MASIsshinryu Posted March 29, 2005 Posted March 29, 2005 Reportedly, there is a group of Ex-SEALs who track down people who claim to also be Ex-SEALs, attempt to verify their status through military records, then go "have a talk with" those people who are falsely making such claims.It's a shame that there is no way to adequately catalog people with respectable Martial Arts training, as a way of verifying some of the claims in our arts. As stated previously, these things are such a hinderance to the growth of the Martial Arts, and the level of respect and dignity which good instructors and students deserve.

vertigo Posted March 29, 2005 Posted March 29, 2005 One of his buyers left feedback that said "Now I am a SUPREME GRAND MASTER in 15 different styles! Ha! (evil grin)" :roll: I'm sure..... I think I'll probably take the slow route Finally! Just what I was looking for.No kidding! Might as well start at the top, right? And to think, I coulda just skipped all the stuff in between, like learning, fitness, honor, integrity, and all that junk.. :lol: (Kidding! ) "Only those who will risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go." - T.

scottnshelly Posted March 30, 2005 Posted March 30, 2005 I'm not too familiar with the E-bay thing. Can you contact a person selling something? if so, give me that guy's e-mail address. I have a few questions...
cathal Posted March 30, 2005 Posted March 30, 2005 Actually I think it is possible to contact them. Their eBay profile may have their contact information. I suggest you go look it up. .The best victory is when the opponent surrendersof its own accord before there are any actualhostilities...It is best to win without fighting.- Sun-tzu
