Ok. My personal experience with a instructor that betrayed my trust left me with many questions about his claims, the history behind the art I learned and what I was going to do with the information once I had it. My research led me to libraries, magazines such as Black belt and interviewing the claims of the " Secret " arts advertised. These guys don't like to be questioned, so I got no where with that. This was before Google, so I gathered all kinds of magazine articles, most of this stuff is just an interview anyway, but it showed me that I was not the only one to be lied to. I since got rid of that stuff and for years moved on. Then internet search got much better and made it easier to archive, so here is one of the schools I looked into. Some of the techniques I learned my teacher claimed were from the black dragon set, which was an assassin art in china. So far the forms of black dragon in China that I have found do not claim to be exclusively for killing, and there is no link to any Shaolin monks bringing it here after the burning of the Temples by the Red Army in China during the 60's. So I consider the claims of my teacher BS in this area. Although I used it effectively to defend myself, the historical claims behind it appear false. So is the M.O. of BS teachers, stories are made up that cannot be confirmed, however there character always reveals itself in time. So this search led me to these douches, and it is not related at all to what I know, however it was interesting. Enjoy
The infamous Count Dante. His real name is a John Keehan. He let his martial arts trophies go to his head and he started making false claims of where he came from an then said he was a Count. Despite this he had thousands of students at one time. He, some students and instructors invaded a rival Dojo and this resulted in the deaths of his close friend. This is known as the Dojo wars of Chicago. History is full of people who build an image and allow it to go to their heads. Today the school still has student, even after his death.
The new head instructor is, " Supreme Grand Master William Aguiar ", what is it with Bullshido's and the long comic book hero type titles?
This is him griping about copy right infringement about non other than Ashida Kim, 2 shams talking about infringement is mad funny.

They both look the same. They both stole from other systems and coined them as there own. There both BS. However Ashida came after Black Dragon. Guys were Ashida got his deadly form from? Yep from the BS Black Dragon Society.
This guy did a good job of putting the records up on the net, you need a yahho id to view it.
