The recent Tameshigiri party that got shit for brains Shafty in such an uproar and forced the soke of the ISF to issue an overbearing (antifa) style declaration on Face Book about what people are allowed to do in their personal lives made me remember a story that one of the former Boston Shinkendo student told me on one of the monthly calls.The student donated a few boxes of brand new tatami mats for a planned dojo event that never materialized. When he brought the mats to the dojo, rather than leaving them their and putting them in the storage closet till.needed, Shafty brought the mats home, and the proposed event where they would be cutting these mats was delayed, and week after week it was delayed again with some new excuse, the class new it was all bullShit, and that Shafty used these mats at home to probably teach his kids how to cut after their absolutely miserable performance last time they did Tameshigiri.
The mats were valued at about $200, not a huge amount of money, and since Shafty proclaimed to the students on many occasions how “well off “ he is, you would think this cheap ass jerk would spend his own money to train his brats, rather than using materials donated by the students for the students.
A few months later and after never holding the event the student, Shafty picked an argument with the student who donated the mats and they parted company.
To this day, those mats never appeared in the dojo, and no Boston Shinkendo ever got to practice with them.
Nice huh?
This is the guy who promotes a family friendly dojo...
What an absolute disgusting place.
