I can certainly respect (and agree) with the historical lack of integrity inherent in Stav that you point out. My biggest beef with it, however, is the actual practice, which, as you also pointed out sucks. Sucks hard. Sure its an ancient combat art...if combat consists of broken movements applied against completely lifeless rag doll attackers (makes the uke of the Bujinkan look dynamic). Ye gods what a mess.
What baffles me is that ANYONE studies it, let alone promotes it. People mystify me.
