Mr. Henderson and Mr. Smith and whom ever else it may concern,

 

I am one of Mr. Jones's senior most students.  I have been apart of this group for some time and have never responded to any emails but have enjoyed reading them.  But it seems its that time of the year when Mr. Henderson and Mr. Smith do their annual Mr. Jones bashing.  Lets look at some facts:

1.No one has offered up proof that Eiko Miyazato is Alive.  Further more there is an Eiko Miyazato in his late 50s that is a student of the late Yagi Dai sensei. 

2.Mr. Smith drove all the way from Florida to Indiana to train with Mr. Jones, after one workout he asked to join as a life member.  Eiko Miyazato wasn't on the mat, only Mr. Jones. 

3.Mr. Henderson has attacked several prominent martial artists--Mr. Roy Hobbs, Mr. Patrick McCarthey, and Mr. Kimo Wall to name a few.  And has been kicked out of practically EVERY organization.  So how can anyone take stock in a man who trashes even the pioneers? 

4.As I recall Mr. Henderson and Mr. Smith, when they were part of Mr. Jones organization, tried to take it over and kick him out.  When they were unable to do so this is when all the defimation of character began. 

5.Another fact is that the Dai Nippon Seibukan accepted and authenticated Mr. Jones' certificates of rank and did an extensive background check on his martial arts background.  Furthermore, the Hanshi board for the Dai Nippon Seibukan USA came to his dojo for three days and trained with him, after which he was awarded a Kyoshi license by them.  On that board was Mr. William Stockey, Mr. Roy Hobbs, Mr. Mike Sadler, and Mr. Rudy Crosswell.  How do I know?  I was there and Mr. Crosswell has video of it all (man, he loves to video tape).  Were they not skilled enough to not be able to see if he made it all up?  Why would he have been invited to teach seminars to their students?  Why did they add the kata and waza to their rank requirements?  Example Mr. Rudy Crosswell. 

 

If you say he is a big scam artist then you must be insulting quite a few people other than Mr. Jones.  If you have such a big problem take it up with the Dai Nippon Seibukan Japan and USA.  You should talk to Mr. Hobbs also because he created a new style from what he learned FROM Mr. Jones in respect to Eiko Miyazato.  If you are insulting Mr. Jones then you have to be insulting Mr. Hobbs and that is a huge mistake. 

 

As for the computer id numbers, please provide your proof that this ever happened.

What I see here is slander, Harassment, and defimation of character with no real proof.  Perhaps somebody should go to court. 

 

As you so like to express the answers are on the floor, well they got on the floor with him, gave him a teachers license and there you have it. 

 

If Mr. Henderson and Russ Smith would like to, Mr. Jones and I will be more than happy to "DISCUSS MARTIAL ARTS" any place, any time.  It seems you two are the only ones that are having the issues. 

 

I have stated the facts and will no longer discuss this.  I have the up most respect for everyone mentioned and those reading this.  Except two in particular. 

 

Thank you,

Scott M.
