Return of the back yard warriors.

To be fair, that post was there before mine.
However:
I am not an AMERICAN martial artist, not an AMERICAN MARTIAL artistist.
I have a fair idea what is real, and will ask questions when unsure. At least I know who Sakugawa is and know where NOT to put his picture.
I have lived and studied in Japan, and am still living over here. What did he study?
I didn't bash their art, I mentioned linguistic inaccuracies and inappropriate use of photos in their video. I thought that was "showing my expertise". Not good enough for some...
"Anyone can talk good sh*t over the internet"... something about glass houses and hard projectiles?

I tried to be nice and inoffensive, sigh.

FIRE AT WILL!

this oddly reminds me of headong Kumdo...ah thinking even me (a noob kendoka) would be stoping his show off with a simple men strike...but....no....why do i think so violent he is not worth it!...a kendoka only attack other kendoka...and thats to learn....sorry ^_^

I've put this comment up on Kunoichi84's comments page.

突然ですが、ちょっと訪ねてもよろしいでしょうか？
まず、いつ日本に訪れましたか？どれくらい滞在しましたか？高校で留学しに来ましたか?
武道に関して、どんな流派を習いましたか？段位や免許などを持っていますか?
最後に、あるＳＮＫＤビデオの中、「唐手」佐久川、武田惣角、合気道の佐々木先生など有名な人物の写真が入っていますが、どんな関係で入っているかを教えていただきませんか？よろしくお願いします。

It's about as polite as I can make it (sorry, no keigo). Let's see how long before he deletes it. I'm not expecting any answers for a couple of reasons...
