Greetings,

Well as I posted a while back we have been getting a great many formerly disillusioned students from a group who had in the past done nothing but bad mouthed us and honestly just kept their students from making a comparison so they could see for themselves what they preferred.

This was done as I said in my letter, "Living Well is the Best Revenge." It is funny how to hear when they tell me every point in that letter was right on the money . Anyway we have picked up new friends and students and wanted to share a few examples.

Here is a link to a letter from John Ryan who just returned from my seminar in Port Huron at Guru Besar Jerry Jacobs King Tiger Pukulan Cimande Pusaka School.

He told me he trained for four years with the top practitioners in that other school attending the workshops, hosting seminars and flying out for private lessons (really he was mostly just made to clean the teachers garage ), yet I can tell you when he actually saw what we did first hand instead of hearing the propaganda, well just read the letter.

A little note about Bobbe Edmunds.

Bobbe who is a real nice guy and has actually spent time as myself going to Indonesia to study told me this story to pass along. After having the same basic experience as John ( they spent time swapping horror stories) Bobbe was back over in Indonesia in Cimande Village when here comes running over to him none other than the top guy, Pendekar Mama.

Pendekar Mama seeing Bobbe had an American T-shirt on thought it was one of my students coming to see him and asked Bobbe. Then Pendekar Mama invited Bobbe back to his house when all of a sudden there right in front of his eyes was EVERYTHING he had been told and lied to that did not exist . My picture right there on Pendekar Mama's wall along with the pictures of my students from each certificate Pendekar Mama issued . The ones that were supposed to be fake etc etc. Bobbe knew at once a big lie was told which he relayed to some of the students. Bobbe then took a look at my video tapes and told me the Ular he saw me doing could have come directly from the school he attended in Bandung , so much for the guy who said no snake style exists. He saw both Cobra and Python by the way.

Bobbie also said my letter I wrote on living well was the best revenge was one hundred percent accurate. Bobbe will be training with us in the future and I look forward to having another student who has taken the time to go see, look at what we do and make an informed decision. He apologized for being part of a group who said so many lies and negative things but added he was not among the group saying things, he felt bad he did not try to stop it but I say he has done a very hard and honorable thing now by admitting what he saw and that mistakes were made and that makes him a very big man in my opinion.

I believe I have kept up my end of the bargain and treated both of these fine people with respect and will continue to do so with the others who are making our numbers grow daily. I don't know how many hundreds of students my I have now world wide but I heard the other day the other guy who tried for so many years to lie and deceive others out of looking at us has about five left with him.
