Just glad to be out of there now!!!

Can anything be done to close these people down?

Hi thetruth

Thanks for the info. This is helpful but, as you trained with the group for a number of years, perhaps you could provide a response to the main questions raised regarding style, history and who the actual people involved are.

Q. to thetruth

What is the reason you edited out all the information from your detailed and welcome post?

OK Guys

What's going on?

We've now had one guy delete his posts saying that he had posted in error and needed to be more humble and another who gave details of the financial arrangements of this group and then deleted his post with no explanation.

Has the karate mafia got at these guys.

Did they wake up with a horses head in bed with them?

From my experiences at BAMA, I feel that there is a fair amount of attempted brainwashing going on in the form of Zen Philosophy lessons. The lessons would involve talking about how the Samurai lived and that you should live like them as well. I think that what may be happening here is the people who edited their posts have had some kind of crisis of conscience brought on by what they 'learned' in the Zen lessons.

Either that or they were contacted and given a talking to!

I remember some of the prices thetruth posted - but do not want to trust simply to my memory ... did anybody take a copy of the text before he deleted it?

Q. to thetruth

Your Post gave insight into this organisation. You only stated facts. And whilst I 'm not a master of zen (nor keen to get into a discussion about what is a fact / what is truth) I feel that unequivocally stated facts are of themselves, and should be able to open to public scrutiny.

I originally saw the truths post on my laptop at home, it hasn't been on the internet recently so I could probably get the post out of the internet history.

Hi all,

Just to keep things going on the subject of the BAMA I have answers to your questions.
after reading all through the thread I felt the need to jump in and help you all out.

Now in return for this seemingly priceless info I need your help.
I can give you a brief history lay out,
names,places and other bits.
the only thing i need your help with is to find where the philosophy came from.

The things that i'm interested in knowing are topics such as concepts of:-
7 animals- using animal characteristics such as an owl to class an individual as studies or knowledgable.
air manipulation.
fourth dimension.
shoguy-the art of knowing without knowing.

if you guys can dig anything up I would be grateful and then I will reply with the other info I have.

JKD last resort


to me JKD is my last resort in fighting. its in a fight where u feel uncomfortable an begin to dout the outcome that JKD shows potential in this situation. in that moment you freeze, you may be beaten so now u have ego. now you are unbalanced in mind body spirit. an balanced in your mechanical abilities as a martial artist. like that is an that is not or concisously unconcis. you us JKD to learn to balance the unbalance at the same time unbalanceing the balance the the balance is still balanced an the unbalanced is still unbalanced . Beat Yourself, Beat ur fears, Beat you enemy. kindof like my view of how a fictional Wizard does hes phenomal magic. you have 2 forces good and evil. you are awed by the wizard an afraid because his mastery of the powers of good an evil. in one hand is evil, in one hand is good. changing places as evil becomes good an good evil to make 1 form that is visable in the hand of the wizard who does not chose sides which u would say he is netural but he is not like an Atom = neurton proton electron you have a negative postive neutral but all make 1 an make many many materials gasses wood life everything that IS. you either understand my concept or u dont.
