Yeah, I try to be as self-deluded as I can in my martial arts. Then I wake up!
Seriously, though, I never cease to be amazed by all the claims of some people in the martial arts world. Some of their backgrounds reads like a list of Hollywood movie credits. 10th degree combat jujitsu, 10th degree World Federation Kan Do, 9th degree taijutsu do, 8th degree yada yada yada, on and on for pages. Sheesh, where did they get the time to achieve all these ranks and still only be 40 years old?
