With over 24 years experience in various martial arts,
I consider myself a student of martial art.
As a martial artist I realized that the most important thing
is attitude.
You have so much hate and animosity that is eating you alive.
You are speaking about a teacher who has accomplished great things and
Who has many followers some of whom has been with him for as long as
He has been in this country.
It happens to be that I have known Master Safakhoo for over 25 years…all the way back to when he couldn’t even speak English. I’ve taken his class; my children are taking his class and I have recommended everyone I’ve met to take his class because he is a man and a teacher with integrity.
He has students that have been with him for over 20 years… THAT speaks louder than
You can scream.
About you.
You very cowardly hide you identity yet unintentionally reveal yourself through your ignorance.
Over the years I have witnessed many times Safakhoo dismissing students with bad attitudes. I suspect that you are one of them.
If I’m not mistaken, judging by your family description you are a short, chain-smoking, Afro-American man named Henry
Who was expelled from the Academy.
If you are Henry, I remember many things about you and you probably remember me too. I am Greg.
I remember that none of the women liked you because you were creepy and that my mother had no respect for you after your wife confided in her that you were physically abusive to her and your children.
When my Father heard about it he wanted to take matters into his own hands luckily before this happened you were dismissed.
One thing I can say about you is that you obviously haven’t changed. You still give yourself a lot of unearned credit and you still carry bitterness and ignorance with you.
Your stories only convince bored and shallow people.
Master Safakhoo is a teacher. People want to learn from him. His life is an open book and he has nothing to hide.
It doesn’t matter what stories you make up about toa T.O.A.S. –Nabard-Iran-China-America…what is the point?
People are not as stupid as you apparently assume.
Master Safakhoo has more to offer than most. He has worked hard to be a man and teacher of integrity and has built a solid reputation. He has devoted his LIFE to creating a style through which mankind can grow. What have you done?
Move on Henry/Cheech. You never were anything and you never will be until you change your attitude…THAT is the first lesson of a martial artist.

Yes, I'm Henry, and no I'm not hiding my identity at all. I'm not sure why you think I was showing Safakhoo disrespect. The point of the thread, if I'm not mistaken, was if TOAS NABARD was a Persian martial art..Which I was addressing, nothing more. If you would like to discuss whatever issues you have w/ me, that's fine, but it's probably better suited to PMs.
No, I was never kicked out. If you'd like to discuss the specifics of why I left, then I will. However, in respect to Safakhoo, you might want to use a PM. As far as your assertion that I was physically abusive to my family, you're talking out of your ass.
Believe it or not, I always recommend Safakhoos school, and have never disrespected him.
Your assertion that the women thought I was creepy, may or may not be true. As far as I know I never did anything to get that reputation. During the time I was there, there weren't many females at all, and I always treated everyone the same. In fact Safakhoo normally had me help the females because he knew I would be patient w/ them and there was no chance I'd hurt them.
AFAIK the females I was around, Tia, Tia's mother, Sherry, Scotts girlfriend (I don't remember her name), were the only females that were there for any length of time, always interacted in a friendly, polite, and entirely appropriate manner. In fact Scotts girlfriend asked me to work w/ her sparring after hours. When I told my wife about it, and she objected to me being alone w/ a young women, I stopped the sessions.
As far as unearned credit, I don't have a clue what you're talking about. I'd always presented myself as an intermediate student.
Additionally, I periodically check in w/ Safakhoo, and we still seem to have a friendly relationship
AFAIK.
Sorry, the name Greg rings no bells. But yes, I'm a short thin person of african american/japanese descent, but no longer chain smoking.
If you'd like to discuss your issues in a public forum, I'm up for that too. I don't have anything to hide.
