Can anyone tell me if Warren Dabney is a Sayoc instructor. He's claiming to teach the program here in Buffalo, NY.

Thanks in advance.

I didn't see his name on the Sayoc's instructors page but it might not have been updated.

Here is the gentleman's email ([email protected]) from the school site where he teaches, have you considered contacting him directly?

So is he authorized to teach Sayoc Kali in Buffalo?
Is he claiming to be a Certified Sayoc Kali Instructor?

Hey Harold,

I am just guessing but he probably was certified and then
did not pay the annual recertification fees. (just a guess though)

Agreed. Ask to see his credentials.

Also, before someone else points it out, make sure the thread doesn't turn into a "fraud busting" effort on the guy.

It is known that for political reasons, MANY instructors in various styles have been removed as instructors and taken off of family trees and denied they had rank.

All I've been told is that he's not an instrutor and Sayoc legal will be handling things.

Wow, but you never spoke with Mr. Dabney, directly? Why not?
Maybe there more to this than your informant knows and could tell you.
My Sayoc infromant has a slightly different story to tell and he spoke
directly with Mr. Dabney.

I hope that this gentleman was given approval to teach the FMA(s) regardless of style.
