He needs a very specific message: Dafyd, We have absolutley no faith in anything which you say any more. Your words count for nothing . The only thing which is acceptable to us is immediate action . You have no right to expect anything from us. Patience? Why should I have patience when you have been...

I agree, it sounds to me excatly like he is playing games. I think it is vital that he get taken to task on this one immediately. I dont give a damn what else he\'s got on, that is nothing to do with us. If he has an appointment with Max he\'d better damn well keep it, or I suspect before long he\'l...

Just a quickie in case anyone missed it, I fixed the indexing of the older \'General\' topic. You should be able to see it now as normal.

I have locked that thread to avoid confusion.

In Karate our front/walking stance was always taught with the knee directly over, or slightly behind the ankle.

In very traditional Kata we were often so low that the thight was almost parallel to the floor.

Makes my eyes water just remembering the \'good old days....\'

[quote=\"Inglish\"]I would like to complete this business with Haase 100% before we start talking about making a more official organization from out of this Forum and charging member fees(for whatever reason). [/quote] Dont think there is really any thoughts of fees or anything at all at p...

Fond memories of when I started in ITF style TKD.... my instructor correcting me with a big grin on his face....

\"For pity\'s sake Richard, get that stance HIGHER !!!!\"

Max, I\'ve got some Karate in my lineage too... Back in 1987 I graduated 1st Dan in Shoto-Ryu Karate under Sensei Vivian Nash, 7th Dan. Shoto-Ryu was an offshoot of the Shotokai under Sensei Mituzuki Harada from Japan. Shoto-Ryu was an interesting style, very soft and flowing unlike it\'s Shoto-styl...

Why not send them both a copy of the document that Albert prepared for Tom Merritt?

That was a great overview of Haase\'s activities and I think a worthwhile read for any potential forum member.

I for one have no problem with either gentleman joining the forum. Whilst I have had no contact with Prince, I did get a couple of mails from Ben Haryo a while back (18th July): First one (in response to my resignation email).: Dear Mr. Olpin, Like you, I am no longer with IJF management, though I a...

Seems to be that Prince\'s answers are rather nocommittal. It is hard to tell whether he is deliberately shirting the issue, or if as I suspect he is simply not interested in what happens to Haase any more.

Albert,

As far as I am concerned Sir you keep on posting wherever you like!

Since when did any of us promise to keep out mouth shut? As far as I am concerned, all we have said it that at this stage we will hold off from pressing legal charges, providing he continues to work with us, through Max. We have NO agreement with him, and he has NO RIGHT to ask for anything from us....

Seems so,

I for one am happy to network will all like-minded Martial Artists.

Perversely, thats why I joined the IJF in the first place!!!

Cheers,

They\'ve not arrived yet...

If any of you guys have any good shots, please pass them on, I\'ll add some more to my \"friends around the world\" section..

Be interesting if Haase ever sees it..

Hey Doug, you got a picture then? Just noticed you need an avatar..

Hi Doug,

I\'ve not had any contact with anyone in the last few days other than on the forum..

Hi Patty,

Yes I saw that too... didnt recognise the IP address though.

When this is all done, I will be happy to make an area on my site where all the evidence is clearly laid out for anyone eho wants to see it. Thats not slander, is merely laying the evidence out for whoever wants it.

Max,

Did Dafyd show up for his meeting yesterday then or what? Any news to report?

Guys : A quick note with my admin head on... When posting replies to previous long posts can you just quote the relevant bits rather than the whole of the previous post please... a) It makes the topic easier to follow, and b) It stops the database growing our of control. Without going into too much ...
