It's kind of funny but also not funny at the same time because it's fairly accurate of a few of the fake Sokey Dokeys I have met over the years.
Osu!

That is the scary part. The guy based that on a number of real people he met...
That is the one good thing the Bullshido age has done is to weed out a lot of the phoneys.

Still today about the craziest I encountered was an "interview" to join this private dojo years ago. Caucasian family with a husband and wife and two kids...I'm sitting at a table at their house in the back yard that's in between their house and the guest house converted into a dojo. Spidey sense immediately goes off when their daughter serves us all green tea and the husband and wife say "domo arigato" to the daughter.
I should have left right then but I actually trained 2-3 times with them after that. Good news is, they didn't do contracts and didn't charge an outrageous fee so they weren't in it for the money just to play karate sensei, I think.
Osu!

I didn't do it, nobody saw me do it, there's no way you can prove anything!

I may have just returned from a half hour course and grading with Steve Arce, I am now a Ju-Roku Dan in every style you have ever heard of (and a few more you haven't). I can't prove any of this as my dog ate my certificates. All of them.   ;D |

LOLOL Wullie, I love you so much right now. I am slightly worried that he's gonna make a road trip north and show up at my school after the way I challenged his credentials. I've heard from the Bullshido crowd that he's a good fighter, HOWEVER I am pretty sure that while I'd get in big trouble, I'd also be kept safe by some very experienced ACTUAL Kyokushin instructors, lol. I don't understand why people spout such BS. D: I guess he's somehow a 6th Dan in TKD, and has decided that this means he's a 6th Dan in every style he has trained in or heard about... |

Wouldn't worry about that Ev, just keep your blue belt certificate with you, shake it at him and ask to see his lol! ;D Don't know if you had seen this post before- Hmmm, I have come across this grade jumping here too, a local goju kai instructor, went from 2nd dan to 6th dan in about 4 years just by changing associations, the last time he changed, they gave him his 5th dan, back dated by 5 years so he could get his 6th a year later, the back dated certificate was dated to before the association existed!! He used to train at our dojo so we (very childishly) put up a big "back to the future" poster! it happens all over, people invent grades or jump from one style/ association to another to grade up faster, but then what does that grade actually mean when you haven't put the years of blood, sweat and tears into achieving it? personally i would rather wear a white belt than go down that road. People like GJEC and Senshido that took a drop in grade to get to where they want to be get my respect. OSU! |
