Our Site will be going through a major change, we would love articles and stories from other Martial Art Masters, so we can feature your style, You, and your school.  Please contact us.  We are a non-profit and not into politics.  We will do a back ground on everyone, because the truth of the person and ability is important for our organization and for the public.

Examples of Right and Wrong

•   Some people claim they have rank and then they should have the knowledge that is certified.  The Public believes in many instructors, who make claims, and later find out they have never had training they claim or any knowledge of the style the got Rank.  Some do not even know what the style they claim mean, or the theories, concepts, idea, founder, and most important any movements at all.

•   Grand Master McLeod shows dates of each of his promotions and the Grand Master who promoted him, so that the instructor can call him and tell him not to use their names, but more important that the public knows the truth.

•  He is considered a Weapons expert, started shooting guns at the age of 8, then went to one of the top military academy for officer training in the nation and was on the shooting team, Army and Navy Academy in California.  He continue his training and was qualified in a California Guard Course in 1985 in a college course taught by the Santa Cruz Police Training officer.  Mr. McLeod taught many Santa Cruz Police officers in the 70's, and 80's, including Rick Bartle one of the top Captains, and even training officers, in Self-defense and how to disarm attackers with Guns, Knives, and other weapons.  He also taught many police officers in Hawaii, including the "Top Cop" in the 2002, who had became a master in Yen Ch'ing Tao after over ten years of training.  Also another excellent officer Bill Metlton in advance disarming Guns and Knives, who has been promoted recently to a First Degree Black Belt, because of his years of Training in Yen Ch'ing Tao, but also for extreme public service and learning advance Weapons techniques.  Grand Master McLeod gave him and other police officers a key to his school in Maui, Hawaii, and always found Bill Melton there working out, sometimes by himself, or with other officers.  I am very proud of him, and he has a great insight in self-defense, but is a hand gun expert.

•   I consider my self a weapons expert, after studding from three Master of Weapons, Tadashi Yamashita who learned and taught over 30 weapons, and fought in tournaments in Japan with weapons.  He was the highest Rank; 7th Degree Black Belt in Japan's History for his age.  He was and is a true weapons Master, which takes, as he said takes about 30 years.  Also I studied many weapons from Great Grand Master Tadashi Yamashita, such as, Samurai Sword, and the Tonfas (Side Handle Baton), Staff, Nunchuka, and a few others, and I was very lucky to learn from this true Master of Weapons. Grand Master McLeod also studied about 15 other weapons from Great Grand Master Sifu Wing Lam from China, a true Weapons Master who knows over 50 weapons, and studied and taught since the age of 7.  Some of the Weapons  learned, was several styles of staff-both Southern and Northern Kung Fu, Several types of Spears, Several Swords -Dragon Head Double Edge sword as in Crouching Tiger and Hidden Dragon, Darn Do a single Edge sword,  studied several types and methods of single edge sword), Dragon Head Cane- a Master Weapon- which you had to wait five years to learn because of the other weapons that had to be learned first, Kwon Do Seven foot Sword, Three Sectional Staff, Daggers, Chinese Chain Whip- Southern and Northern and many more, over the 30 years off and on , but ten years he went two to three days a week of training.  We trained until we dropped.  And if you forgot a move, or could not execute it properly you would not get another lesson, until you knew it. The Parker Knife from Great Grand Master Ed Parker, one of the world's top knife fighter.  He now concentrates on semi-auto hand guns, and practice several times a week, and has a CCW- a concealed weapon's permit, and not was told by a rank master recently he is an expert shooter, trying to be a master shooter, and the best way to prove that level is completion, and lots of practice.  He is now a body guard, for a company for NFL Players, Part-Time. A few other Weapons, short sticks, double sticks, and most important environmental weapons.

  Many people claim to be weapons experts, by knowing one or two weapons, I consider after 40 years of weapon training I consider myself only as a weapon expert, and will never miss-lead the public or lie to get clients, and I was offered to teach high level clients recently to shoot, using martial arts skills, which means you become part of the weapon, your body, mind, and using the inter-spirit.

  There are many people who are a weapon master or expert in one weapon, but when they claim Weapons Master, that means at least 15 weapons with 25 to 35 years of practice, teaching, and learning from a true Weapons Masters.  Other than that, they are committing Fraud, and using the public to make money, and they can be sued, and if you are injured, you can sue them for everything they own.  Make sure they have certificates, and in Hand Guns, ask how many contests they entered and who taught them.  YOU CANNOT TEACH YOUR SELF, ESPECIALLY IN WEAPONS, SUCH AS A WEAPON THAT SEEMS TO BE A SIMPLE WEAPON SUCH AS A CANE.  BUT A TRUE WEAPONS MASTERS, KNOWS THIS WEAPON OR OTHERS FOR AT LEAST 15 YEARS.  IF YOU READ OUR SITE, YOU SAW WE STARTED TEACHING MANY TYPES OF CANE METHODS, STREET CANE, KENPO CANE, AND CANES FOR SENIORS FOR OVER TEN YEARS, WITH OVER 15 YEARS OF PRIOR KNOWLEDGE.

YOUR LIFE IS IN THE HANDS OF THE PEOPLE YOU TRUST, AND IF THEY MAKE FALSE CLAIMS, THEY SHOULD HAVE LAWSUITS AGAINST THEM, AND IF YOU NEED MY HELP, I WILL BE AN EXPERT WITNESS, I AM TIRED OF PEOPLE TEACHING ONLY FOR MONEY AND LYING ABOUT THEIR STAFF AND MAKING FALSE CLAIMS.
