Well I thought I had done my last article on the likes of Bret Gordon but it appears more claims of his have since been debunked. Gordon's claims are the gift that keeps on giving. But this will indeed be the last word on Gordon.......
Every word Gordon wrote about me and my instructors online has been nothing more than lies...every word. All written intentionally for the sole purpose to slander and defame me and my instructors. Gordon, along with others also harassed and doxxed a student of mine and 13 year old threatened his daughter. He even tried to reach out to one of my Judo instructors for a promotion in judo.
I hope this has long lasting effect on him and those around him. I hope my name haunts him for the rest of his life.
I was watching a Charles Bronson movie called Death Hunt
over the week end. In the movie there was a character referred to as Buffalo
woman. Buffalo woman was a short fat homely woman who took care of a small unit of Royal
Canadian Mounties. She cooked and cleaned the bunkhouse, and would keep the
men warm during those lonely cold Canadian nights and of course the men, in particularly
Sundog Brown, would break him off a piece of and rock Buffalo woman's fat juicy ass, all night long, when the need
arose.
At all of 5' 5" short and a soft and mushy 300lbs, rocking a set of titties that need the support of a D size bra, Gordon became my bitch the second he ran his lying meat sucker and defamed me and my instructors. Gordon's lies and attempted defamation and slander of me has truly indeed backfired and blown up in his face. Gordon's own embellishments and lies expertly maneuvered him to the place he is now......bitch.
Gordon has admitted on his blog that his troubles in the martial arts community started when he wrote his defamatory article about me. Every single one of his own claims have been exposed as out right 8 year old fantasy and childlike fabrication.
In 2018, Gordon claimed to have Black belt rank in daitoryu aiki jutsu.
"Beginning his martial arts journey at the age of 4, Kaiso Bret Gordon has studied and attained Dan ranking in numerous martial arts disciplines (including Daito Ryu Aiki Jujutsu, Goju-Ryu Karatedo, Kempo Jujutsu, Taekwondo among others.)” https://web.archive.org/web/20180702025205/http://www.triomartialarts.com/sensei-bret-gordon.html
I wont get into what I think of kiddie black belt ranks but Gordon has made aikijujutsu claims for almost ten years. The back story on his aikijujutsu has changed multiple times over those years. Supposedly, at some point, the Daito Ryu stuff was passed through someone named Sirbaugh before Sirbaugh it might have been someone named J. Paul. Paul and Sirbaugh have disappeared and the back story has changed more since.
Somewhere among his claims was a 10th soke of a
system that was supposedly concocted by a mysterious dude who was playing a
dude disguised as another dude, who changed his name to a Japanese sounding
name that isn't a real Japanese name. He may or may not have been Japanese because
Gordon isn’t allowed to say. This mysterious dude developed his system which is Daito Ryu because he trained in it under a direct descendant of Daito Ryu but is actually
not Daito Ryu, because he changed his name years ago and what he handed down was different from Daito Ryu.
Gordon posted up a disclaimer that his history is accurate but its subject to change because he, a self proclaimed living historian, who didn’t graduate high school, knows everything about the martial arts but doesn’t know alot about the history of his own system. However he reserves the right to take certain liberties with the history until it he has to change it…..for any reason. But don’t worry the changes are indeed correct because everything was correct when he originally wrote it.... but it had to be changed....because it was debunked, but it is now the truth....but as it stands....there is chance it could be changed again....because there is no need to prove or verify his "evidence" to anyone....not even to a court of law....which makes it the truth. Because it cant be proven to be false until it is. So he cant be held accountable for any of the changes he makes up when he is debunked.....because every word is true....because you have his word....but its subject to change.....because.....you know.......detractors!
The absurdity of Gordon's claims is enough to make your head hurt....His own inability to keep his mouth shut has made Gordon the biggest joke in the martial arts community.
At some point after his 2018 Daito Ryu Dan black belt rank claim....it disappeared. Later in 2022 Gordon in one of his articles changed his story and claimed he never claimed rank in daitoryu https://web.archive.org/web/20221116184117/http://www.join-usama.com/blog/bret-gordon-is-not
His 10th soke claims disappeared.
However, his Daito ryu but not Daito Ryu back story appears to be something that is ever evolving. Starting with a mysterious Japanese dude, whose name has changed a couple of times and who may or may not be Japanese, handing this system that is related Daito Ryu but not, over to a step daddy. Then the story changed to a grand daddy and now it's apparently changed again to a step grand daddy.
It's all a proverbial and purposeful word salad of unverified claims from a fat middle aged white guy with bitch tits cosplaying as Japanese, sprinkled with a combination of Walter Mitty fantasy, a need to be a big shot and a mental 8 year old’s Japanese anime fueled imagination. All this from a guy with a menial job as a night time warehouse security guard who beats off to plastic covered martial arts rank certs and martial arts magazines.
So, to quote Shakespeare .......
To Daito Ryu or not to Daito Ryu? That is the question.....
Enter the Kodokai
Well, my dear fat womanly fair Horatio....What the fuck?
Gordon's claims and back story had become so outlandish and absurd over the years that the Daito Ryu Aikijujutsu Kodokai finally had to release a statement on the matter.
The Daito-Ryu Aikijujutsu Kodokai is a branch of the traditional Japanese martial art Daito-Ryu Aiki-jujutsu. The Kodokai lineage stems from Horikawa Kodo, one of the notable disciples of Takeda Sokaku, who was instrumental in preserving and spreading the art.
The North American Headquarters of Daito-Ryu Aikijujutsu Kodokai, established in the early 1970s in San Luis Obispo, California, is the oldest Daito-Ryu organization in the United States. The Kodokai branches are responsible for maintaining the integrity and authenticity of Daito-Ryu Aikijujutsu.
The Kodokai provides as well as keeps meticulous records of the direct links to the teachings passed down through generations in Japan......
"There is no connection between Bret Gordon and the Daito ryu Aikijujutsu Kodokai organization either here in the USA or in Japan. Any claims he is making regarding such a connection are entirely false.
The Daito ryu Aikijujutsu Kodokai organization keeps strict records of it's members. There is and has never been a "Hasaka Yutashi" who trained in the Kodokai organization either here in the USA or in Japan. There is no basis for him to claim that his organization is based on or connected with the Kodokai in any way shape or form, much like the claim he mentions about Yoshinkan aikido.
Furthermore, Gordon should should specifically state that his organization has no historical ties, lineage or affiliation with the Daito ryu Aikijujutsu Kodokai organization. Additionally the individual depicted in the photograph included in his book has never held any rank or title within the Daito ryu Aikijujutsu Kodokai organization in either the USA or Japan.
I hope this clarification is helpful. Please feel free to rreach if any further information is needed."
