What are the moderators credentials as they relate to martial arts, self-defense, law enforcement, military, and warriorhood?
As near as we can tell from his website (http://www.themartialist.com/staff.htm) and past statements on his website and forum: Law Enforcement Experience: 0 Years Military Experience: 0 Years Legal Experience: 0 Years Martial Arts Experience: This is murkier. He claims to have trained since 1990 but it appears he has never held a senior rank in any style (black belt or equivalent experience) nor has he ever been an instructor. He also has no amateur or professional fight record. He does claim to be a co-founder of his own martial art Shanliang Li though (http://www.shanliangli.com/). Oddly, considering he co-founded the style, he was only given a brown sash instead of a senior rank black sash as would be found in other traditional Kung Fu styles.
