More fake BS from yet another BDFS pay to play member: Koga Yang
That is mostly true however his biggest influence in martial arts at the time wasn't due to his martial prowess but his willingness to teach all people regardless of skin colour.
That was pretty bold for the time and guys he taught like Gregory Jaco had quite a positive effect in Chicago with his Karate school as a base for local children to come as an alternative to the street.
Thats probably the only thing I respect him for.
I've always thought that Dante hid his bullshit behind racial issues the same way Dux hid his bullshit behind kids, including disabled ones. I get it, but I don't think not being a bigot would qualify anyone as a good martial artist...they could still teach crap, just a woke mode.
I don't think Black Dragon ninja masters could afford to discriminate...already hard enough to find willing marks for their scam.
I did too! In fact on a good day I can probably still remember how to do it.
That book was also Radford rather than Keehan don't forget
I'll have to dig up the book but IIRC Radford has a whole section on Dante in that book. Second-hand bullshit derived from first hand bullshit == bullshit.
I find it ironic that the cult of Bruce Lee and the cult of Count Dante have essentially similar mythology...street fights, amazing ancient Asian-fu, rejection of the old masters prohibitions on sharing the deadly...and don't forget Radford himself wrote a whole biographical slant about Dante and himself saving race relations from the Democratic Convention in the 60's onward.
Attaching themselves to otherwise noble pursuits (teaching kids, race relations) is a kind of human shield they put up to mask their true con-man nature. It's all part of the smokescreen. Dux famously used this same tactic to hide his BS behind a disabled man just a few years back, throwing the kid in front of his videos for a while because the kid was a superfan of Dux. The idea of anybody associated with BDFS teaching kids creeps me out, and I don't get creeped out easily.
Actually, he was here to talk trash on Yoga Wang for some reason. Unfortunately he thought this was twitter or something and kept limiting himself to 120 characters, and thus didn't make a lot of sense. His ramblings were taken to be aimed at people other than his intended target. Then when it was pointed out to him, he decided to have a fit, take his keyboard and go home. Honestly, someone who can't be bothered to speak in complete sentences let alone actual paragraphs is no great loss.
I'm going to take your word for it, since going back and rereading his posts will probably cause me physical pain.
You are correct that I simply used context and tone to draw a (false) conclusion, since there was no lucidity to the posts themselves.

There are plenty of stories including the dojo storm of the green dragons to show that the guys in the martial arts in Chicago at that time did fight and sadly for Jim Kosovic die.
Dante organised the Taunton Death matches which was basically a scruffy UFC One.
Dante was most definitely an arsehole but he was a complex character and I think there is at least some evidence to show that there was a genuinely talented martial artist in him running along side the bullshit con artist.
That sadly is the bit the Fraud Squad forgot to emulate.
To be fair to Yoga Wang he is at least trying to actually throw down allbeit in a special olympics kinda way.
Sorry for the Thread Necromancy (and well I've not posted here in forever) .... Lee is making himself infamous all over the place (not really, he's just a little cunt, but with no warmth or depth).

Funny thing is, Lee Manure uh Maur had never heard of of Ron Colins till I told him who it was, what he did. He did not care then. Soon after he approached (knowingly) an underage girl on line, and sent a dick pick. He ran and hid (he is doing that now) then he came back against Ron. THEN he went to hang with David Richardson, and Frank Dux. THEN Lee fucked up again, and now tries to pretend to "hate them too".
Moral of the Story. Lee is not someone to trust. He will turn on you if he thinks he will get out of jail.
Funny thing is, Lee Manure uh Maur had never heard ...blah, blah, blah
No, the funny thing is that the world of the ninjers so strongly parallels professional wrestling. Watching all of their drama unfold by way of internet, in the form of rhetorical bitch slap fighting is basically the equivalent of watching WWE - Dungeons and Dragons edition.
