Looking for some real info.

[terryl965]

I would like to know if anybody has any info. about these style or instructor or association? Just curious, he is opening up a school around me and actually never heard of him or the style, he says he mixes 4 in 1 and to me this makes no sense in the 4 styles.
Thank you in advance.

Never heard of it but that realy dose not mean much.
With claiming a 9th, a 7th, and two 5th degrees in different arts I normaly would question them but he dose name the organisations (systems).
With over 40 years of training he might well have those ranks

the picture on the left of his opening page warns me off I don't know any people who float in the air

maybe I missed it but I don't think I ever saw where the system he claims to teach came from or where he got rank in it

What makes me wonder is the blank Hapkido 9th dan certificate he has on the web site. Never seen one without a number, name, or date. Maybe somebody who has a Hapkido Dan ranking can clear it up. Could be it is to the left of the writing and not where we would "normally" put such things. There is Korean writing over there, but might as well be hieroglyphs to me. Never heard of either him or the art.

Hey Terry I have never heard of them. One thing is for sure
though you have more martial arts schools in your area than
you can shake a stick at.

His kukkiwon dan cert is real. Looks just like mine.


His hapikido cert does not look real. If it is not filled out, it is usually not valid. I emailed the link to our hapkido instructor, he has never herd of this guy, he will ask around, someone else might know him.

Hard to tell for sure if this guy is the real thing or not, I know reaching the upper dans in any art is quite impressive, but he is young to be a 9 dan in anything by my estimate.

Oh he is no competition, his school is about 1/5 the size of mine. He stopped by and gave me his card and ask me to stop by and see what he trains people in. I thought that was a little strange because he is about eight miles from my school. After looking aver his website one section says 40 years and the other section says 30 years, whatever. Brian you know me always looking but when a GM walks into your school and claims everything and ask you if you want to try his training method, to me that just gave a a red flag, do not know too many GM that would do that.

Terry I couldn't name a single one off the top of my head that would do that.

I agree, I know many Korean GM's and they do not look for student by walking into somebody elses school.

He's legit. Sam Bub Jung Do is a spinoff of the Billy Bob Junk Do fighting system. Go's back thousands of years.

 

[Jai]

Qui-Gon with the save. Do you know if his Hapkido cert is legit though? The lack of information on it makes me seriously wonder.

 

[clfsean]

He's only 4 short of CMD/OYD...

Notice the sarcasm dripping off Qui-Gon's post though.

 

[CuongNhuka]

So, we've established that his Tae Kwon Do rank is legit, and there's the possiblity of his Hapkido rank being legit. Kung Fu is a general concept, not a single style. That tells me that either the Kung Fu style he trained is considered poo-poo (like the Yellow Bambo guys), or he is makeing it up. I've never even heard of the last style, so who am I to know?

By the way, what does that name mean? Is that just random none-sense?

I agree his Kukkiwon certificate looks legit. I don't have enough history in Hapkido to know about that certificate. But I'm always skeptical when I see guys like this. Sorry.

 

[Jai]

I have never herd of the name. I can't find anything on it either. Maybe I'm not looking in the right places, or it could be a name he came up with to attach to his "Style"

Actually I put in his name and birhtdate and nothing came up on the KKW website. But that really does not mean it is not legit.

You think it would be listed. Did you punch in the cert number?

 

[Jai]

Not always. I'm not listed in the data base either. But you -would- think anything higher then a 5 Dan would be as most TKD styles that use the Kukkiwon system is a masters rank.

 

[terryl965]

Name and Birthdate is what they go by made a call to another gentkeman that got his cert in the same time frame and the numbers are way off to be correct he says.

Ok I know this is pendantic but you can't be "extremely" unique! or even "quite a bit" unique. You are or are not.
Liked the hovering bit though, is that mystical or the result of eating too many beans?
