Actually, I'm interested in the answer to this question myself Rick.

And, no, you won't get a poll done on you......

Dave started this thread, and his point was taken and peace made. Robert is no longer here. I truly believe this thread should be locked now, and we should move on.

I read that too, he asked why you use Japanese style of attacking in a philapine martial art.
You have to admit it seems kind of odd, but I don't care what you teach.

First off whats posted on this board for all to see is different than an e-mail or private message.

There were only a chosen few people whom he thought were not fakes.

I have been a member on this board long enough to see quite a few people leave do to the not so friendly manner of wich some did business here RSK being one, but I have yet to see one person who he has attached leave.

I feel that RSK has alot to offer to this board, he just had a bad approach on his "fraud busting campaign" not to say wether those he attached were or were not frauds, there is always a better way to skin a cat.

Last but not least he is not here right now to defend himself and I for one think that D.COBB was wrong to bring up this subject AGAIN without at least having him here to defend himself.

People use the same tactics over and over again.

He never went on a quest. The incident with you and your instructor, THEY MADE THE CLAIM, and he followed up. He doesn't spend his spare time hunting people down by checking everyone's information and so on. If they made an outlandish claim, like you have, he followed up on it. I'm a bit more familiar with and have more connections in TKD, while he had all the information at hand to him with anything Japanese or Okinawan. And yeah, the pen-and-paper certificate that you've been fooled to getting by another TKD man was not even done by a Korean, the handwriting was like an imitation of hangul, kinda how one starts out when making a switching between writing a Latin-based language with a foreign character-based writing system. If you want more information, you can e-mail me.

Martial Artist,

DAC may have received worthless certificates from a former instructor, but his skill is sound. That is the paramount point. And we are ensuring that he receives the due recognition he has EARNED.

And I have ranked him appropriately in ARK based on his MA training, his experience, his LEO background and his teaching ability. He has used these skills in the lawful performance of his duties. That is the highest 'recognition'...going home at end of the shift as you came in.

This is why I am confused.
You call it ranks wall candy and then say something like that.

You rank someone but then say it is wall candy.
I think it's strange you rank them for something you think is not important. This means their rank is not important so why do it.

Maybe this is why some people can't respect what you say.
First you say one thing and then different. It makes people think you are a liar if you do this.

I have read your articles and see you talk about rank most of the time, this is also strange.

Don't understand why you'd be having any difficulty here....

'I' do consider rank as wall candy, interesting you would mention that particular phrase which I've used in the past...but not in the quote you posted. Anyhoo the post was in reference to someone else.

I think it's strange you rank them for something you think is not important. This means their rank is not important so why do it.

Just because it is usually unimportant to me doesn't mean it is unimportant to them. I have to respect the consideration of my students. And I can tell you that DAC DOESN'T particuarly care about rank, but as he is an Instructor, many students expect to see credentials in addition to his skill. And I think they should, and Instructor needs to be checked out.

Unfortunately most MA's NEED to air their rank for validation. Case in point, I see you have listed yours in your bio. Nothing wrong with this in and of itself I suppose. I personally don't see why unless a person is trying to validate a certain point. To each his own. I don't care about rank and I down play it as often as possible. I feel skill, REAL skill is what matters. That doesn't mean dojo experience or tourny's but the ability to defeat a violent criminal in order to go home to one's loved ones.

But there are those that need organizations to recognize them to feel they have achieved something. I feel people should train to win not compete or gat promoted etc. But we are all different in our views.

Maybe this is why some people can't respect what you say.

Maybe comments such as this is why you were suspect from day one here And why would I be concerned about these 'few' folks anyway? Those same folks see only what they want to see most of the time anyway...

I've enjoyed this, what to continue?
