As I have said in earlier posts, I fully admit that I was a damned fool to be taken in by his BS. When I originally joined the IJF there were representatives all over the place and it all seemed quite above board, I received numeraous emails etc from representatvies around the world welcoming me on ...

I am delighted to see that our latest forum member is none other than Grandmaster Petrotta. I have of course enabled his access to the instructors area and providing you all agree will enable him access to here as well.

Excellent, What a great response from GM Petrotta! Max, it is great that you have such a good relationship with such good people as GM Petrotta and Master Merritt. Not only are they fully aware of Haase\'s background now, also they can at least see that not everything to come out of the IJF is a fra...

Don\'t forget - I\'m first in line so I get to go first.... :)

Still, if we did all go for a visit at least his students would all have a training partner, we\'d double the size of his school for the night!

Perhaps I should match him up with my junior 2nd Dan Shona then.... She is a great little fighter, 14 years old, tough as nails. Seriously you can spar her has hard as you like and she\'ll always come back for more. I used to be able to let her fight me full-contact (with me semi of course) but thes...

[quote=\"Maxwell S. Oates\"]Thanks for that critical email sent by Master Choy! You paid for Dafyd\'s INO at the prorated rate given him by Master Choy. No wonder Master Choy was confused. Dafyd actually was bold enough to get you to pay. That bastard! He killed Kenny! [/quote] There is no...

Some time later I double checked that the ITF had received my payment via the touchbase form on the website. I had a reply from Master Choy: Dear Mr. Olpin Thank you for completing the \'touchbase\' form. However, I am at this point in time a bit confused. The payment received on behalf of the IJT w...

I wonder if the fact I knew a few UK ITF people made him jumpy? Yes this is all great. There is only one small downside that we shall fix later. As an INO only members in my country, canada, can particpate in tournaments. That is to say as you do not live in Canada you can not complete in the UK or ...

Next mail from Haase... I just found out something and had to make a correction. The payments due to the ITF are US$ not Canadian. I thought as they were in Canada is was CDN$, sorry. The rate has been reduced or prorated a bit for us to $166 US$, with a renewal of $50 US$ due January 1st each year ...

When you paid the ITF, did you give your address or the IJF\'s for the shipment of the Dojang Certificate? If you paid the ITF, you have been sent the certificate. However, if it was sent to Dafyd then he has it. If you can remember whether or not you had to provide an address, it would help. Right...
