On that note I want a bumper sticker that says "My DOJO is also the Firing Range!" or something to that effect.

I think that weapons that use pysical contact like swords, clubs, shivs, and cats are MA weapons wheras guns, crossbows, lazors are not based on them being long ranged weapons not requiring physical confrontation. Not to say I don't train with guns though.

Rather silly train of thought. Simple fact that WEAPONS used in Combat/War are MARTIAL by nature the range at which they are employed doesn't matter. Kyujutsu (Archer) and Teppojutsu (old school Japanese musket) are considered MA so why can't learning to use a Glock or Shotgun not be one MA? (Hint they are MA) Why because learning to properly use a firearm requires technical skill just like using a close range weapon.

He is also a raving lunatic, but that is an entirely different story.

That fat dude isnt fast nor agile. All his punches in the video are loopy with hands down chin up technique. Perhaps he should consider making a Dallas Sumo school.

I still think that dude is comedy gold and would love to watch more videos of him.

Me, too. I wonder how real experts like Donn Draeger would feel about comments like that. Probably the same as you & me...

Plus, what is the average range that most "gun battles" occur at? 7-10'.

Hello, I found this and felt it was pretty interesting.
I have an open policy and don't mind answering questions.
Feel free to ask me regarding this silly and immature thread about my personal experiences, skills, license and etc.
Thank you,

Almost three years and now you respond? That's silly and immature as well.

I doubt very strongly you "found" this thread. I believe you were informed. I culled a few posts from a sycophant a few days ago.

Interesting that "you" suddenly show up a few days later.

Let's hear what the man has to say.

Regardless of how he got here, at least he had the stones to man up/show up to answer any questions.

You know that isn't how it works.

Nope that happens all of the time now. If he mans up and answers questions then he has stones.

Okay then:

Mr Severe-

Who do you claim you shodan(s) from in shotokan and sport judo as stated here on your webpage (instructors names, organizations and year you received these ranks?):

Thank you

Hello,
It is true I was looking up information and I came across this because it had my name on it. I found it to be pretty silly and immature because I have a open door policy with my training and with being asked Q through e-mail, phone and letter. I believe this is well known among the martial arts community.
This thread covers a great deal of BS and false information regarding me and the training I have done as well as do now.
I would expect this because it is on a forum where people hide and talk trash about others.
More or less I could care less.
But for fun..
I will play and joke with you on this..
First off I will answer any Q regarding my training now or with the Bujinkan Dojo under Hatsumi sensei or with any of the members I trained with in the Bujinkan Dojo during the time I was a member in that organization in my good time. If you wish to be rude or immature with your Q I will not reply. I believe that is fair.
You may ask a Q now.
Thank you,
Ralph
