I've trained in martial arts, yes, but I do the research too on other arts. I read articles, I study books and videos, sometimes even obscure movies. Why? Because it's not just about getting material for writing articles, but because martial arts has been a big part of my life ever since I was a young child. To me, it's a way of life. Apparently, my knowledge is good enough that even some of the most intelligent users on BFF, like Njalm, have asked my opinion on martial art matters. Beyond the fact that the material you write is paraphrased from my article, you aren't even considering what art form matches his personality. You are so fixed on making him a "Taijutsu Grandmaster" that you aren't considering how to tie together the styles he knows with his personality and overall combat preferences. This is why you can't just look at somebody else's article and follow their method. You need to come up with an entirely original method that is your own.
