Phony Martial Arts Credentials

Should you trust a martial arts "master" or "expert" simply because he or she says so. Are you rally willing to take any claim, degree or fancy black belt diploma at face value? Do you realise how easy it is to make any old set of credentials sound, and look, legitimate?

I urge you to read this news article from Canadian thestar.com.

Among other things, it reveals how one well known martial arts expert, who counts the RCMP, the U.S. Navy Seals, CIA agents and police officers from across Ontario as students of his courses he has been teaching for years.

In 2003, he reportedly purchased a phony degree in "Political Science" for $1,340, paying for it with a credit card. This is according to the information compiled by the U.S Justice Department.
