I don't know about being anti traditional but there defiantely is a
point where both can get in the way of having an effective stick
system.
Some mono traditionalists seem to have the opinion that this is th
way it has always been and this is all one needs to know.
now on the non traditional end if ya dilute the core concepts too
much it is my opinion that you can eliminate what makes a particular
style so bleeping effective.

Then of course you have the monoegomanics who feed off one or the
other viewpoints and crete an atmosphere where nobody is learning
anythng.

In short it all boils down to what makes YOU as a person seek as a
student of the stick.
