James Yeager. Thoughts?

I won't link to his youtube channel in case that is against the rules. I am not sure what to think of the guy. On one hand I think a lot of his videos are informative and I am sure the training at his facility is top notch, but on the other hand he can come off like the biggest jerk I've ever seen on the internet, and that is saying something.

So basically, do you/have you watched his videos and what do you think of him? Good or bad for our cause?

I'm closing this for now, awaiting some input from the rest of the Staff.

That person is a HIGHLY ... controversial ... individual and it would be inappropriate for us to simply throw rocks at the guy. There's a fine line between well-deserved criticism and simple bashing, and honestly I'm not sure it's possible to balance between propriety and honesty in this case.

Give the Staff a moment to confer.

It's probably best to just say there are many highly respected trainers we can recommend, and will be happy to do so in S&T.

After review by the Staff it is decided we can't both have members able to speak honestly and openly, and still uphold the standards of THR.
