The extent of which Gordon lied about me over the years had no bounds. Gordon made multiple claims that my Judo instructors were fake people, nonexistent people, besmirched and admonished those who promoted me over the years. GORDON told a grossly exaggerated lie out of pure jealousy (over the fact my program and school is successful) and a pure hatred he has against competent, accomplished martial artists.
I want to make this absolutely clear,,,,, Gordon lied about me and my background from the jump. Nothing Gordon has EVER written about me or my back ground was even remotely correct at any time! His original article was full of lies and every article he has written about me since. CLICK HERE
When faced with my back ground all Gordon could do was double and triple down on his lies and lie even more about it. He certainly wont repeat his lies and bullshit to my face. He isnt man enough to. He is only forty minutes away, he wont randori or attend a open scrimmage to get on the mats with me. He would crap in his pants if I showed up at his place.
In an article he wrote months ago he claimed that there are "gapping holes in my judo back ground". This article sheds more light on the extent that Gordon's lied and went to in his attempt to cover up the actual truth and the facts about my back ground. All my info and certs were up online for all to see and Gordon blatantly lied about it. LIED ABOUT ALL OF IT!
My formal training in judo started with my instructor who was forthcoming from the jump that it would take, at least, seven years to attain black belt. He only tested once a year. It was a indeed a 7 year journey after which I was awarded my shodan. This is 2 to 3 times longer than what is required today in all the Judo orgs.
But Gordon wrote that there were "GAPING HOLES IN MY BACK GROUND."
I was a shodan for 12 years, during this time I was teaching judo, competing and going to camps and coaches clinics. Time in grade for a shodan to be promoted to nidan is 3 years but I had 12 years Time in Grade (TIG)...4 times more than what was required by ALL the Judo orgs.
12 years is the amount of time it takes to go from 1st degree to 3rd degree in all judo orgs. Total time from my white belt to my nidan was 19 years.
But Gordon wrote that there were "GAPING HOLES IN MY BACK GROUND."
I was a 2nd degree black belt (nidan) for 8 years. During that 8 years I was still active in judo, teaching and going to coaching clinics and camps. Time in grade for nidan to be promoted to sandan is 4 years. I had 8 years time in grade, twice the amount required by all judo orgs.
But Gordon wrote that there were "GAPING HOLES IN MY BACK GROUND."
My total total time from white to sandan/3rd degree black - 27 years.
At this time Steve Scott, H.G. Robby Robinson and Patrick Burris recognized that the Judo organization's had ALL grossly IGNORED and OVERLOOKED a lot of my years in judo. I had been active in judo for almost 30 years and was still a nidan.
But Gordon wrote that there were "GAPING HOLES IN MY BACK GROUND."
I was a 3rd degree black belt for 4 years before being promoted to 4th degree BB. Time in grade for a 3rd dan to be promoted to 4th dan is 4 years. I had 4 years TIG.
It takes approximately 20 years of being active in judo to go from shodan to godan (5th degree BB). I had TWENTY TWO years from 1st degree black belt to the time I got promoted to 3rd degree (Sandan). When I got my 4th I had TWENTY SIX years. This isn't counting the 7 years I put in from white to 1st black. There were more than enough years for 5th dan (godan) and currently for a sixth dan (rokudan), a rank though I probably won't see for a few more years yet. My ranks were all earned and fought for through diligent study and training...not one was given. In addition I can certainly back up these years on the mats.
Gordon wrote that there were "GAPING HOLES IN MY BACK GROUND" because he is a liar. Gordon knew the extent of my background, the years I had in formal training and my dan ranks attained in judo, all my dated rank certs were online for all to see. Gordon purposefully and maliciously and repeatedly lied about it...all of it.....MULITPLE TIMES!!!
Lastly, Just a few months ago Gordon emailed one of my judo instructors asking my instructor to promote him. My instructor politely turned him down. Gordon found out that rank from my instructors isnt just given away. Gordon's email proves beyond a doubt that Gordon knew I was 100 percent legitimate and that my instructors and promotions were and he purposely lied to defame and slander me any way that he could.
END OF STORY!
