Its funny because I was talking to my friend in the Marine Corp about Martial Arts last night.

The Marine System is mainly Judo/Jujutsu which some Special Forces technique previously taught. Most of the Jujutsu is Yoshin Ryu style locking due to the influence of Jack Hoban.

"To get started, all you need to do is join the association and order your first DVD and JKD manual and you are on your way. When you have the moves down, simply video tape yourself in action and put it on VHS, VHS-c, CD Rom, or DVD, send it in with your name,address, and test fee, and our panel of experts will review your performance and award you your JKD rank certificates / or inform you as to what you did wrong and how to correct the problem so you may advance in rank and in knowledge. "

Waitaminit... Just throwing jab-cross-hook combinations in mid-air in front of a camera, no pads, bags, no nothing.... mid-air pak sao lop sao motions without an opponent to even run simple trapping drills against... Gets you a rank certificate? :bssign:

Wait, what's this about a test fee?

"Student rank testing fee’s with certificates Level 2-6 $50 each level, Level 7-8 $60 each level, 9-10 $75 each level, 11-12 $90 each level , Black Sash $300"

Rusty math skills, ACTIVATE! ($50 x 5) + ($60 x 2) + ($75 x 2) + ($90 x 2) + ($300) equals.... $1000 in belt fees, not including association member fees, "instructorship" program fees, the costs of your DVDs and books.... all for shadowboxing "kata". Theoretically, you don't even have to leave your house, if your postman comes to pick up whatever you're sending to this dude.

It looks almost like a baseball card...

I can't figure out if he's trying to look tough in that pic of if he is in a drug-induced stupor.

I went through the certification process just to see if he was legitimate or not. I'm not saying he is or anything, but even though I had 3 years of JKD experience and had trained with Sifu Dan Inosanto on numerous occasions, he would not certify me as an apprentice instructor without me going to train with him in Oklahoma. Maybe he just wanted the money?

Actually perhaps he wanted to meet you in person to make sure you were a reasonable guy and not a wingnut, that certainly is a valid consideration.

This guy is a joke - I'm an instructor at an Inosanto Academy affiliate in Tulsa and I've been to this guys school (when he had one 10 years ago). He's nothing but a con-man and 10 years ago when I was a yellow or orange (level 2 & level 3) I knew more about everything than he did.

If you can't figure out just from his website that he's retarded, you have issues.

He is just a big fat running joke in OK - look him up on www.okfightnews.com/forums and you'll get some great laughs.
