"Grandmaster" Hakeem Alexander

[TheEdge883]

Who is this guy? Just reading a discussion board, and this guy posts his resume. 26 year old, supposedly the grandmaster of his CapThaiKido. Sounds like bullshido, but here's the post. Any comments?

Fucking hell how can someone be a 26 year old Grandmaster and still not know the meaning of a paragraph?

Edit: Bruce Lee's movies came out in the late 70s. I sincerely doubt the whole "growing up with Bruce Lee movies" thing. Seems trivial, and it's possible, but something's not right.

Edit2: Seems to have done a lot in his life. At 26. Right. Compares himself to Bruce Lee and Ueshiba. Fucking moron. I hate this dude already.

I do NOT understand why every dickhead on the streets these days decides he's qualified enough to invent a new system "encompassing the principles of BLABLABLA". It's not a new system. There's nothing original in it. You've just taken shit from 3 different MAs and put them together in some random order, and suddenly decided it was different and radical enough to form a new way of fighting.

BJJ for it's time was a new way of fighting. It was original because no MA at the time focused on winning a fight while the fighter was on his back. JKD was revolutionary because it first advocated true MMA cross-training. Kyokushin was original because it advocated full-contact kumite and extreme training methods. Muay Thai is original because of it's 8 body weapons philosophy.

Putting together a bunch of moves from different MAs does not a new fighting style make. Unless they've all figured out something that the other MA's haven't, there's nothing original about them. They're just bastardized martial arts.

This says it all...a mixture of "Capoeira, Muy Thai and Aikido".

This has to be some be some kind of joke or Bullshido troll. If Bullshido really wants to pursue this, I can cover his claims in S. Fla.

All I can say is wow. Wow to whichever forum member put that together. You have somehow managed to capture the essence of Bullshido and contain it for other to marvel at.

LOL, this guy is a right cunt.

This get a chuckle out of anyone else? A 26-year old grandmaster of an art combining three popular styles claiming he's tired of McDojos?

Did a google search, and I don't know where to start. You have to read/see this for yourselves...

Holy christ, read "Backgrounder for my potentials" on the easyjournal one. Here's some select parts:

My poor New York City located family could not afford classes so I mimicked movements I saw on-screen and convinced my parents to at least buy me some shurikens
(throwing/ninja stars) from China-Town and flung them into any target I could possibly find. At the age of nine years old two grown men in an old Buick grabbed me while I was walking down the street from school one block away from home in broad daylight and pulled me into their car and began to drive away. I took some of my throwing stars from my pocket and stabbed the passenger who was holding me in the leg and then gored the driver in
the throat with another when he looked over to his screaming partner, leaving the sharp weapons protruding from their punctured flesh. The car crashed into a house. I exited
the car and ran home.

was arrested on school campus with deadly homemade nunchukas, tri-sectional staffs, and various other injurious devices. Along with that I was reading ninja
books and leading my friends and even once my girlfriend on burglaries to test my espionage skills, which sometimes resulted in my detainment by law enforcement. But not
enough to stop my practice to get me to the point where I have never been arrested for spying once since I was 17 because I became a Houdini-like prowler and escape
artist. Again no pride in that except the skills built.

Aside from his capoeira experience, this includes all the people he's supposedly trained:

Then he gives the same spiel found by Edge.

Grandmaster Hakeem in all his glory.

How much "look at me!" crap can one guy be into all at once? When does he have time to do anytning else?

On the other hand, maybe he can fight; I know that if he acted this big a fool where I come from he'd be fighting for his life every day.

I wonder.
