Dan also has a background in Tenshin Shoden Katori Shintoryu.
Some teachers are not public, which means their students are unable to be public with their details, while honoring the teacher's wishes. FWIW
Some of you suggested I do a Google search on Dan to get his background. I did, and this is what I came up with. Now if anyone one wants to provide me anyother links, I will look at them. There is nothing on Dan's webpage about his training background. Here are the links I found so far.
http://www.aikiweb.com/forums/showthrea ... 287&page=8The only thing I found on Tenshin Shoden Katori Shintoryu is here related to Dan. But there is no mention of him training or ranked in Tenshin Shoden Katori Shintoryu. For the Daito ryu is the only thing I found. Let me add to that I was told from a Daito ryu admin official they have no records of membership or ranking of Dan in Daito ryu. Anymore info would be appreciated. I am only looking at facts of his training.
http://esotericorange.com/yoseishin/aik ... ackground/This is from Mr. Orange's CV. I don't know Mr. Orange, he came up in the search.
"Dan Harden with background in the Horikawa line."
Dan, what is the Horikawa line?
http://www.martialartsplanet.com/forums ... p?t=100732And this also came up in the search, but it gives no background training on Dan. It too asks about his background.
This is what is on the net besides lots of advertising for seminars over the years on a many other boards, I found so far. If you are going to do public seminars and post them on the net, why would you be private with your training background? I am open to Dan telling me what his training background (a.k.a CV). I don't see why I should chase it down on the net? I think he would be proud of his training, he is proud of what he teaches.
So far you have printed lies
Listened to lies
Re-quoted more lies
And have reduced yourself to no more than a teenage gossip.
Why haven't you mentioned the latter apologies from many of those threads?
You also missed aikiweb; there is a treasure trove of shit talk about me there: con man, snake oil salesman, fraid. Dude! Didn't miss out! Run on over.
I am sure that you will accidentally miss those apologese as well as every, single, testimony of those who ACTUALLY met me.
Hurry now. There is a guy like you there: jim Sorrentino. Look for good own thread "An opdeen invitation to Dan Harden " try to follow along and read three years of harassing me about my CV over three forums and calling me out as fraud.
Read to the very end. It will tell you where your shit talk is heading. There are hundreds of guys who all know the teachers involved, the incredible embarrassment it caused them, one almost being fired. And it will teach YOU about teachers with great CV's lying. We? We were already sitting at a dinner table laughing our asses off at your expense, in Hawaii, but hey, we deserve some fun with you.
Now.. Last... Pay attention to my responses over the years as I am lied to and lied about. See how I reacted then, as now.
Make sure since your are quoting.
I expect to read one of the only Daito ryu mokuroku holders in the west staging I have the finest skills he has ever witnessed in and out of Japan, BAR NONE.
Make sure now that we all are your research showing all the teachers AND THEIR CV's and why they chose to train under me.
Run along now.
I don't care so much for e-budo I had zero respect for the former mods and even less for the current ones. Two in particular. One I consider a coward who cares more for their own position than seriously owed giri. But few peeled have substance any more.
_____________________________
So now, since according to your sources, I'm a nobody from nowhere who trained in nothing,.
Now, finish your research young man.
Experience in the field is something on every CV. And yourself said this:

Isn't that the bottom line? If you tested it in the field and had positive results? That is experience isn't it, and hard to argue that. Sure people can throw mud or heckle the art, but if it saved your butt, it did its job. What more needs to be said.
Now defend your statement as Mark asked you to.
Please tell us who I teach?
Careful now there are maybe a hundred or so of them here who have borne witness to many things.
Many of the teachers and students I mention below are in photos with me as their teacher all over my face book page. While I don't consider myself as their teacher it proves a point. They have also written about me.
Ready? Here we go. I don't get to reveal this that often, so thank you for this as well.

Try to at least pretend to be credible. It is impossible to lie about having this many publicly known people coming together in rooms all over the world, and having their picture taken.
So you have a serious credibility issue.
Ready?
Why are they coming_________________?
You, have to expose that truth whilst trying to claim me a liar.
And thank you. Since you also claim I'm all about seminars, you need to recognize stuff like this helps me tremendously. Why?
Because in fact, I don't lie and I am a gentleman and I am incredibly loyal to teachers family and friends.. And you?
You are a being played by others as their fool. But thanks anyway, I'm booked into 2017 but there is always 2018.
