Hi guys,
I was an ACK student for a brief time in the 80's on Long Island. for decades I've been training on and off out in West Coast and now in Idaho(middle of nowhere lol) I was there at the time of the Sensei's leaving and going to Tai-zen. Not a great time as I recall. I was on a former ACK thread awhile ago that is unfortunately closed. I know through an old friend of mine that Romeo is now a Kyoshi in Tai-zen. My question did Willing go back to ACK and leave Tai-zen? I noticed on the thread how his logo looks like a modern version of it..and I asked him in thread but got not answer. Also he is now a Grandmaster. Did he take it over? I had thought McCaffrey was still teaching or perhaps one of the other instructors(names elude me at the moment) I recall Romeo having more years in the martial arts so I guess it's my cluelessness to how did Willing become higher ranked. I'd be shocked if was self promotion because of how I remember him but like I said i've been out of the loop for a long time. Just looking for clarification and understanding, not here taking any sides. Just open discussion.. Thanks fellas Usss!!
