Thanks for the reply. Isn't this act of money making dishonesty against all moral/ethical codes of Karate? I feel quite disgusted that I have been deceived into thinking highly of this chap, being that he is named as a 'Senior Instructor' for my area! I shall be looking for a new club with a reputable association immediately. Before I waste anymore money with this charlatan. Thank you again fro opening my eyes to this. Jacko
