Dan Segarra has not even purchased one of my books, any comments from him must be attributed to whatever.
I asked him to help make one of my books on Soo Bahk Do accurate. He agreed to do so. Then when I sent him an early draft of the book, he sent me some comments and then stopped, then he refused to answer my emails. He had done the same thing when I asked him to help me on my hyung to kata conversion matrix I developed about 10 years ago.
After I published the book, which was considerably different than the draft I had sent Dan, he became vocal about the contents. He has never bought a book, and what he has to say about my books should be considered baseless.
There are always indiviuals that are quick to criticize what others do. These individuals are usually pretty good at the kick/punch aspects of Tang Soo Do. Seldom do they have any other talents. If they did we would read about them in articles and books, but we don't. Their role in Tang Soo Do is on the sidelines, watching what others accomplish.
To Clarify this typical gobblygook that Len writes. Len did send me a copy of his book, it was so riddled with errors that I had to e-mail him various corrections, none of which he ever made. I also requested that he either remove the cut and paste content which HE did NOT author (I did) from his book or give me credit.
That was the last I heard from Len. He then appeared on my website
www.warrior-scholar.com in the forum hocking his so called 'books' Yes I never bought one, my money would be better spent on say things like cat litter since lining my cat's box with his book did not work. The cat refused to crap on it. I guess cats have some self respect.
"Seldom do they have any other talents. If they did we would read about them in articles and books, but we don't. Their role in Tang Soo Do is on the sidelines, watching what others accomplish"
Len the only talent you have is copying other people. Even the tracings from other peoples books are bad. I don't know what's worse your tracings or your writings.
As for talent, Len I have more talent in my small toe than you have in your entire being, if you can't comprehend that feel free to visit me anytime for a demonstration. I'd compare my technique against your's anyday.
As for sitting on the sidelines, I'd happily compare resume's anytime with you.
As for 'watching what you accomplished' I'm still waiting for you to accomplish something. I can't find one experienced practioner that likes your books other than you, and your not that experienced. You've made yourself the joke of the Tang Soo Do community and you've got no one to blame for that but yourself.
