There is a lot of really good jujutsu masquerading as internal. I lost track of the ICMA people I have now met who....well...cough....were jujutsu people by any other name.
Some of them could fight well, but what has that got to do with it? When you keep landing on your ass and don't know why...it's easy to buy into whatever the man who did it to you....tells you. I'm not saying anything either way about the players, just be careful out there and meet a good cross section of players.
Most experienced jujutsu guys can tell the difference....by feel. Others may just be guessing.

Dan, I agree, I am really not concerned with whether the person teaching internal skills can beat me up or not, just want to learn the real skills. I am getting older and can't rely on my strength and conditioning as much anymore, just need some new skills to help me keep up
