Well all I can tell you is what he has told me. I have no way to verify if it's true or not I wasn' there. But by the way he describes his training with HKM it does sound like it was very hard to get to see him. Then when he was training there were not many people training with him at the time. So it does not sound like a mass production type of thing. If I have it right all the training was done out of his home. I understand that alot of people name drop to make them sound better but in this case I think he's telling the truth. I could be wrong though.
