Yeah, and there are loads of others.

People argue that it was a knee jerk decision (pun intended), but it really wasn't when you look at the facts. It's just plain fucking dangerous, no two ways about it.

The more I think about it, the more I think he was bullshitting and he used it to justify some fairly unrealistic moves as "the real deal". You trust people who have good CVs so it's not fair to exaggerate them.

Poor training is poor training there is no difference between performance and martial in that regard.

It /was/ poor training and after a few sessions I identified that. However, the reason I went to train with him was his reputation as a realistic instructor and talked a big game upfront. In reality, what he was peddling was not legit.

Should invite him to the next UK throwdown, see how he holds up.
