[CoffeeFan]

Is it even worth checking his Judo claim?

[Kickapoo]

I would assume not, no.

[submessenger]

I know we've talked about this school before... dunno if it was MABS or not; yep, found it: http://www.bullshido.net/forums/show...=101692&page=4

[gunnerp]

All I have to say is WOW

[Eddie Hardon]

"Supreme Grandmaster" ? "Sphinx Grandmaster" ?

Mind-boggling number of 10th Dans, 9th Dans etc.

I'd have to see some of them on the mat - if only out of curiosity.

[aldecoa]

If it's this school he must be a 10th degree black belt to handle such shit, chaos, and general randomness.

Is it even worth checking his Judo claim?

it *is* the only claim on there worth checking, however.

[LoneWanderer]

It's very nice of them to let their red belts use the title Grandmaster.

Seriously, if you're going to pretend to be a 10th degree in everything would it kill you to wear a black belt in the accompanying pictures?

[Like_A_Boss]

Under the "What we do", at the bottom of the page they, among other things list:

"Award Martial Art Styles/Systems to Innovative Instructors"

What exactly does that mean?

If I am innovative enough can I have my own system and declare myself the grandmaster?

[LoneWanderer]

"Award Martial Art Styles/Systems to Innovative Instructors"

What exactly does that mean?

I think maybe it means he's a motivational corporate speaker for made up martial arts. Like an AMWAY rally.

[Sri Hanuman]

His 10th degree victory kali martial arts has been awarded by "the Philippines." Does any particular resident of that geographic location recall the inaguration ceremony?

[thorthe power]

I think it means the "entire" country gave it to him....wow

[Like_A_Boss]

I think it means the "entire" country gave it to him....wow

What a ceremony that must have been



Apparently they served cake afterwards.

you do know that in judo 9th and 10th dans wear a red belt, right? and that all belt systems are based on judo, right?
