''Nick says: 'I have to side with the Moo's here. Once a school leaves, it should pull down any marketing that connects them to the Moo.'
'Thank You Nick.
'That is the exact question that was continually asked along with requests, but some still refuse to abide by the requests for thier return and use them. I am not talking about 1 or 2 pictures. Entire waiting rooms full of displays. It is not only the use of copyrighted and registered materials, but it is also giving a false impression to the public. Jim Rath, Wakefield, MA. even has a picture of the Flying Side kick that you detest so much prominently displayed in his office (By the way - Mike Leone still gives seminars there. Tom Adams, Needham, MA (who shows up at Mike L's seminars as well) has an unchanged waiting room complete with displays and phtotos. (BTW there are photgraphs of thier use on file for future use).
'Mike Leone has even admitted to having a at least one photograph of Grandmaster 'Iron' Kim hanging in his school in Phoenix. AZ. Why? To give themselves credibility in the martial arts community.
'Even the other locations still use the same seminars and explain the importance of the use of 'herbs' and pressure points in training. Yet, they still insist on not completely breaking their ties, if by only using pictures.'
Yeah, there's no moo higher belts on here. Really. Eric just happens to know all this, including the files they're keeping. Sure.
Just as Sonic happens to know Joe Jakosalem and know what David Hughes' rank was in the past without knowing Dave at all.
Just as HF can tell you the names of former instructors, or tell you who's on the tape I referenced when I hadn't even mentioned which instructors were on the tape.
Just as, when I say that the moo is bound to face legal difficulties for their behavior, the first response is titled 'Yeah, KC believes we keep all our eggs in one basket' or some such thing. 'We'. Meaning 'Those of us posting daily for Kim'.
Sure, there's no higher belts on here.
