Animal Macyoung

[Bullseye]

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone on here has had any direct experience of Marc Macyoung?

I have read several of his books, and I think that he writes very well. He has an entertaining style. However I have read mixed reviews on him by people that have trained(or claimed to have trained) with him.

Specifically, I would like to know if anyone can verify, or support, Macyoung's claims about what he has done in the past, his experience.

Not asking because I want to rubbish Macyoung. I would just like more info if any is available.

Thanks.

Marc does not talk in detail about his nefarious exploits but he does run an elist from his No Nonsense site: look for the Animal E-List button upper right of the first page.

If we get to know you well enough and that leads to trust, there are three folks involved with that list who were there with him.

No proof, but who cares? What he does and thinks about and teaches now is the point. Join the list, visit a bbq and get to know him yourself...

I've a few reviews of some of his work on my review site, http://defendyourself101.ca, if you care to look.

Hello,

Thank you for the response. I looked at your sight, it's very interesting. I have looked at No nonsense Self Defence, and I remember reading one of your article there.

I am thinking about joining the Animal List. A BBQ would be out, as I don't live in the USA.

We have a Wushu champ from Belgium, a SWAT Team Leader from England, an Aikidoist (4th dan?) from Singapore and a number of Canadians show up regularly.

Save up and put it together with other interests and who knows???

Over the years I have associated with a few men that know Marc personally.

It seems safe to say he has a most outstanding reputation. He is the "real deal" as they say and a gentleman too. Among his peers he is a respected and qualified leader in the industry.

His website is on my short list of favorite (Internet) places...
