Guys I dont know where else to turn *cries in anger!* I have uncovered some serious Bullshido, a bullshido network infact and its in the UK. Here is what I have to support my claims.
1 I know a guy who is currently training in it and he told me this: His master can know out and hurt people from accross the room, last week they totally changed the way that they kick technique wise and had to learn all kicks again! They have a "master" called grand master chusan (whom no one has heard of and who has changed his name 3 times, fraud?) He also commented on how they do 1 step punch drills and do this and that and this and that when someone throws a punch (you know what I mean!!)
2 Its £25 pounds for 1 hour lesson!!!!!!
3 There is a rule where you cannot learn any other styles as it is "disrespectful"
4 Some guys who post on the net seem to be brainwashed by all this **** and their "master" quotes using phrases from real japanese masters and passes it off as his own!
5 They learn the following styles! fist of the bamboo spear???? (i know) bushido karate, akido, akido ti??, and all manner of ancient weapons. 1 hr a week...hmm
6 Their students also refuse to answer basic questions on the net when asked and one "sensei" banned his students looking at a forum which showed him for what he really is!

http://www.fightingarts.com/forums/u...ML/000902.html check this thread, also try searching on google for master chusan lol! They call their system bushido, more like bullshido in my eyes!

Help me guys, I need you verdict on this, theres some serious **** goin on with this place!

That would be cool, Im aiming to check out the Nottingham branch if I get time! I really dont like the sound of these guys so far and what others say on them is questionable to say the least!
Has anyone got experience with these guys? Or does anyone know anyone whos paying £25 for 1 friggin lesson 2 times a week!!!!

I've heard of them before. I'm pretty certain about their bullshido status.

Unfortunately, I'm all the way over in Sunny California, so I'm of no help.

They claim they give a free first private lesson

>>
A FREE private lesson with Sensei James Seaward normally follows to further assess your needs. (loose clothing suggested.)

The Interview is an important stage in ensuring that Arts taught are passed only to responsible students.<<

Do you mean they charge 25 pounds after that for a group lesson or for further private lessons or that they don't really give a free lesson?

Edit: Checking the link I see it's one on one instruction

>>But what concerned me most of all is the price that my mate is paying. Approx £25 / hr for one to one tuition.<<

That sure doesn't seem unreasonable to me. At 40 hours a week (which probably isn't possible the guy would earn £50,000 a year. Practically he's lucky to make 2/3 of that.

I'll be in cambridge at some point over Easter.
I dont see what the point is in dropping by but if you can give me a good reason I'll do it.

The good reason it to prove once and for all that what these guys are teaching and preaching is a crock of ****. If one of us turns up there and they are actually good fighters then then they are good fighters end of story! but according to what my friend says and does, these guys are the ultimate in bullshido. Its sad to see people being sucked in and given a false sense of security for an extortionate price by a fake master chusan whos real name is pete delane! Huh!

Peace
