Bret Gordon has spent the better part of 4 years trying to figure out some way to get over on me, from writing a defamatory article full of lies that he made up, to harassing a student of mine who lives in another state and his 13-year-old daughter. Gordon wont do anything to my face, he is just too much of a pussy.
Gordon did however, get himself in some hot water the Ohatchee Police dept. According to police Gordon targeted a student of mine, Randy and his 13 daughter because he held a deep hatred and jealousy for me. Gordon harassed and Doxed this family. Gordon has even had conversations with said authorities. Gordon admitted that he was involved. Despite being told by the police to quit posting about Randy and his daughter, Gordon continued to do so.
But don’t take my word for it contact the Ohatchee Police Department, 7801 Al-77, Ohatchee, AL 36271 Phone: (256) 892-3156 https://www.facebook.com/OhatcheePolice Gordon expects that I will forget about this and just let it go…but no that wont ever happen. Gordon and I are going to cross paths, he is an idiot if he thinks otherwise.
When it comes to Bret Gordon despite what I have written so far showing the extent that he lied about my background, it doesnt even begin to cover the entirety of the levels he went to. His original article can be found here-https://web.archive.org/web/20201204194651/http://www.join-usama.com/blog/pot-meet-kettle
In his article linked above Gordon starts with (I highlighted them in yellow because they are the words of a liar and a coward);
“In his bio on the Winter Haven Judo website, which is his school by the way, Barron specifically leaves out who his Judo instructors were. Doing some more research, the certificates below were posted on one of his numerous blog sites and I can't help but notice a few interesting traits. The most glaring is that his 2nd Dan certificate on the right is in Korean (and both feature the Korean eum-yang in the logo). Does that mean it's really Yudo and he has no right to claim Judo? Or can we admit they're the same thing... Moving on, both certificates are signed by "Terrell R. Tucker" and list "Hoong Woo Ro" as the founder of the Winter Haven Judo Club, which like I said is Barron's own school. If we are to believe everything we find (or can't find) on Google, neither of these two gentlemen ever existed. Probably the most glaring evidence that these men aren't real is that Tucker's signature seems to change drastically from 1998 to 2006.”
In the first sentence he claims I had left out who my instructors were….this is a lie. To the contrary there were posts that had been up for years before 2020 showing pictures of my instructor, my rank certificates and talking about my formal training in judo. https://winterhavenjudoclub.blogspot.com/2015/05/judo-tougher-than-rest.html
I want to point out that Gordon knew I was legit, he knew Terry Tucker was indeed real person but wrote the article anyway lying at every turn. Gordon wrote that my original judo instructor, Terry Tucker, was a fictitious non existent person and that I owned the Winter Haven Judo club and simply promoted myself using forged signatures of a nonexistent person(s). The information was and is found easily online by simply searching Winter Haven Judo club. http://winterhavenjudoclub.blogspot.com/2008/01/newspaper-article-on-judo-club.html
Gordon, purposely ignored the Winter Haven judo club's blog where there were pictures of myself and Mr. Tucker online in the 2008 blog post linked above in previous paragraph. Terry Tucker was clearly identified in the 1997 news article, that was in the post and shown to be my instructor and myself as his assistant instructor and a brown belt in judo (below).

Gordon saw the newspaper clippings of the Winter Haven Judo Club and who the program belonged to, but, Gordon chose to lie his ass off and defame me and my instructors anyway that he could.
Gordon has posted online more times than I can count that the mat was the only proving ground for someone’s legitimacy. He frequently challenged people to get on the mats with him online. But that came to an abrupt halt when it came to me.
Gordon was man enough to harass a student of mine and his 13 year little girl but……
Gordon was asked to scrimmage with me but he pussed out.
Gordon was told he could use any systems he wanted and I would stick strictly to judo…He pussed out of that too.
Gordon was then told I would get on the mats with both he and his instructor at the same time….he pussed out.
I am in my 60s and in shape Gordon is not in shape at all. Gordon doesn't miss a meal or a snack. He is grossly out of shape, overweight, unimpressive in stature and skill. He knows that I would embarrass him in a scrimmage under any circumstances. He knows he cant hang with the real deal.....me. He knows which one of us is the real man and martial artist. A judo scrimmage requires practical application of skills, Gordon doesn’t have any. He knows he would be grossly outmatched and exposed.

Over a year ago, Bret Gordon also claimed in an article about me that he won a defamation lawsuit: https://bretgordon.weebly.com/blog/pot-meet-kettle-barron-shepherd-part-2#/ In the very first sentence Gordon literally started the article off with the claim that he had won his lawsuit;
“I knew after we won our defamation suit, our trolls and haters would come back with a vengeance. When the truth isn't on their side, the only strategy left is to flood the search engines in order to bury it. I'll admit that I was a little shocked at who's leading the charge, but let's dive in...
The majority of the attacks against us came after I wrote an article in 2020 on Barron Shepherd, a local judo instructor and the first troll dumb enough to use their real name to lie about us.”
Now I will state here that I did take Gordon at his word about winning his lawsuit. Surely, he wouldn't be dumb enough to state that he won a case when he had not....... and he surely wouldnt stupid enough to start an article off with something that wasn't true. Well he did.
Despite Gordon’s insults, continued defamation of me and legal threats in the above linked article it didn’t hinder me from pointing to the extent that he purposely lied about my back ground.
I want this to be perfectly clear as long as there is a single word still up online written by Gordon about me and my student and his 13 year old daughter that Gordon harassed and doxed, I am going to point out to the most minute detail the extent that Bret Gordon took to lie about my background. Further action is going to take place and be taken.
Bottom line here is Gordon hasn’t won his lawsuit nor was it “buried” like he stated in the first sentences of his article in 2023. The status of the lawsuit and evidence presented in the filings are ALL a matter of public record and can found here; https://courtrecords.lakecountyclerk.org/
Click on case search at top of page and type in the case number 2020 - CA – 001851 and Bret Gordon’s name.
I sent the link and info to my attorney.
Looking at the files in the docket no proof has been offered by the plaintiff of actual defamation. A claim with no proof doesn’t and wont hold up in court. He can’t point to a single incident where he was actually defamed and has refused to answer filings made in the case or even offer proof of his own background.
Gordon would later write in another article that the filings made by the defendant aren’t official court documents. They were admitted into the court as evidence upon Plaintiff’s request and the defendants defense........That’s as official as it gets.
No efforts have been made by the plaintiff to disprove the filings made by the defendant. As it stands, no decision has been made. The plaintiff attorney dropped the deposition that they requested after the defendant decided to get an attorney to represent him.
I expect this law suit was filed solely to scare people off from asking any questions about his background and I expect Gordon will run from this lawsuit at this point. Regardless, it is obvious that nothing is as Gordon claims it to be.
