Also, competitive athletic programs want quick results, while many Internal methodologies will not be "time efficient" in that regard.
Again, I am not disputing the effectiveness of your ST methodology. I am simply pointing out that there are other less known ways, that are also valid. I am saying that because I have seen it with my own eyes, so to speak.
I agree and that would certainly be the case if the Internals could give them short term results required for competitive sports.
The fact is that not all Chinese know kung fu.
It is an erroneous belief to think that sport performance is focused ONLY on the short term gains or the quick turnaround, that is incorrect, but even if it was correct, the fact that it takes longer for method "I" to get results than method "T" would make method "I"inferior anyways.
The chinese government cares very little about wushu or TCMA or anything else, they care about results and like any other athletic program, if they found that standing on one leg and quacking like a duck would lead to cutting 1 second of the 100 meter sprint then the sprinters would be doing just that !
I do agree though that there are other methods of building strength that are also effective.
