I can't comment about anything negative. I'm also pretty shocked to read about some of the claims made against him. If they are true or not I believe in forgive and forget. Life's too short to be bickering. If Frank apologizes to the appropriate parties which it appears he already has, then let it be.
The person who we should be asking is Neale. I'm just a paying member of this website, have only attended a handful of classes with John Roderick, and went to the RG seminar with Neale. He is the journeyman who has probably spent the most time with him and is a journeyman who has put his licks in with 10PJJ.
thanks very, very much Jason. But as I have already decided that most everyone has made up their minds, I have contacted everyone who I felt needed explainations and stated my case to them and I know what happen and for the record, so did Neale after many conversations with him about my background. I did change my belt to reflect my rank in tpjj as not to mislead everyone, btw, which is how a lot of this came about. Also for the record, I live in goldsboro, nc. and so that you know, it is a small town with approximately 6 schools that teach martial arts, 1 mma school that I helped open with a friend at the time Abi's mma, 4 traditional karate schools, and one bjj school that is jake whitfields. I can tell you that I had two of jakes former students contact me via fb about starting with me in feb. I personally never had a problem with jake until he insulted me and my fiance and spread accusations like on here that are hearsay and conjucture based off hearsay as jake himself stated has only lived in goldsboro for a couple of years, and considering that my last conviction for an assault was over five years ago. Yes I went to prison for spitting on my ex-wife, this is a fact that so many of you on here have pointed out by simply googling it. I was not charged with a crime made exclusively for me as jake puts it. I was charged in 1999 with habitual misd. assault which had been on the law books since 1996 had part of increased offenses for violent offenders. After I spit on my ex for one cheating on me, two leaving me for another man, and third and probably the main reason, for taking our daughter and running off with the man that she cheated with and leaving the state and refusing to let me see my daughter over the course of the next FOUR YEARS. Her father was the one who found this as of yet unused law and brought it before the d.a. as I had a previous record for assault when I was in my late teens and early twenties and was bouncing in bars to make extra money. Even though all of the charges that were used to coallate the habitual were from ten years earlier, I still qualified under the law, so I was the first case charged and convicted for it. I did 7 months in prison for it and was released in jan 2001. As for my training and my credientials, I think that I have been honest and forthwith in correcting anything that may have been misleading.
This has been humiliating and heartbreaking to see so many people who choose to believe someone who came on this forum for the soul purpose of discrediting me and that I am is rival in business where we live. In the whole facebook arguement, Jake even quoted, why would anyone want to train with a criminal who beats women and even went to prison for it, pretty much trying to ruin my reputation by using not my ability to teach and that I have been doing it for quite some time with many students to verify that, but choosing to spread conjecture and lies that he knows nothing about. Its al for nothing, because all I wanted to do is teach and to teach tpjj too, but since it seems that everyone has such strong opinions bout it on here, I have decided to discontinue my classes. Sorry to every member on the forum, I have asked that Kevin see to it that my profile be deleted and I removed many of you from my fb page as not to tarnish your images. thanks for the memories and your time.
