Now that we have all upped the pressure byt sending him a \'round\' of individual emails, we have an potential tactical advantage. (By the way, I just re-sent my mail regarding the fact there is NO agreement as I realised I used the president@ email rather than the master_haase@yahoo.com one). Now t...

Further to Max\'s comments on the issue of a Doctorate in Martial Arts. In the United Kingdom this has been discussed at great length, and there are now a number of organisations which are actively developing academic programmes leading to Batchelors, Masters and Doctoral degrees in the Martial Arts...

[quote=\"Maxwell S. Oates\"]First, I want to say that Albert and Richard\'s correspondence with Haase was controlled and direct. Good job! [/quote] Thanks Max, I figured it wouldnt do any harm for Haase to realise how lucky he is to have your good self acting as our spokesman. If it weren\...

[quote=\"AGL\"]Does anyone in the group have Character Recognition Software? [/quote]

Albert,

Yes I do, I have a flat bed scanner and good OCR software.

Might be a bit difficult to arrange logistically though, but I am more than happy to scan/ocr anything if it helps.

Just sent this to Haase... Mr Haase, I note from your recent correspondance with Max that you still insist on referring to some \'agreement\' that you think you have with our forum. I want to state quite categorically and in no uncertain terms : YOU HAVE NO AGREEMENT WITH OUR FORUM. The simple fact ...

What are the little Dragons under peoples names? Those are user ranks, which are a quick indication of how many posts that user has made. They go as follows: http://www.uk-blackbelt-academy.com/forum/images/ranks/1dragon.gif 25 posts http://www.uk-blackbelt-academy.com/forum/images/ranks/2dragons.g...

Yeah I did think about a similar system using large/small dragons but then I figured if I just made them smaller and re-did the numbering it would last or ages anyway, and lets face it, it doens really matter anyway... :lol: Unless of course you are : MegaSupremeUltraGrandmaster Hasse http://www.uk-...

Yes, I am afraid it\'s true, I had to make an executive decision and re-do the ranks. I never imagined anyone would get anywhere near 500 posts this quickly, let alone two of us! I\'ve set them now at http://www.uk-blackbelt-academy.com/forum/images/1dragon.gif 1 = 25 posts http://www.uk-blackbelt-a...

[quote=\"Maxwell S. Oates\"] No problem Richard. I was actually thinking about you previous to your mentioning this. You had originally indicated that the TKD Times was hard to acquire in the UK. I will go over to the shop this evening.[/quote] Thanks Max, No hurry to send it, would just l...

If it comes down to it legally then I think we are all well aware that we will never see any of our money back. If it does come to that stage then my only wish would be to report everything to the proper authorities so that they could throw the book at him and he would get what was coming to him. I ...

Been trying to get hold of a copy of the current Taekwondo Times, the one with Master Merrit on the cover but it\'s not that easy to get hold of over here.

Any chance that one of you guys could pick up a copy and mail it over for me - I\'ll happily pay all the cost of course. :)

As ever Max I trust in your judgement of the matter and I am very grateful for the considerable efforts that you are making on our behalf.

Thomas,

I\'m with you on this one. Just left a little something for him on the BBS myself.

If he is going to start playing games then its time he starts seeing that we mean business.

Maybe Max should copy him a few more of our recent posts too..?
