Keating goes New Age

I surfed over to James Keatings's webpage, http://www.jamesakeating.com/maajak1.html , and found a link to thei site Psi site: http://www.psipog.net/articles.php

There are also links to alien abduction sites and a site focusing on the "inter-dimensional war". Looks like somebody needs to step away from the bong and come back to the really real world.

WTF, over.

Jim's been like that for a good long while, now. He's interested in paranormal/far out stuff. His page is just a random collection of links culled from the net. When you talk to him on the phone, he's actually a pretty straight dude. Although I won't argue on the "bong" thing. If past articles he's posted are any indication, he's got no problems with the herb...

I thought he was a dead writer...

I've always had a hunch that he's a toker...

I really never heard of this guy until this thread. Seems to have a knife fedish.
His website and some of his idea look stooooopid. But hey, whatever floats your boat.

He is practically God in the knife combatives world. I do not know first hand if he is legit.

He's been around awhile. Yeah, I think he's not averse to a toke here and there...

His core knife stuff is FMA based. He branched out into big knives and saber-fencing based methods about ten years ago (a la John Styers). Likes improvised weapons, too. From what I understand, it was getting mugged at knifepoint and getting cut pretty badly in the process that got him into knives. Before that he was a karate guy (Goju and Kenpo, I think?)

He's a good instructor and a friendly guy. Seems like some almost deify him, but he's more of an e-mail pen pal to me.
