It has been brought to my attention that there are several senior instructors in other organisations that claim to have been my students at one time or another in the past, either in this country or elsewhere. While, in the vast majority of cases, this might be true, they also seem to be (shall we say?) “exagerating the truth” somewhat.
For example: People saying that they trained with me years before they actually did, that I awarded them certain qualifications that I did not, and even saying that I trained them intensively in a number of warrior arts, when they had only been on the mat with me on about a half dozen occasions!
Because they mention me, and make these claims, it is very possible that the person reading this post has visited this website in an attempt to learn more. If so, then please feel free to contact me and I will do my utmost to clarify the situation for you. Needless to say: Your enquiries will be treated in the strictest of confidence.
In the meantime, I would strongly advise the people making these claims to revise what they are saying in order to avoid any possible embarrassment.
Many thanks
