Have you Googled Soke 10th dan yet, have you seen the types of people and their farcical lineages associated with Soke Councils ?

You're still doing it. Where I come from that's called a "bitch move".

The only person truly insulting you is you. Through you little insinuations and "just asking questions." Now man up and say what you want to say or go away.

Man up .. Go away ?? ... What was it you said earlier in this thread.. oh yes, I remember... you're not in a position to demand anything

In terms of insults, apparently all I had to do was quote an aspect of the WCAF website.

I can see why you won't answer my question and, that's also fairly obvious to anyone who's read the threads about Soke and Soke Councils.

Who exactly has the WCAF certified as "Soke"?

**Rock Ape** · Posted On: 4/22/2008 4:40pm

It matters not who, only that they exist to carry out that function, and they advertise as much.

Where do they say they grant the title of "soke" to people?

**Rock Ape** · Posted On: 4/22/2008 4:45pm

On the WCAF website, the same organisation to which Mav's teacher is President.

http://www.thewcaf.org/

The WCAF Soke Board is another benefit to our members. Only current WCAF members may be awarded the title of Soke through the WCAF Soke Board. This board offers certification and recognition to those deserving martial artists who have founded their own systems. The board is comprised of Grandmasters & Masters who hold the rank of 7th dan or higher.

So a bunch of roundeyes are abusing an Asian term. Stupidity? Yes, but I mean...come on...they're name is Gaijin-ryu...GAIJIN-RYU.

They should call it the WCAF Shogun Council. That'd be awesome.

Your 'funny' aside, I have no interest in expressing an opinion of the art name.

My previous questions still stand.

Your question is irrelevant. You have to prove that this particular group is guilty of Bullshido, not that other such groups have, ergo this one does.

My questions appear to be irrelevant because... no, sorry mate I don't buy that at all.

I've asked some questions that haven't been answered and, if they are irrelevant as you suggest, they could just as easily be answered as they appear to be dismissed. And this thread wouldn't be as long as it is.
