Well if this is accurate there are good and bad points to it.

From his website:
Sheldon sensei trained within the associations of Kenshin Kan (Fusei Kise sensei), Matsusokan (Takaya Yabiku sensei), Matsumura Kenpo (Yuichi Kuda sensei), and Matsumura Seito (Kosei Nishihara sensei) before creating an autonomous group dedicated to researching and perpetuating the old ways. He has worked closely with a number of prominent Matsumura Shorin Ryu teachers including Ronald Lindsey, Anthony Sandoval, Ted Lange, Rick Rose, and others.

1) Recently Kuse Fuse has been known to give away dan rank like it’s candy on Halloween. He himself is skilled though.
2) Yabiku Takaya has a lot of “controversy” surrounding him. “Soke” Ron Goninan (do a search for him on here) got some pretty lofty rank from him in an extremely short time. Yabiku was also known for selling fake Hohan Soken certificates as well.
3) A friend of mine trained with Tony Sandavol and says he is the “real deal”

Actually I just noticed that E-Budo's very own Jim Neeter is in the photo at the bottom of the page. Maybe he can answer your question.

Hi Jim,

In the above post it says Mr. Sheldon trained "within the Associations of...Kuda Yuichi".

Can you elaborate on this? I have never heard of him-and while that does not mean a thing in relation to his training-it does make me curious.

Thank you!
