1) There is no need to use any title to address me since I am not your teacher.
2) That is not the person I was referring to as “Mr. L”.
3) Why? You piped up as if you knew something. Don’t get me wrong I am not trying to be little you but you have followed this same pattern on other forum. Posting replies about Mr. Oyata, members/ex-members of his association, things related to his training, history, etc when you actually don’t have all the facts.
I am not trying to “convert” you or tell you to quite training with the people you are presently training with. Just be aware of all the
facts. Both folks you mentioned actually trained with Mr. Oyata and were given rank by him and have some skill. In Shiro’s case I only know about his Karate…his kata looks fairly decent....I am not/was never interested in his sword skill or Aikido so I won’t comment on those aspects. However, I do know when someone is playing the “Asian Card”* and to me it looks as if he is doing just that. Also, considering the fact that he was only a 7th dan in my teacher’s style and a 4th dan in Goju I wonder where and from whom he got his 9th dan. But of course nobody asks.
I also wonder why he is giving out ranks in jujutsu since to the best of my knowledge he has never trained in that art.
(I think I will give out some rank in XXXXX art today....anybody wanna buy some....I'm "Asian" so don't worry the rank is legit.
)
*The “Asian Card” is when an Asian instructor get’s away with saying/claiming/pretending to be all kinds of crap that he knows just would not fly in his own country but that same garbage gets eaten up by non-knowing, gullible westerners.....and nobody questions it no matter how stupid it sounds because he's "Asian"
