No, he didn't teach against it, he taught rightly about it, and it pissed legalistic types off real bad, enough to break the Torah they were so zealous to "keep", at least they thought they were keeping it. Both Messiah and the Apostle Paul exposed them as phonies, while showing what really was the case.
Today, much of the law of Moses isn't practiced at all, nor can be, by anyone...even by those who say they "keep Torah", and even the strictest sect of the Jews. And while those who believe in Yeshua say they do, what they really mean is, they keep what they are able to keep of it, and what would apply to them today, under The Better Covenant.
No one today really "keeps Torah", as it existed in the 1st century...or even are able to for that matter, while much of it is no longer valid, since Messiah has made the final sin offering, as The Lamb of God, and fulfilled all the types and shadows.
