Joe Dunphy gets slapped with restraining order!

[David Jamieson]

It seems over the past few yrs, Sifu Huang has been getting his rep blown up. Sifu Marshall really detailed alot last year on this forum and others from his own research, and explicit records from his sifu. I don't think I saw any response or follow up from Sifu Huang.
Now, at least through this post, it looks like Sifu Dunphy perhaps thought he had a claim to GM of Tien Shan Pai in America and felt compelled to come at Sifu Brown. They both (Sifu Huang and Sifu Dunphy) probably should have thought this through more on a lot of levels. Sifu Brown is as respected as any other teacher up and down the east coast, and anyone that has met him knows he could care less about any political garbage as long as it keeps him and his out of it. I hope Sifu Brown brings a team to the Baltimore tourney this year. That would be fun to watch.

All I'm saying is that this is an international site and for the most part, most people don't give a shit who these guys are, what they do etc etc.

really, we don't care. They should just keep their stuff in their sandbox and deal with it like men instead of pussies.

If they don't like each other and got a beef, that is what the kungfu is for. go beat the crap out of each other and the winner gets the other one's students. end of story and they shouldn't forget to put up videos at youtube so we can further ridicule them for being pompous asses with overinflated senses of self importance.

bwahahahahahaha

except for a few, that whole group is just wacky

so i take it that Jon's just doing his own thing now and not a part of the org?


David
you gotta understand that the people involved are responsible for 2 of the biggest tournaments on the east coast.

really? and they act like this?

wow, just wow.

poor form.

[BoulderDawg]

To be honest I believe both these groups to be dishonorable and I would not have anything to do with either.

If what was said is true (and there is still doubt here, I don't think the call was taped) then that's just crazy. You don't call people up and threaten to kill them.

Also, I've been threatened before. I didn't make a big deal out of if. I didn't go to any police or make it public. I just told them that, in that case, if I were you I'd watch my back and not sleep because I won't give you a chance to attack me first.

Also, students bringing this feud to a public board is crazy. It's none of their business. If the same thing was happening in my school I think the Masters could handle it without my help.

I disagree to more of an extent than agree. I think most on these forums love the flame wars from time to time. The fact that this is local to me makes it even more interesting to me. Consider as well, that within some of these flame wars here and there, information is made available to more people than was before. When the whole CLF Chan Heung/Jeong Yim thing was blowing up, there was a plethora of info and history and lineage divulged...for free!

fair enough.

i wonder if these guys wear pants or shorts when they go crazy on their makawari boards.

Let 'em rant David, wave with it bro.

Just wanted to clarify my intention as I see where this dialogue is going. I am not affiliated with these parties. I think that a martial arts family should at the very least speak out against this behavior. It reflects on us all in the publics eyes. I know that threatening someone’s family was downplayed by some here, but get real- this is seriously deranged and criminal!
This has nothing to do with skills or barnyard brawls-please grow up. This is simply about disgusting criminal behavior and blatantly fraudulent claims. All the evidence is available-heres the court info:

Posting this publicly is the least I can do to shine light on situation. Sunlight is best disinfectant. Parents may want to know that this instructor goes around threatening his rival’s family before they enroll their children in his program.
-TSW?

“you gotta understand that the people involved are responsible for 2 of the biggest tournaments on the east coast.”

-perhaps that makes them think they can act like this…

-TSW?

[Scott R. Brown]

Oh really? I've been involved in Chinese martial arts for almost 30 years and I never heard of anyone threatening another teachers family over a website.
This is a first for me but I tend to associate myself with responsible mature members of martial arts family. Guess it depends on who you choose for company...
-TSW?

Welcome to the dark side of martial arts!!

best rationalization for blatant pot-stirring ever posted!

[Mas Judt]

This kind of behavior is just stupid. But with the threats and the police involvement, it is no different than the thread 'busted martial artists.'

If it is all factual (I assume it is since links are supplied to court documents), why not discuss it here? We give a lot more cr@p to the Shaolin-Do guys, and they aren't running around threatening peoples families over a web site.

Shameful behavior.
