Another Karate/TKD/TSD/Kung fu/Jiu jitsu master opened 2 miles away from my school. I like competition but this guy is 29, overweight and claims to be a 5th dan in 7 different Martial arts! He also claimed that he learned all of his skills from one man in China where he spent 20 years training.
I introduced myself and told him who I was and he looked offended that I would walk into his school. He told me that if I was not there to sign up that I must be there to challenge him. He took a fighting stance and I had to keep myself from laughing in his 250 lb face (He looked to be about 5'5).
Why do people feel the need to embelish their ranking and claim to be something that they are not? Is the general public stupid enough to fall for it? Are there other schools out there like this?
