Do we have a claim of where he says his 4th dan in Judo came from?

Yes:

I've inquired with the Yakota Air Force Base, on the off chance that they would have records going that far back, but have received no reply at this writing.

I suspect the name he was thinking of is "Matsunuga". Specifically, Mitsuo Matsunuga.

Well, problem is, it says nothing. Judo ranks MUST be registered. Ergo his rank was registered with someone, IF it really happened.

4th Dan is HUGE in Japan, and it is VERY unlikely it would given to someone without a SOLID Shiai record that this gentlemen lacks.

Moreover, if the rank was valid and legit, it would transfer over to one of the big three, and of course they have never heard of him.

I call Bullshido on his Judo rank.

However, he is full of ****, and NOT a Judoka at ALL!!!!!

He makes a very silly error that exposes him as not a legit Judo guy in his email to you.

ANYONE who REALLY trained Judo in Japan knows it is "Masunaga Sensei" NOT "Sensei Masunaga." Legit Judo people who have trained in Japan don't make that error, as it gets corrected very quickly.

So, again, bullshido on his Judo claim.

I defer to your expert opinion, and had suspected the same myself.

i know first hand that this man is a FAKE but in his defense i think he might be a compulsive liar . He has been kicked out of four different MMA gyms.......sooner or later the truth always comes out.
