Anyone know this Guy?

I would be suspicious of anyone listed on that web page, but I have no proof of anything and make no accusations. Just my own personal opinion.
 
Nope...long resume...one thing missing did not claim to have trained or trained with Bruce Lee...ODD!!!!
 
All I can say is ********, what happen to Chuck Norris and Jackie Chan? This is a resume for the ages and I for one have never ever heard of him until today.
 
No clue. I have no input on his skill, either as a martial artist or an instructor. I will say it makes me very nervous when I see list like these. They are very, very, hard for a person to live up to and look to be very similiar to resume padding.

You'll notice I am listed under that website as well. Then again, you SHOULD be suspicious of me. I am a sneaky bastard.

Hapkido black belt in 2 years too, and lists a tae kwon do black belt without listing when he started training TKD, and got 4th dan only 2 years after 2nd.

I don't know him, don't know anything about him other than this resume page...but it looks fishy to me. Maybe not impossible, but that's a heck of a lot for one man to accomplish.
 
Never heard of him, but like others, I'm somewhat skeptical of a resume like his. The reputation of that org doesn't do anything to make me more confident that he's legit. He may well be a fine practitioner, but like it not there is a certain degree of guilt by associate in things of this sort.

Sensei Sharkey has one of these. It is hung in the dojo in the pro-shop. We usually have a nice chuckle about it as we bug him for the secret recipe.

With all due respect, there are quite a few names there I recognize, but have been led to believe are nothing but charlatans. I personally would hesitate to be associated with such people, lest others think I was made of similar stuff. Please understand I hold you in the highest regard when I say this and mean nothing personal by it.

Hey-Josh was a karate student of Frank Dux-as such, his name belongs on that list.

Funny you should say that. I thought Frank Dux had been widely discredited as a fraudster. Then I noticed on p9 of Taekwondo Times this month (March 2012 edition) that he's listed in the "Legends of the Martial Arts Hall of Fame Awards" advert as Hanshi. Given his reputation, I don't know if I'd have put his name in the advert.

However, does anyone know if this bad reputation is deserved?
