Definitely a very interesting video glad the audio is fixed. Back in the early 1980's I was researching Dennis Decker and his Kempo style art. All roads lead to James Mitose so I read up on him. Remember thinking he got a raw deal I also sent a few letters out, none was ever answered. Anyways thanks for what you do and for the your teachings.
I'm interested in the history of Kenpo and James Mitose, thanks for sharing this, ive found it a challenge to find any of James Mitose books but I tracked down one copy of his "What is self defence" which I'm looking forward to reading. I also enjoyed your words on Dan Inosanto who has a Kenpo background that many people are unaware of I've found. I look forward to more of your videos, thanks.
Bruce, I know that you trained with Cerio. But, did you ever train with Pesare or Villari? And if so, could you do some videos those experiences...? Thanks for your work thus far! Cheers mate!
Bruce is a fraud. He has been lying to people for years. Lately I have been talking to alot of people about this guy and everyone says the same thing. I went to a few of his seminars 7 years ago. I got caught up in all the sensationalism about his history and connection with James Mistose.That was until I started to do alot of research about him because people where telling me he was a fraud. At first I didn't like what people where telling me and I never just believe what people say unless I research it without proof. Through research I found out that Bruce is one of the biggest lies in martial arts history. It was a huge disappointment for myself and others in our group. For years he has been lying about his rank and history with James Mitose.That has all been found out now finally. He claims to have learned from James Mitose but only visited him in prison only a few times according to prison log books which has been proven. Many have seen the logs. Even without log books who in their right mind would believe he learned from James Mitose in a maximum security prison ? How is that people buy the stories of him having discussions in a room with Mitose in prison and Mitose showing him concepts. They would allow that in a maximum security prison ? with a convicted murder ? I have worked in prisons and that would never happen. In the book " What is Self Defense -Mitose" it shows letters that Mitose gave to Bruce declaring him Grand Master of the art. If you look in the front of the book in small print you will see that the book was reprinted by the "Kosho Shorei Ryu punishing company" ..owned by Bruce....letters inserted in the book perhaps? When you read the book there is nothing in the book resembling the material that Bruce teaches. The book clearly demonstrates karate and jujitsu techniques in a very basic way. Where is the Kosho Ryu ? Why does no one ever see that ? Bruce’s explanation over the years has been that books show “still pictures” and it’s hard to show these things as its not movement” .The book clearly shows simple techniques none of which even remotely look like the so called “Kosho Ryu” that Bruce teaches.There is no talk about any of his theories. Take Aikido for example it is not the easiest thing to learn as it is all movement and concepts yet many books have been written for that art and discussed in detail broken down into “still pictures” showing movement so people can learn from that. The whole history of Bruce and Kosho Ryu has been fabricated. In the 1980’s he was so popular because the internet wasn’t out at that time and the world could not connect to compare notes. Today these type of frauds are exposed do to the internet with people connecting and sharing and proving information.When asked to Bruce why about the book he wrote - "why is Mitoses signature in his book he wrote erased out ?". His answer is " because so no one could copy Mitoses’ signature". What a clever why to cover a lie. Things don’t seem to match here. The reality is it’s a lie. Why do famous actors and sports people have letters and signatures in books but do not block out their signatures?... That’s why we have hand writing experts to easily determine by cross referencing that signatures are real or not...no need to cross them out in a book . Bruce talks in his videos about being true to ones self but he is the biggest twister of truth. He is a good showman and fabricator. Crazy how people follow this guy. Today alot of people have researched him and found out his lies. He doesn't have the following he had for years. Eventually people seek truth. Some know but turn a blind eye. Its sad.

Bruce, I know that you trained with Cerio.
But, did you ever train with Pesare or Villari? And if so, could you do some videos those experiences...?
Thanks for your work thus far!

Villari was a self made master and a joke in the global martial arts community
May God in Heaven bless you for telling the truth Sir
