Some of my friends were granted licenses in 6 ryu-ha of Hatsumi-den Ninjutsu, including the Togakure Ryu. Some even reached shodan and higher. The teacher now claims that they never taught Togakure Ryu and that the licenses, which were signed are now void. Some of my friends have spent, literally thousands training with this particular martial arts instructor who was, from what I understand, granted permission by Hatsumi Sensei himself to license the 6 Ryu-ha in question. I also understand this this is apparently nearly unheard of for Hatsumi Sensei to do.
What does this mean?
Are my friends entitled to a refund? Is this ethical? The rank licenses are signed with the correct Kanji. I myself have training under this teacher and have signed licenses with the Togakure Ryu on them. Have I been swindled? Has the entire student base been scammed?
I am not looking to start a fight, but I am looking for answers. I believe there has been an injustice.
