Lol slightly off topic, but I remember when I was 5 or 6 years old when I first heard the term "Guerrilla", as in guerrilla warfare. At the time re runs of the TV show of planet of the apes was on. I remember asking my dad if we were actually at war with apes and would we be ok!

I was around the same age, and the adults were talking about the guerillas fighting Marcos, and also the book, "American Guerilla in the Philippines."  I also had "Planet of the Apes" ideas but my dad explained to me what a guerilla was.

What was scary, though, was that just a few years ago I was talking to a girl in her mid-20s, and I mentioned guerilla warfare and she asked me how they train gorillas to use guns and fight.

See Keith .. It was alright ok, It was bad technique alright. We call this problem a "communication twirk". OK, Alright we saw it and it was boring ok. it was alright for the first opening credits ok. We were going kick the screen in alright. Ok Ok Alright and thats all we heard alright. It was like jerking off with a cheese grater. Alright it was painfully amusing. But so annoying alright. This is how he talks every 3 word is alright ok or ummmm. We couldnt stand it alright. I was so annoyed by the over usage of the word alright and ok.
He look like a Jersey shore guido that should wear a wife beater shirt.

It was annoying very very very very irratating. We gave it about 3 mins and turned it off. Then the rest of the weekend Geoff and I were making fun of him. With responses like alright and ok.

It was one of the worst instructional i have ever seen.

There was so many alrights and ok it almost seemed like a parody or joke.

Loved by the thousands of soldiers, police officers, doctors, lawyers and regular folks he has trained, Captain Chris Pizzo is a self defense instructor who has become an icon and leader in the self-defense industry.
A U.S. Grappling Gold Medal Champion, Chris has a remarkable 147 trophies and medals in karate, judo, Brazilian jiu jitsu, and boxing. Pizzo will share his personal story of triumph in the martial arts with conference attendees.
Chris will be sharing the secrets he used to build an 8 MILLION Dollar a Year Martial Arts Company

[Hock]

It was supposed to be in September, 2008.

Just curious - know anybody that went? Did it even happen at all?
(if there weren't enough pre-regs, it might not have "made.")
I know Pizzo was supposed to have a big free seminar in Florida, maybe it was in Sept. (I can't recall) and it was canceled. Its hell when you have to cancel a free seminar. Even the homeless need to get inside and use the restrooms sometimes.

Does anyone believe that Pizzoro made 8 million dollars a year?
And is the prized darling icon of all those thousands of soldiers, people, etc?

(ya know, we need to get our buddies at Bullshido cranked up on Mcfizzle, especially the part of the medals in BJJ.)

[JimH]

NAPMA 2008 happened,but I do not see Pizzo listed as having been an attending participant.

I did find a Pizzo Bio which now claims that he was in ROTC when he came down with a form of cancer.
Wonder how this short ROTC experience allowed him to become a LT in charge of teaching killing techniques which were too DANGEROUS for the Army, to now Capt Chris ??

8,000,000 dollars a year LOL,LOL
We are to believe he sold 27,000 of his 300 dollar tape sets a year
(I have the clips l,what a load of crap)

Here is this BS artists New Self Described Bio:

And Scroll down!

[JimH]

I have written on this site,and others,for a long while that Pizzo NEVER served in the Military ,Period.

I do not know what the NJ group said as some said he never served ,some said nothing,they just wanted him forgotten.(similarly to Damien  Ross)

Pizzo's sales pitch was his being an Officer in the Army,serving in intelligence,and having tried and learned various arts ,learning and developing the LETHAL Killing tactics the army was afraid to touch,lol.

Now he comes out with his several weeks of ROTC as his complete ARMY Time.
(how does this equate to LT and Capt Rank ?
Get this pony for cashing in on stolen Valor.
(probably why he has come clean now,afraid of prosecution,most likely never served the several weeks in the HARD ROTC Army training claimed either)

PURE BS
And NAPMA brings this Phony BS artist in as a subject matter expert in the field of Marketing Martial Arts ??

[Brian S]

Damian Ross was as valued a member of the "Wolf Pack!" (grrrrr.... grrrrrr....) as anyone.  All he did was make some money.

Then he was disowned AND suddenly classed as someone without the required training or experience.

Did the "Wolfpack!" (grrrrrrr.... grrrrrrrrrrrrrr) have a time machine?

[Hock]

I thought Ross was the American Heir-apparent of Cestari?

Or, am I getting people mixed up?

Hock

No, Clint Sporman is.

[JimH]

My understanding is that Carl felt sorry for Ross.
That Cestari taught him his version of WWII combatives and his version
of Jujitsu.
My understanding is Ross actually spent little time with the Wolf pack.
Ross wanted money so Carl ranked him in jujitsu so Ross could open his school.
Shortly after Ross got permission ,more or less,to sell Carl's material.
Ross then went into business with Pizzo,against Carl's wishes.
This was seen as a student and supposed friend taking advantage of a person who cared about him,wished him well and a Friend who also happened to be this guys instructor.
Ross screwed Cestari,Pizzo supposedly screwed Ross,so the circle of screwing goes.
Now Pizzo is A self proclaimed subject specialist,the subject being Martial Arts and Marketing.LOL.
