OK, so one night I was teaching class and a guy walked in my dojang, I walked up to him smiled and bowed, then extented my hand, introduced myself and said how can I help you Sir? He said his name and then......said he was a Master of Ninjitsu, looking to train some where and quite possibly wanted to know if he could teach at my school. I asked some basic questions like, do you know who Dr. Hatsumi is? (not sure on the spelling) I am a TKDist and i have a basic understanding of the Doctor.
He did not! We had been working on wrist locks at the end of class. He kept insisting he would like to demonstate some.....On me, I said, "absolutley not...I don't know you." He was about thirtyfive years old, did I mention he brought his mom in with him? Because this is where its gets interesting! None of my students would allow him to demonstrate. so his mom (who was in her late fifties) steped up-so he could "demonstrate" she threw a hap-hazard swing at him, he evaded and put her into a really sweet looking "Key lock sort of move" Well, he sinched it in...and POP! Yes, he popped his mom's shoulder out of socket. she yelled out in pain, and he said, (I am not kidding you) "mom, let me nerve punch it back in place"
My black belts looked at me just like that! Here it is again,
By the way that was the way she looked at him after the dislocation!
It was apparent he was a fake. But he came in for a couple of nights to try class, and kept asking what belt I would start him out with. I kept telling him, ah....white. The last night he came to class I ask he hold the body shield for my chief instructor and myself. He agreed, and we took turns slamming arc kicks in to the body shield. On my first kick it displaced his body a few feet backwards. :lfao: The look on his face was priceless Needless to say, after that night he never came back. I have had a few other people come in a say they were a black belt in "whatever" and they didn't know squat. Any similar stories? I would love to hear them. I glad I had the forsight NOT to let him apply a Lock to me.
Live Long and Prosper
