Ok guys, ya'll have done a wonderful job in the past of reading good/bad instructors. This guy is teaching in my area and I'm curious of what you think of him. Take a moment and check out his website. I have my opinions, but they've been biased by others. I'm curious to see a second/third opinion. Or if any of you have heard of him as he has made frequent visits to Japan. (not that that's any measure of skill.)

Let me know what you think...

Some things you can only know by going there and checking him out. However it is nice to have a couple higher ranking belts to help you out, and the price seems pretty reasonable at $50 a month for 7hrs worth of classes a week. It would be worth checking out for a couple months just to see if it suits you or not.

I've never personally heard of him. However, if it can be verified that he is a 10th dan in the Bujinkan, he should have plenty to teach you. His training philosophy falls in line with mine. As for his other qualifications in terms of other certifications he has, I would check them out also, (if those aspects of training are important to you. If they check out, I would say go for it. Every senior level instructor has a different spin on things. I'm sure he can teach you many useful things.

Hmm.. interesting. Thank you earnestly for your input. His credentials are indeed verifiable. I must admit, I am extremely curious to see what someone like Thai Bri or Jubaji would say about him. So guys, where are ya?
