Yeah, Miika Kolehmainen is such a Japanese-sounding name.
Actually, there is an ancient linguistic link between Finish and Japanese, both having Ural-Altaic roots.
But I'm way off topic.

Mike, it sounds like you did your best with this student, but some people can never accept that they are in a lower position than someone else.
He wouldn't let you be the teacher, but now he wants others to treat him like a teacher.
Maybe some day he'll be on E-Budo.com asking us for help with his own problem student, and we'll all just say, "Remember when..."
Good luck with your club, and with the students you still have; I think you're better off without that other one.
Yours in Budo,
