And since there is so much debate on if there was a 21st GGM, there can't be a 22nd anyway and the whole debate over who is the 22nd becomes irrelevant.Goldendragon7 said:There isn't one
Right, like I said.....Goldendragon7 said:There isn't one

I sometimes wonder why people debate over such silly designations. In the long run, what really matters is how effective you are as a teacher, martial artist, and the effectivness of what is being taught. Don't get me wrong, I do enjoy historical details, just wonder why anyone needs to have a "super duper special master" title to validate themselves and their system.
Anyways, I'll get off the soap box now. :soapbox:
Thanks Mr. Bishop for telling the truth about this character.John Bishop said:If you examine Mitose, you will find a man with a criminal record that goes back to the 40's.
If anyone ever proves that there was an event in Mitose's life where he was a truthful and honorable man, then we might be able to believe some of his other claims.
If memory serves, Thomas Young was officially Chow's instructor, although it was under the auspices of Mitose. As to why Chow went his own way- well, then as now, everyone wants to be the chief, no one wants to be the Indians.guito said:THANKS JOHN BISHOP AND KARAZENPO FOR THE HISTORY LESSON. WHAT ABOUT THE DAYS WHEN WILLIAM CHOW PRACTICE, WHO WAS THE INSTRUCTOR MITOSE OR THOMAS YUNG? WHY CHOW WHEN HIS OWN WAY?

Nope. I read someplace (the infamous someplace) that while Chow studied with Mitose, Thomas Young promoted Chow to Shodan. Since you have direct information, I'm obviously mistaken. Please expand on this topic, for the benefit of myself and other interested parties. Thanks in advance.John Bishop said:That's not what Thomas Young told me. Did he tell you something differant?
Posted on February 27, 2003 by John Bishop.Prof. Chow, although promoted to black belt by Thomas Young, was perhaps James Mitose top student. As the story goes, Mitose did not want to promote Chow because he was ruff and undisciplined, so he had Young promote him.
