Dan this one was a private E mail why did you place it on the net?? Oh Dan, On ass kicking most of us who live the life with martial arts as our philosophy and more less religion as well as the art and fighting skills we practice do not threaten folks. So I on the martial arts consider these challenges out of character of the art to challenge those you disagree with to a fight. I'm a fifth Dan and in my case it does not stand for dances a lot, it represents consistent training including full contact fighting every since 1958 and boxing 65 fights when i was younger beginning in 1952 and boxing thro 1968 and boxing included with the martial arts every since 1958. Recently I have discontinued full contact because of age and all the injuries received in a full time life of numerous contact sports. While I would not accept invitations such as those you offer to fight. if pushed I would be the last person to walk away and others share similar views. I do not know the philosophy of the person I referenced but I do know their abilities which are comparable to those Sheck had and he too was a high dan who did not dance with mirrors.
