Ok, I personally think Jules' claims are suspicious and he's obviously awarded himself 5th dans and whatever. But one thing he's done that has impressed me is offer to meet people face to face. He seems legit as to where you can find him and insisting on him going to a Throwdown is a bit unfair if he's not part of the MMA, grappling or kickboxing scene.
A lot of people are saying "why should we bother meeting him?" well I thought this place was about putting up or shutting up. Jules seems to want to put up and he seems to want to walk the walk even if he is talking shite about secret service work and other things.
Also, what will it prove "trying to prove him wrong?"? He's not exactly going to say "ok right you got me. good play lads" is he. When it comes down to it, Martial Arts is about fighting, not "investigating" or background checks.
If you went to meet Jules then why not have a few of you go? Even if Asia fights some others can still be there if the bouncers get involved ... which I doubt they would do if it's an arranged thing. And before someone says "why don't you go?" well the reason is because i'm in Britain.
If Bullshido is all about putting up or shutting up, then why are you ducking Jules challenge? That's not to say his claims are not bullshit .... but we could go around in circles on them forever. I say meet up, and even if you don't fight it can be recorded and posted and both parties will have more respect at the end of it. The JFS saga went on for ages until it finally came to blows, and that is evidence enough to prove that that is what is necessary to settle these things sometimes.
