Speaking of, recent comments from Omar on another board (you're soaking in it!) seem apropos to repeat today:
I suppose I know a few things but I don't really Know them. I was just trying to be up front about the fact that I have not really tried any of this stuff in a truly competitive environment. I push hands now and then with Shifu and when I come home every year or two (I have lived in China for the past decade) I have chances for friendly sparring or push hands with friends but having not experienced real competition I often wonder what sort of an ivory tower I may be living in. Shifu doesn't really allow me to go out and throw down with other folks in town or push hands even without his presence.
*whistles*
