Seems like a lot of styles for one man to master at such a young age.
Bullshido yes/no?

Why do you feel he has mastered all of the styles?

I don't, but to list them all as styles he has studied is a bit misleading.
That's like taking a months worth of BJJ and then adding that to your list.

He claims no rank in those styles, only that he is the master of the style he invented when he was 18, "M D Martial Arts" (also referred to as "M D Kung Fu")

So clearly he is the one in the best position to know if he is an expert in that system.

He has an entire series of youtube videos - his site confirms that these are clips supplied by him: http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=...li&view=videos

All kinds of invaluable instruction there, like knife defenses against people trying to.. idunno, cut your hair or something is what it looks like they are going for.

He does Nunchak(sic) too!

Shouldn't this be in YMAS?

How do we move it YMAS?

Invoke the power of the Mods. If they feel it needs to be moved, they'll move it. Or you could request as such.
This forum, MABS, is for serious discussion and to start an investigation here you need to provide why you believe the subject is claiming things that aren't true.

I dont think he's claiming much, except he trained in lots of stuff, and is teaching a couple of them, not that he mastered them all.

Yoj: You're right, he doesn't claim to have rank in anything. He's reffered to as Sifu in the site (much more prefferable than Grandmaster or something, i guess...)

Looking through the site it seems it doesn't really spin any false information or sketchy history as to the MA he's had experience in. He doesn't claim to teach all of those arts, and i wouldn't be surprised if the kids and womens kickboxing is more of a fitness class.

Edit: Watched the 'sparring' video. There is no real contact, and it looks a bit practiced. There were no particular moves it there that caught the attention af my red flags though.
