WHO here has trained with him and what does he look like? does he always wear the mask even when teaching? i have downloaded his book that he is giving away on his site. will read it and give my impressions of it at a later time.
what i would also like to know is if there are any factions in Japan that endorse Mr Kim.
Danny Sainty is a member who has trained with him. He doesn't always wear a mask, at least not in his books. He's a white guy. I'll post a link to a pic if you want to see. Please give your impressions now. I have found many flaws in his book Secrets of the Ninja that you can download. I ended up selling it on eBay once I learned his was not real ninjutsu. If you want I'll try to post some of them, although it would be from memory cuz I don't have the book anymore. Oh wait, I could download it again. Duh.
As far as I know, there's no one in Japan who endorses him.
