I do not consider myself to be a humble person, and that is because I am self made. However, in training with Pro. David B. James, Shihan Mahelia Bethea, Pro. Talib Muhammad, Pro. Moses Powell and Professor Florendo Visitacion himself, in the Vee Arnis Jitsu system of Jiu Jitsu, I learned that practical application is the singular key to any martial art system's effectiveness. Unfortunately, I have had the occasion to apply these concepts in practical application, and they are superior in terms of application, ease of use, modification, and recovery from technique to any martial art system I have ever studied. And I can say that I have studied many. . . I am stating that to state that if one is just an afficionado, then studying some obscure, esoteric martial art form is fine. However, if you are in a career that requires world class proficiency in self defense, Jiu Jitsu in general and Vee Arnis Jitsu in particular is a superior art form that literally begs for study. There are many incarnations of the system Vee Jitsu Ryu, Vee Jitsu Tae, et cetera - but the last "authorized" revision is Vee Arnis Jitsu as taught by Professor David B. James, 10th Dan, at 25 Park Place, Manhattan, New York. This last revision contains the Phillipino stick fighting techniques that earlier proponents, or students, would not have been exposed to. If they claim they have been, there are clear tests that can expose them for the frauds or experts that they are. However, as an expert practitioner with a black belt certificate signed off on by Professor Vee himself, I can personally assure you that I know most, if not all, of the black belts certified in this particular style of the "famed" Vee Jitsu system of Jui Jitsu. Although I have chosen to pursue other endeavors, I have used the "concepts" taught me by Pro. Vee to earn a livelihood in some of the world's hotspots. The fact that I am here to talk about it is a persuasive testiment to the effectiveness of the system. Give Professor James a call @ 1.212.349.3131, and tell him that you were recommanded by Sensei Dennis. Good luck with your search.

It's not that I disagree with your assessment of the people you mentioned - I don't.
It's not that I disagree with your assessment of the Vee arts in general, or VAJ in particular - again, I don't.

But sheesh, man, you sound like a local used car TV ad salesman. Spouting off unbidden about your style is one thing, but going of about checking potential frauds? You gotta lay off the caffiene, friend...
