Anyone is welcome to verify Mr. Passmore’s credentials.  From time to time, rumors will surface from people around Waco who have studied some form of martial art saying that this school is not legitimate or is no good or is bad for kids, etc.  Please just consider the source and judge for yourself.  Pick up a copy of our book on Emotional Self Defense and read how people use Con Games to take the focus off of themselves.
