Has anyone actually seen Sacharonski perform any techniques? I understand that he's quite good in Aikijujutsu, but haven't heard about all of the other arts that he claims.
It's sad really. It's made me change my whole outlook on organized martial art programs. Rod's focus has always been on his fame, his recognition, associations, certifications, etc. Had it just been on his abilities, he could have truely been great. But I guess you can say that for just about everyone.
I must say that the majority of the information that we have about Sacharnoski that is damaging comes directly from his own mouth. On the surface, it appears that he has been involved in a campaign of complete lies to his student base. He shoots himself in the foot on so many occassions, that it's funny. Then again, it's sad, because alot of people continue to buy into it.
I hope that he can see the error of his ways, and make a positive change. I guess everyone deserves a second chance to a certain extent.
