I recently saw a demo where they called the system Juko Kai combat Ki. These ppl were taking shot to the throat, groin etc. Now first let me say I was not impressed at all. Most of what I saw I thought was BS but hey I am always open. My question is simply this, Has anyone studied, seen or know anything about this system? I would like to hear from you. I dont have to agree with you to respect your views. All posts are encouraged and welcome.
Thanks

About 3 years ago a guy by the name of Don Cunningham, Stephen Fabian, Jeff Boler, myself and several other people blew the lid of this guys BS operation.
It all started when I did a GOOGLE search for a style my very good friend had trained in at the honbu, the style is called Hontai Yoshin Ryu.
When I clicked on one of the responses a webpage popped up with a photo, in that photo was my good bud standing there with a group of westerners and his teacher Mr. Inoue.
Under the photo it said something like Sacharnoski and students after extensive training at the Honbu. I asked my pal about it and he said that was BS since they only trained in Hontai Yoshin Ryu one day (whch Sacharnoski sat out) and one day do whatever sword style Mr. Inoue teaches. Upon further investigation of his website I saw Sacharnoski claimed to be the US Rep. for Motobu Ryu.
I shot an email off to Sacharnoski asking “what’s up?” with the photo and his claim of being Motobu Ryu’s US director. I got the standard cock-n-bull story. So I called the Honbu for Motobu Ryu, they said “we know any Sacharnoski and don’t have a US Rep. for our style”.
Then there was the whole Oriental University scam where Sacharnoski was claiming to be a Phd. And selling degrees over the internet.

Juko-Kai founder
ordered to pay
$50,000 in harassment, forgery case
WHEATON, IL -- Rod Sacharnoski, founder of Juko-Kai, International, was ordered to pay $50,000 damages for
telephone harassment and forgery on Thursday, Oct. 23, in the 18th Judicial Circuit Court of DuPage County.
After hearing testimony and reviewing hundreds of pages of evidence in the
case, Judge Kenneth A. Abraham ordered Sacharnoski to pay $50,000 in compensatory
and punitive damages to Don Cunningham. A judo instructor and former competitor,
Cunningham is a well-known lecturer and author of two books on the history of
traditional Japanese martial arts.
The original complaint alleges that Sacharnoski frequently contacted the Aurora, IL, resident "with the intent to abuse, threaten, and harass." The second count charges that Sacharnoski forged the plaintiff's name on subscription requests for magazines and other services. Further, the complaint alleges the defendant also conspired with other parties to commit these felonies and to intimidate and annoy Cunningham.
Sacharnoski is the leader of a Texas-based martial arts association.
According to his web site, Juko-Kai has various divisions including ninpo arts and is allegedly authorized by Masaaki Hatsumi of the Bujinkan, an international martial arts organization based on ninja mythology. Sacharnoski and his
followers were recently featured in Discovery Channel documentaries
demonstrating "Combat Ki" by kicking and punching each other in the groin and throat
