Has someone heard of this person.

I am posting this thread to see if anyone out there in martial arts land has heard of a man called Eric Hochmuth (maybe had different name in past).

This guy was four times north west U.S martial arts champion a few years back, not sure how long ago, so maybe any of you people from the USA out there may have heard of him. I have done some minor research myself but can't find a thing about him despite being a 4 times north west U.S martial arts champion.

This guy runs a McDojo in the town that I live in, which I used to go to but after a disagreement I had my eyes opened up for me and I left.

Maybe one of you guys out there know something?

Yes and no.

Considering that any org and create their own championships.
When I was in OK there a a guy that claimed to be a world champion. He was. However the World Championship was from his dads org and held in some backwater town in OK.

So, did you think that a "world Champion" from an OK event with a handfull of guys is not BS? Is a world champ that never fought an international, let along a large group of national competitors, a legit "world champion"?

At least this guy did not claim to be a world champ...only a 4 time north west US Champ...LOL.

Ken Fox,

OK, I checked out this guy's site. It does not say 4 time "Martial arts" champ. It simply says "4 time western US champ". Your post seems a bit misleading.

He could very well be a 4 time western US TKD champ. Under ewhat org? He does not say. But what is clear is that it does not say he is a camp in "martial arts"

I also found this...where he states he is a 4th degree in TKD: http://www.club540.com/member19892.html

What is interesting is that he claims to be a western US champ and he lives in Australia

Funny you mention this, because I know Sean O'Grady (who was a pro boxer and is now a fight commentator on Fox Sports) was a lightweight champ after being stripped of the WBA lightweight title. His daddy (I use this term because of the nepotism involved) created the World Athletic Association (WAA) just to name his son a champ. And Sean's brother in law, Monte Masters (who is now dead) had the heavyweight title. The first heavyweight WAA champ was Jumbo Cummings. Masters was GIVEN the vacant title. Oh, and Masters was stripped of his belt when he seperated from his wife (Pat O'Grady's daughter. Yes, nepotism ran wild with this sanctioning body.)

Hooray Nepotism!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If we all follow these rules as to become a "world" champ, and creat our own sanctioning bodies, we can all be champions! It 's little league baseball all over again! Hooray for all of us!

Come on guys! Let's make a Bullshido fighting league, so we can have our own world champions! I am sure there are enough willing suckers......I mean, participants who can throw money into this organization! Come on, let's DO IT!!!!

How about this title of the organization:

Bullshido World of Fighting Arts. Or the BWFA. How about it?!

I know this is an old thread but I just found it. I know exactly where Eric is. He has been my Tae Kwon Do master for around 9-10 years now. Why may I ask are you looking for him?
