I could ask you to answer all the questions I asked you in the past and you saw fit to dodge before I even consider answering yoursÂ’Â….but at this point I donÂ’t even careÂ…ppko said:
Let's see.....I have a couple of options here…I could be like some of the other “lamers” I have seen on MT and not answer your question ...OR… I could be a real wuss like someone on MT who shall go nameless and cry “Thread Drift….Off Topic” then go crying:waah: to the “Mod Squad” and report your post ……..OR …..I could just give you an honest answer as best as I remember and give you an an answer I feel you deserve.
Dates: ThatÂ’s a tough oneÂ…would have been over the last ten or twelve years or so starting in 1991 up to 1995ish(?)...
Names: Well, as far as GeorgieÂ’s peopleÂ…all of them only stayed for one class and that was around the above mentioned time frameÂ…actaully I don't recall what their names were....to be honest I wasn't that interested...so sorry canÂ’t help yaÂ….first off even if I did remember I certainly wouldnÂ’t blast it over the Internet. Secondly, I have no idea what you want or need that info for.
Around 1999~2000 I had one of MoneymakerÂ’s 4th dans from the U.K. come to one classÂ….I know him because he worked at the same office with another student of mine. He popped in for one class, didn't do so well when demonstrating the techniquebunkai he had learned from Moneymaker, did even worse at bogu and never came back even when invited by my student and myself. He was a nice guy just couldn't swallow his pride.
Last summer I had a student of PatanziÂ’s (so he claimed) stop by as well, canÂ’t remember his name either....something French... He was a nice guy just not very skilled in MAs. I actually think he lied about his training.
If you think I made it up about having some of his guys come to my dojoÂ…fine, I donÂ’t care. ....call me a "liar" if you want. I can suffer your slings and arrows.
Sorry, I canÂ’t remember every person that has walked through my dojo door over the last 15 years. The ones that stay and train I remember....the ones that don't are just "Budo Tourists" to me.
How shall I put this politely???? Â….Honestly, after reading some of your ideas and concepts on training and the way you conduct yourself here your opinion on anything doesnÂ’t rate very high in my book.
Earlier you tried to accuse me of promoting my own teacher and claimed I was saying what everyone else did was crap. ThatÂ’s not the case at all.
I rarely if ever mention my teachers name on any internet board or even my profile for that matterÂ….I canÂ’t do what my teacher does, and when the brown stuff hits the fan he is not going to be there to save me either. I donÂ’t ride on other peoples coat tales.
I respect any martial artist that trains hard and trains with realism, or as much as the law will allow.:rofl:
“D.Cobb” is/was from Dillman’s Assoc…..that never bothered me in the slightest. I like and respect what D.Cobb says and the way he trains. I have MA friends in Tokyo that train in arts that don’t really interest me but they train hard and train with realism….and I respect them for it. There are even a couple guys on MT that trained/train with me now. They do other arts, but they train hard, and train for real....and I respect them for it.
It’s when people buy into “Martial Voodoo” type crap that belongs more in a comic book than a dojo is when they lose my respect.
So ppko, you can take this thread anywhere you like, make all the insinuations about me you want, call me a liar, a cheat, a thief, an axe murderÂ….whatever your heart desiresÂ….
