Steve Demasco left USSD?

[SenseiShellie]

There was a statement made by GM M at, I believe it was, the Dec 2006 tournament in Irvine, that he opened his first USSD in 1968. I'm not sure where that school was located, but the comment was made. It's a real stretch to make that statement. Yes, the first school named United Studios of Self Defense was opened in 1968, and yes, GM M may have been there, but it wasn't 'his' perse, he may have been a black belt at that time, it was Nick Cerio and Fred Villari's ... maybe I'm wrong, I wasn't there, I don't have all the facts ... I doubt it.

The school in question was opened in 1968 in Waltham, MA on Moody street. It's one of the things I had to know for testing with FV.

On a side note, if you look at the F's on that tree, you'll find me on there too!

Heres a school thats affiliated with Grandmaster Tak http://www.georgetownmartialartscenter.com/

They have a 9th degree there Brain Hanson. Is he an ex Fred Villari guy?

He was EX FV and then became Ex USSD...however, I find it very hard to believe that he's a 9th already...considering that he was a 7th when he left USSD

So, one can start learning this shaolin system over the internet and start teaching in their school without being a certified instructor but with the full blessing of the organization and being listed as an affiliate . We all know what that leads to.

From his webiste

"The only requirement to be affiliated is that you are actively studying with us to become certified, via the internet, or personally with Grandmaster Steve DeMasco."

So yeah, I would to be to sure that you'd have to show up there at all.

If you want clarification, why not contact him yourself? I'm sure he'd be happy to explain it to you.
