Just to get it down where he specifically says that...

No surprise...

Lazaro has made the rounds with ALL of the certificates-by-mail providers!

Mike Omerbegovich's (well-known certificate-by-mail seller) "Rank" list:

Does Lazaro have ANY legitimate training? ANY legitimate rank?

At first I thought all the Krav stuff *might* be somewhat legit, but now I'm really not sure. Kenpo Karate? JKD? ANYTHING???

I don't see ANYTHING that is NOT a certificate-by-mail rank.

Also from Omerbegovich's site (found this earlier on - was just about to post when Skippy did, along a similar line):

Note the claim to a BJJ blackbelt again.

If there is one thing I love its my job as an Executive Protection Agent. As owner of a body guarding service in Miami,Fl. I take my job Very seriously and professionally. I have practiced martial arts for over 22 years and since the beginning I have dedicated my focus on realistic combat. Many famous organizations have asked me to represent them and if you look at my website you will see I have turned them all down, Except for one. The I.M.M.A. Don't let the long distance training fool you! Here you will find the VERY BEST Systems dedicated to REAL COMBAT, taught by a man with a desire to teach only the truth in combat and with a passion for fighting that I though only I had! Master Mike is the Best at what he does and it is truly an honor to represent his Association.
I am trained in all of Master Mike's arts.The Krav Maga contains material that is exhaustive and by far the New standard in Krav Maga training. As a Para-Military fighter for the Elite Alfa 66 Team I was trained in Krav Maga...but Master Mike's took it to another level!
I am a 5 Dan Black belt in American Kenpo...but again Master Mike's Kenpo course opens up a can of worms on what you think Kenpo is!
Mike's MMA course is the most complete I have ever seen! No longer do you have to go many places and waste hours of training and thousands of dollars like I have to find the best!
I teach JKD and Filipino martial arts part time in Miami and again The I.M.M.A. Filipino course is all one really needs to learn it all!
Master Mike not only is one of the best schooled fighter's there is, He is also a great person with an incredible gift to teach and reach out! Thanks for your friendship Mike! Im always looking forward to any and all new courses!

Your friend and student,

My name is Lazaro "Assassin' Bueno and I am an Executive Protection Agent. I have trained in the martial arts for over 22 years first taking up Tae Kwon Do in New Orlean's most famous martial arts school. I needed to learn how to fight and fight fast. Unfortunately after more than a year of training in Korean martial arts and a Black Belt, I still had no clue what to do in the street! I had given up on Tae Kwon Do and Korean martial arts and had went on to look for more realistic style combat that would help me survive the streets.
Eventually I gave in and purchase The I.M.M.A. Korean courses on a gut feeling that I had missed out on something. I wondered why Master Mike whom I have learned a great deal from and who is a good friend would now be involved in a style I thought was useless! Because I know Mike to be a serious person when it comes to reality combat, I gave it a shot...and realized I had been fooled as a kid! Master Nigel is one of the most reality based combat fighters I have ever seen! Any one involved in security and protection would be a fool to not learn from this man! Forget what you think and what you have seen! Master Nigel shows you what Korean martial arts was REALLY meant to be! I now have trained in ALL of Master Nigels korean Courses and am pleased to represent his Organization! Thanks Master Mike and Master Nigel for all of your help and support!

His lack of a real bricks and mortar school makes me care less and less everyday. All I can find are his websites and "private" instruction.

**Aikironin21** · Posted On: 6/06/2011 12:20pm

He calls himself "Assassin". He trains people to beat "assassins". Maybe he's not BS after all. All he has to do is teach you beat him. If all his certs are fake, this may be easy to do.

I found a physical address in a few different places, but google maps shows that it is an apartment building. Since it is probably Lazaro's home, I won't post the address.

The pics of him training never clearly show a brick-and-mortar school so I don't think he's ever had one.

I wrote Rilion Gracie's Miami school to ask about Lazaro's training status.

Here is their reply:

Just to confirm your question, Lazaro Bueno is not a Black-Belt under Rilion Gracie and he had train with us for a few months only. He start training with us as a White belt and he left as white belt.

I don't think it could be any clearer.
