Congrats on leaving shadow_beast. Don't feel bad - you figured it out a lot quicker than most others. Mind you, having everyone here screaming "nooooo!" at you might have speeded things a bit.:toothy11:

As for your contract, see my blog entries on exit strategies. Since you're still in your one month trial period, you should be able to cancel your contract with no obligation.

thanks, yeah i left before the 10 day limit, so i should be fine.

edit: looking at videos now.

^^ wow, where have i seen that? oh yeah, learned something very much the same in JJJ (only vid i found so far, checked about 10 pages.

I also noticed like 20 pages back people still think i work for fsd, that i am brian, or which ever, lol thats funny.

Actually, the 10-day limit is for Ontario. You'll want to check the start date on your contract. If it starts after the free month is over, you're gold. If it's already passed, then technically you owe 1/10 of the contract value (assuming you've left within the first 1/10 of the contract term).

BTW, would you mind posting the text of the contract (without your details, of course). I'd be interested in seeing what it says.

well if you mean scan it, i have no scanner, so i cant, the most i can do is just type what it says, but would there be a point to that? up to you, lol.

edit: hmm, i just looked at it again, thing is i dont wanna post any info from it, like start date, etc, sounds stupid, but i think a few people watch this thread from fsd, and i really dont need anymore problems, thats all i need, them calling me talking about this thread..

thereis not much info on it anyway, my start date, payment plan, etc.

but i still prefer not to post it public, i know, i sound like a sissy, lol

Saving Shadow Beast Time

You learned the now famous phantom elbow in JJJ? Oh yeah, it was Aikido.

Not that I think you are illiterate -I am sure if you actually took the time to read the thread you would find thes, here are the videos again:

Wish I could take credit for them, but others do the work, they just keep me around for my looks.

Now, lets here your review?

i know, i sound like a sissy, lol

Yup....

[shadow beast]

ugh guys forget it, it seems no matter how hard i try you guys cannot accept me, i was done with the insults, i came back on here to say i quit fsd, talking calm, and yet i am still being insulted.

and askari, what i took was nintai ryu aiki ju jitsu, see the name ju jitsu? its not called nintai aiki ryu aikido for a reason.

and yeah i learned something thats almost 98% the same in my old classes.

edit: and i see nothing amazing in those videos, except for alot of chain punches.

1. aiki jujitsu =/= japanese jujitsu, but is close to aikido and thats why we say you did aikido.
2. I'm sorry but with all the crap that is floating around fsd we have becomed suspicious, and your story, while maybe true, sounds fishy. Sorry if it hurts your fellings but thats how it is.
3. so you trained at tristar 4 years ago and you trained at l'academie martiale serei too, but you still went to FSD... Try to take my point of view and tell me this does not sounds weird...
4. Bullshido in my personnal opinion is not just a place to be accepted by other people. Yes you can make friends and have fun and all that stuff, but in the first place bullshido is about being thruthfull with yourself and others when considering the effectivenss of a certain martial art. FSD sifus and sijo are not being thruthfull with themselves or anyone else, and that is why we are talking about them here.

keep that in mind.

Lets see:

How many times did you leave?
How many times did you come back nice?
How many times did you come back angry?
How many times did you change your stories?
How many times did you insult?


Now ask yourself why trying the " lead flies to sugar" approach isn't working.

Hearsay

Shadow Beast,

In addition to the points raised by the other posters, you only would post Hearsay when questioned as to why you left FSD. At no point would you post your own direct experience. This intentional obfuscation was immediately evident.

Other former FSD students have come on this board and posted their own personal previous experiences, that doesnt get them jumped on because they are reporting their direct knowledge.

You disparaged a pro-fighter by claiming a rumour of a worked fight. When pressed you did not have any proof other then "A girl told you," this is hearsay, and I dont find it acceptable as information that leads to a better understanding.

I do not have an automatic be nice to people because they appear to agree with me. You still have to make it to a certain standard of proof.

Furthermore, after claiming a great deal of martial arts experience you cant seem to see the incredibly obvious tactical and strategic flaws in the videos being produced by sJP. These are edited videos where he has the chance to shoot and re-shoot the video, has a partner wear a kicking shield and still sJP misses the kick on more then one occasion.

It does not take a martial arts master to see that any striking technique, must at least have a chance of connecting in order to function.

Now if sJP were producing these as a joke, that wouldn't be an issue. For example Todd Weeks produces a very similiar type of product, which I can only see as humour.

Askari, you made my day, Todd Weeks is hilarious, never heard of this guy before.

I must admit sJP is a slightly more polished is his vidoes but I am sure we all can see why J. Demile ditched sJP... oh oh my cat is doing..... the heart attack close....... no sorry...... just a hairball.... wheh! that was close.

Oh, Oh Shadow Beast! What is wrong with you? I really think there is something wrong with you. When dropping all my assumptions of you and your link to FSD, I still am left with an incredible feeling of WTF? You are really one wierd cookie, and frankly have become quite annoying.

From now on I won't accept anything from you that isn't absolute fact, which means that you can support it with adequate evidence. By this I mean that it can stand against reasonable scrutiny. As for everything else you say, it will be disregarded as thread drift and complete mental idiocy.

STICK TO FACTS AND QUIT SAYING STUPID SHIT! I have no problem listening to you if you learn to communicate better. Take time to think through what you're typing. Re-read your posts and come clean instead of spewing crap from all corners of the field. I'm not trying to insult you, but you insult me by wasting my valuable time by making me read your crap. I'm trying to follow a well built thread about FSD and it's problems, not your stupidity.

Come on Shadow Beast you can do better. I'm rooting for you!

[TKD Black Belt]

...he can do it yes he can
if he can't do it....

Well I'm sure Jacques will think of someone who can. I mean there has to be someone somewhere with an equally bad taste in silk outifts and Paul Mitchell hair products.

I think I've figured this out, Jacques needs to keep charging more to afford the hair dressing bill he forks out every few days to keep his quaffed do looking it's best. I haven't seen so much attention put towards hair care and martial arts since:

wtf? how am i wasting your time?

I quit fsd, and thats it, i do not want to say too much on here because i know people read this thread.

everything i said in my other post was something that was really said to me, sure maybe the guys lied, i dont care, i was just saying what they said, and thats it.

come clean about what? i posted what these guys said, and thats it, like i said i wont say much else in public.

and also, you need to stop being an asshole, was i insulting you? no, all i get in this thread is bullshit.

[It is Fake]

Okay let me get this right. After posting other peoples stories you are scared to post your own?


You are that scared of retaliation that you would heap it on people you just met?

Yep, you are a dick.
