RyuShiKan,
Shuri is the name of a city in Okinawa and the name that was given to describe certain styles that supposedly came from that area.
Including Shuri Te. There are many Shuri Te organizations around the world. If you chose to ignore this simple fact by closing your eyes that is entirely up to you.
Like I said before, give me a name of someone in Okinawa the teaches a style called Shuri Te.

Sorry but I regard your friends credentials to be just as fabricated as yours.
As I said earlier, you are merely trolling with some type of chip on your shoulder.
I suspect for quite some time before my arrival here. As I stated earlier, your arrogant, antagonistic comments speak to your character. Unless I missed the memo, no one has appointed you as the supreme head of all that is the Martial way on this planet. You seem to be an arrogant,traditionalist, elitist snob who has appointed himself as the Karate police. Just because you do not recognize a particular style does not mean it is non-existant.
No true. But I do know pure BS when I see it.

As many members here already know I absolutely can not stand frauds in the martial arts and expose them whenever and wherever I see them.
You have exposed nothing. You have merely run off at the mouth.
Is that so? I think others might disagree.

You're just another "over ranked Yank" that just happend to stray into my sights.
Ahh, the truth comes out....racial profiling and prejudice. An American or Canadian or Brazilain or Russian or Israeli or anything non-Asian is not worthy to hold any type of title or high rank. God forbid we actually start a new system!
Over Ranked Yank is a term I heard from one of my European friends.
Having overly high rank with only a few years train, as in your case, is a very American thing and not that common in Europe or in many other countries. It seems to be a phenomenon mostly prevalent in the US
..hence the term Over Ranked Yank.

That right is reserved ONLY for Asians....with a couple of years of training in a dojo but NOT for a 'Yank' with more than three decades of actual combat experience with real live enemies. Hate to burst your bubble sport but NOBODY has the market cornered . Again I consider you the typical traditionalist, elitist snob who looks down their nose at anything or anyone different than themselves. You have NO idea what the Martial Way is all about!
You fit these descriptions on so many levels.

How to Spot a Virtual Tough Guy
This article was published in The Electronic Journal of Martial Arts and Sciences.
Unfortunately, self-defense and the martial arts attract a particular breed of fraud in vast and limitless numbers: the Virtual Tough Guy (VTG). The VTG is often quite young, but not necessarily so. He may or may not have useful information to share. What is important to the VTG, however, is that you be impressed with how very cool he is. More tenacious than a mall ninja, more impervious to reality than a mail-order black belt, the VTG needs you to acknowledge what a badass he is. He uses a variety of intellectually dishonest tools to accomplish this, among them vague claims to unverifiable training, crude reverse psychology, and the judicious application of bootlicking. Fortunately, the average Web denizen can learn to spot the VTG's warning signs, and take with his or her posts the appropriate number of grains of salt.
Its Only a Flesh Wound
Your average VTG has been there and done that, man. He's been shot, he's been stabbed, he's been cut. He's won countless fights and lost a few, too

As stated before, the USADR was in existance long before I every came in contact with them. The do not promote, they recognize Dan ranks given proper credentials. AND they cut through the political, discriminatory BS that you have been spewing the last couple of days.
Yeah, over the Internet, I can see how actually grading in front of a teacher would be a major inconvenience.

So no, my 'friends' didn't GIVE me anything except earned respect. The organizations I belong to are legitimate. NO 'dan' factories anywhere in sight despite your arrogant presumptions.
The fact that you sell dan ranks over the Internet is proof enough.

Well one thing is for sure I don't promote people over the internet like this Zhao Dai Wei and his pals do.
I have never promoted anyone over the internet.
I already proved that you are connected to it.

Do you have a volume discount? I might be interested in picking 5 or 6 Soke-doke ranks.
Another sparkling example of your character....
Its a legit question.

If you are truly in the Martial Arts, I pity you. From your racist and arrogant remarks you are brain-washed into thinking YOUR style is the only one on the planet and all others don't exist. You have limited yourself from many learning opportunities and fellowships. Your arrogance will be your undoing son. You think that just because something is new and/or different it is not valid. This is very narrow-minded and not indicative of a TRUE Martial Artist! A true Martial Artist constantly strives to learn and experience and is not afraid of that which is different. This is how we grow in experience.
I dont think I have ever stated or even implied once on the Internet or this forum that my style was the end all beat all to MA. Youre trying to put words in my mouth.
Phil's Field Guide to Trolls
An Analysis of Forum Fauna
n Contrarian Troll Warning Sign Number One: The most important indicator of a poster's Contrarian Troll status is his constant use of subtle and not-so-subtle insults, a technique intended to make people angry. Contrarians will resist the urge to be insulting at first, but as their post count increases, they become more and more abusive of those with whom they disagree. Most often they initiate the insults in the course of what has been a civil, if heated, debate to that point.
n Contrarian Warning Sign Number Five: Attempts to condescend. Pursued by Troll Bashers (see Natural Predators below), the Contrarian will seek refuge in condescending remarks that repeatedly scorn his or her critics as beneath notice -- all the while continuing to respond to them.
The Sophist Troll. Sophist Trolls, or "philotrolls," fancy themselves Enlightened Philosophers or Learned Experts of the highest order. Often well educated, Philotrolls are capable of speaking intelligently on a number of topics, and when the spirit moves them they can be worthwhile forum participants. Unfortunately, Sophist Trolls are an extremely hostile and intolerant species.
When confronted by opinions with which they do not agree -- particularly when they do not see any means of successfully arguing their contrary views -- Sophists resort (repeatedly) to a variety of intellectually dishonest tactics. Most often, this is characterized by an overly snide, condescending, patronizing attitude. Philotrolls consider anyone with whom they do not agree to be "immature," and are fond of quoting that old saw that "A little knowledge is a dangerous thing."

You seem to want to approval by someone since you keep responding with long-winded posts.
