are other trainers who can teach you the same thing without the honor questions.
With that being the case it comes down to a character issue and speaking for myself I can learn many of the exact same techniques from any number of instructors.
Same thing goes for J. Yeager as well.
Whenever I've made any comments in the many Yeager threads I've never said anything about his training methods. I've always taken issue with the way he presents himself.
In this case the whole "honor" thing with Cory and how it was handled rubbed against the grain with many people (including myself).
