My Mentor Says... ( Bullshido.com)
"Let me give you a good example of why I do not like cults or sects in the martial arts" -pg 60
"To be bound by traditional martial art style or styles is the way of the mindless, enslaved martial artist, but to be inspired by the traditional martial art and to achieve further heights is the way of genius" -pg 61
"The trouble is that circumstances must dictate what you must do. But too many people are looking at 'what is' from a position of thinking 'what should be'. "-pg 63
"Method, which in it's very substance is ignorance, encloses it within a vicious circle. We should break such circles not by seeking knowledge, but by discovering the cause of ignorance." -pg 390
Jungar: From what sect do you come?
Cord: From myself
Jungar: What is your acknowledged style of fighting?
Cord: My style. -pg 327
"So I hope my fellow martial artists would open up and be transparently real, and I wish them well in their own process of finding their cause. -pg 392
Excerpts from Bruce Lee-Jeet Kune Do: Bruce Lee's commentary on the martial way
"Walk on." pg 392
"Walk on home boy!!!"
-Pantera - from the album "Vulgar Display of Power.
No one said you DIDN'T train with Mestre Pele, or that you don't know Jay Flowers. What we have issue with is your presentation. None of the law-enforcement agencies you referenced have any record of you as an instructor. You probably unofficially worked with these people. I used to train with two marines...that doesn't mean that I can say, "I train the US marines."
The truth is, (by your own admission) you have less training than the average 12-year-old TKD black belt. You can obviously kick high, and you obviously have a very high opinion of your own skills and your personal intellectual development. What you have failed to do is convince a group of individuals knowledgable of the subject you profess to be expert in that you are in fact anything more than a garden-variety dilletante in that regard. I have asked politely for you to clarify exactly what it is that makes you a grandmaster. Your response has been bad poetry, pathos-laden allegory, and unverifiable anecdotal evidence.
You display many of the classic traits of a martial arts romantic who wants the skills without the work. Have you won any competitions? Hold any titles? Defeated hordes of ninja? What have you really done? Fighting your drunk father, while an inspiring story, doesn't exactly mean anything. I was bouncer, and I have fought with dozens of drunk people. They are easy to control and victory is a relatively simple thing if you know what you are doing. The fact that you list this as an accomplishment is indicative of your lack of knowledge on the subject.
I suggest you attend the next throwdown in your area, and allow us to see if you are as good as you claim to be. You may be an extremely competent fighter, and if you are you deserve respect as such. But you sound like a teenager with a Bruce Lee hard-on eveery time you speak.
If I am wrong, than it should be a simple thing for you to prove it. __________________
