Stephane Labastie To-Shin-Do Shodan Demo Feb 2008 at the Tampa Quest Center Mark Russo: Dean Mr. John Giancarlo: Chief Instructor 15049 Bruce B. Downs Blvd. Tampa, Florida 33647 Phone: (813) 971-5545
@deaneichlerisdead THOSE ATTACKS ARE A BIT WEAK....not stephanes fault though.... and when someone is good they can make it look easy! but i agree the attacks should have been more realistic...and i think she could absolutely handle real attacks!
Totally ridiculous. Unrealistic attacks at slow speed with no resistance (e.g. 1:34 just drops his hands). I met Russo several times and I am completely shocked by this, as I expected a lot more from his students. This will get you killed in the real world. Toshindo seems to live up to its bad reputation. No wonder the "founder" Hayes got kicked out of the Bujinkan by his former teacher Hatsumi. That was not a black belt test, that was a bad joke...
A sincere congratulations on a job well done. I look forward to following in your footsteps as I test for my Shodan at the Winter Quest Seminar w/ An-Shu next January. Again, great job and To-Shin!
