Don't tell Paruski that, his claims to lot of things are, how do i say. 'intesting?'
Fear not, he was asked not to use the name by honbu in Japan so it is now shin tenshin shin'yo ryu. He isn't the only one to claim a 7-dan, but i wonder they the stop at 7-dan. Perhaps to tell the real world of tenshin shin'yo ryu that no ond has achieved a higher grade? Or maybe the top grade is 7-dan?
I don't know and don't care what he claims anymore. He has pulled almost as many shenanigans as DocRod so I don't give it credibility, I just report on it.
I did invite him to be out guest in Spotlight on Budo but he declined.
