I think that's pretty rude. Shommy is a great guy who really cares about the kids he teaches. My son was Shommy trained as IS NOT A CHEATER! In fact he is an advocate against cheating. Shommy does not teach cheating, that notion has been perprtuated by Gruenlien. He claims to teach different techniques, but if you watch him, he pinches and pops quite frequently and "goes early" a lot! The point you try to make is laughable, and makes no sense as it has absolutely nothing to do with sports, NCAA tried this before, remember what happened?? So clearly they need help making educated decisions d-bag.


I never said cheating I said unfair advantage, I think Shommy is so good at what he teaches that they are in part legislating against him, sort of closing the loop hole that his kids have been taking advantage of, I have heard him as well as many, many coaches say about facing off "if you ain't cheating you ain't trying" and the rules committee is top notch and they are looking out for the best interest of the game not what is in the best interest of one trainers technique. If this rule change goes through, and I hope it does, you will want to double down with Shommy who will teach these talented young men how to win under the new rules. He is the best. and those that know me well, and Matt is one of those people, I am an A Hole not a Dbag. [/quote]

Well, I think cheating is unfair. My son is Shommy trained and I have not witnessed him ever teach the kids to cheat. I don't know how that got started, but I have never seen it. There is a war between Schommy and Gruenlien. How it got started, I don't know but they are both bringing out the worst at the X by antagonizing each other and need to stop. They both teach basically the same moves, and both pinch and pop. I would like to know exactly what you mean by "teach to cheat"? And I would beg to differ on your assessment of the rules committee being "top notch". They really needed much more research before coming to the decisions that they did. I think that is why those rules ultimately will not get passed.
