Answer by kibotoyuki
In my opinion, coming from a traditional (as in when-karate-was-first-created traditional) karate practitioner’s point of view… no, not really. Especially all the “6 dan” and “1 dan” in this and that. It’s hard enough getting to 1 dan in just one style.
edit: oh sure, just down-vote me because I said I practice traditional karate. (-_-; )

looks like a lot of fluff and some bs
lets see
-Global Competitor 1980-2006
International Competitor Ranked #3 in all of Canada and the United States in 1983
big deal. who ranked him?
-Voted Most Outstanding Martial Artist “Canadian Karate Kung Fu Association “1983
considering he is part of the organization im sure they voted him it, just so he could hang something on the wall. its like the black belt hall of fame there a dime a dozen
-Professional Karate Association Europe
i bet if you contact them they would say something different, interesting how googling this brings you right to his page, all 4 links, especially when put into quotes
-Achieved his first certified 1st Degree Instructor’s Black Belt in 1983
you are Not an instructor at first degree you dont become one in any regimental organization until 3rd
edit:> oh and btw on his web site he claims to be a 10th degree, they are usually in there 70′s. founding a style does Not make you an automatic 10th, you are what ever your highest rank is
