Bret Gordon’s stupidity like his lying mouth knows no bounds. At this point, he would be better admitting he just made up Yousucka Whackmeoff or whatever the fuck this imaginary instructor's name is. Gordon shouldn't have purposely lied about me in a attempt to defame and slander me when he offers up such total bullshit about his background.
A picture of someone standing or sitting with some dude in blue jeans and a tee shirt doesn't make the dude a martial artist much less an instructor. A group picture with someone at a seminar doesn't make one a student. Going to 10 seminars taught by the same instructor doesn't make you that instructor's student. It certainly isnt representative of formally training with an instructor.
Very Dubious, obviously exaggerated and unverifiable claims just brings more scrutiny. There is no fabrication you can come up with to get around it.
Forget the word salad of making connections that aren't really there. Gordon has been called out about by different groups of martial artists....simply because he has no formal training in 99 percent of what he has claimed to have a rank in. The ONLY verifiable training Gordon seems to have had has been a kiddie Jr black belt. Then daddy bought him a 4th degree black belt from an organization known to sell black belt ranks to a monkey, a dog and a few other farm animals...if you had the money to pay them.
At the end of the day presenting a certificate out of the blue with no real formal training is worthless be it from a rank mill or a legitimate organization.
The only thing worse is Gordon's own videos which offer zero proof of any real skill whatsoever. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/6Njqj2503eY
I would think that you would have to actually know judo and aiki and be able to throw someone bigger than you or at least your size, not someone you outweigh by 150 lbs. Throwing someone is a whole biomechanical process. Moving with someone, a kid, who isnt half your size isn't something to be proud of or attempt to showcase much less put up on YouTube. I would be embarrassed to get a small person to do judo on in class much less video something like this. I typically get people my size or bigger......but I'm a judoka.....Gordon however, doesn't have the judo skill set of a white belt judoka.
In the video Gordon could not have made himself look worse. He broke his own posture just to get a grip on a much smaller person. He was leaning forward, standing stiff legged and way to high. When he reached in to get his grip he was so far extended that he was bending over at the waist and his head was out in front of his feet. A real Judoka would have busted Gordon's fat ass. Judo white belts know better than to break their posture like that.
No wonder he wont randori or scrimmage against yours truly.
A video of him with someone much much smaller than he is, made in haste and desperation trying to safe face and prove something.
As far as Uki otoshi? Didnt see it. What I saw a guy hit Gordon with a trip Gordon stumbled and pulled the guy. who looks to be a teenager down to the mat which any three hundred pound, shit ass could do to someone who might weigh 150 pounds. That requires all the skill of his 300 lb ass accidently falling on the little dude.
Bret out weighs me by almost hundred pounds but you don't see him looking in my direction to get the mats with.
As far as this Aiki skillset, yeah the one he supposed got from Yasasucka Whackmeoff.... the Kodokai has spoken about that....no such person. Gordon has spent years claiming a dubious connection to daito ryu and the kodokai. He has presented endless theories and speculation. He has never offered any real proof of any of his claims. Gordon doesn't have any proof to offer. Today people ask for proof and that is not a crime. When you cant prove your claims. It is not defamation or slander for someone to say you're not legitimate.
Gordons aiki for judo video contains no proof of anything other than Gordon doesn't understand the fundamental principles of grip fighting, kuzushi, entering in for a throw or throwing.
It would behoove Gordon just to admit he picked up some techniques here and there from a handful of people that he really didnt train with, and based on that is trying to make up a system. Treat it like boxing or wrestling, offer no ranking in it and then shut his fucking meat sucker.
