Robert Keith English; phony Marine killer dude

| July 26, 2015

Robert Keith English hat

The folks at Military Phonies send us their work on this Robert Keith English fellow who runs the Tactical Martial Arts Academy.

According to some of his students, he has been telling wild and fantastic tales of his four-year career in the Marine Corps. You know, like the time him and his team went to Lebanon and wiped out a whole village, killing all but one person who could relate the massacre to other villages and spread fear among the locals. He has told them that he was a US Marine Force Recon killer (of course, isn’t everyone), SEAL qualified, trained with Special Forces, and if you don’t believe him, well, he’s got a tattoo to prove it;

Robert Keith English tattoo

Of course, the National Personnel Records Center says “Who?”

Robert Keith English FOIA USMC

The folks at Military Phonies were so sure that he had service, they hit up the Navy and the Army for a number of FOIAs, but there’s nuthin’. Got nuthin’. They went as far as to get affidavits from students because English had scrubbed the internet of his claims, but the statements are fricken hillarious, you should click over and read them.

I’m thinking we need to have some standards for the Awards because this batch isn’t even trying.

If the age is correct, he would have been 17 years old when he put on his war face and got medieval on the Lebanese village.

What a maroon.

Rob Deel

This made me LOL out loud!

Just read the affidavits on this assclown… wow! Makes Rambo and the Terminator look like Girl Scouts! “Reaper” is one bad mofo… when he goes online and plays “Call of Booty – Anal Buttsekks Ops”.

Need to get the media in his area in on this shit… wonder if there is a Dan Noyes eq

Not enough Caffeine this AM and hit the post button by accident.

Wonder if there is a Dan Noyes clone in the Richmond, VA area that would take this idiot on?

thebesig

12 On Your Side in Richmond contacted with details. :mrgreen:

Rob Deel

Oh they’ll especially like to expose him, as they were defrauded by him before.

thebesig

He’s in the Commonwealth of Virginia. At 48, he’s a member of the unorganized militia of the Commonwealth of Virginia. He was a member of the unorganized militia of the United States until a few years ago. The man couldn’t be proud of that. 🙄 Sheesh, some people’s kids just can’t have enough. 🙄

Dave Hardin

Odd, I don’t seem to remember seeing this idiot anywhere near Beirut. There was a guy named Reaper but it wasn’t this asshole.

Little Bobby here likes to claim he was deployed to a place at a time where most of us that were there know each other.

Another BUDS Marine. The always dangerous Marmooseal. He is in Shipley’s back yard that should go over well with the HAIR. People like this idiot are turning the HAIR haze grey.

Hey, Robert or Bobby or Knowshiti or whatever the hell you go by, knock your bullshit off shit stain.

Ex-PH2

Marmooseal? Marmooseal?? MARMOOSEAL????

Damn! Why didn’t I think of that!

Dave Hardin

You were obviously distracted by my charm and stunning wit. Try not to obsess on my suave and debonair ways.

Calm down, your breath will return soon enough.

Yef

Marmooseal?
I don’t get it.

Rob Deel

Dave, I love you long time!!!

Just an Old Dog

Actually he wasn’t the “Reaper” he was the “Reamer” and he wasnt in Beruit in 85.
He is confused. He actually was camping out in a Van in the parking lot of Jarret’s Truckstop off I-95 in Caroline County.
He would tongue-punch a trucker’s fart box for a grape nehi and a pack of nabs.
Reamer-6 was the handle truckers used on their CB radios to refer to him.

Instinct

You can tell he’s legit by the airsoft rifle and the tennis shoes. All REAL operators wear their white Converse when they are doing ops.

HMCS (FMF) ret.

REAL DEAL operators wear Chuck Taylor Converse All Stars hi-tops!

That seems to be the uniform of choice these days.

He forgot to paint over the orange tip of his deadly AirSoft rifle in that last pic.

That made me LOL out loud. Again.

Don’t forget the tattoo Lol….

What about the GP Medium tent set up in what looks like a warehouse, JUST LIKE doing Ops in a Combat Zone, ain’t it?

Hey, I bet he’s the pride and joy of his Airsoft Militia Unit!!

You know, because every Marine Recon can’t wait to get there own Army ACU pants.

The 3rd affidavit says he called himself a “meat eater”. That’s probably true.

When Jerry Partain found out he had been exposed as a fraud he told his boss he wasn’t feeling well and left work. Apparently, he went home, packed his shit, and completely skipped town.

Oh, look Knowshitti likes to pretend to be a cop. I will bet he likes to play badass around women too. He is sooooo scary.

He is just another Martial Arts clown that needs a spanking. He is a disgrace to those that actually some pride in it.

Well, that’s all I needed to see.

Nail him!

Agreed. He’s ALWAYS been a womanizer & considered himself a “playah”. Yo?

A Proud Infidel®™

That Shitbird isn’t flying so high with his bullshit now, is he? I wonder if he’ll be getting a visit from The Hair®™ anytime soon?

Ex-PH2

As always, I try to debunk fiction with facts. I viewed the stuff exposed to the Light of Day on the Military Phonies site and saw a katana and a leaf-bladed dagger, which looked rather familiar.

As I love history, any accurately reproduced historical weapon is of interest to me, so I went to the website of Museum Replicas and found, as I suspected, the dagger of Themistokles.

http://www.museumreplicas.com/p-2354-dagger-of-themistokles.aspx

I’m sure he got it from them, as well as the katana.

Does he really think he’s fooling anyone with this shit?

Ex-PH2

Oh, and while I’m at it, Museum Replicas does produce and sell accurately forged weapons of the past.

Joe Knesek

This dagger is a John Ek fighting knife that was reproduced by the American Historical Foundation. I own two of them. John Ek made the original fighting knife for Marine Raiders.

Jim Richard

It’s an Ek M4 Marine Recon Commemorative to be exact… The reason I know is because I purchased it along with a group of Robbie Recon’s students as a Christmas gift for him 2011… We believed him when he told us that he was a former Recon Marine… obviously we were wrong…

Keepin' It Real

If what you say is true, and even better if you have the receipt, this could be an even clearer slam-dunk case for Stolen Valor and the katana could be the smoking gun.

I’m sure there are other aspects to this case. Fraud, for instance, if students took classes under the influence they were getting an instructor with Marine Corps experience and that directly weighed into their decision to sign up for and pay for the classes. His experiences become their experiences if they say “I was trained by the best. An ex-Force Recon Marine.”

BUT, if he accepted a gift based on his Marine Corps stories then he has obtained something of value and/or profited directly.

Mr. Blue

The katana appears to be a replica of the one used in “Pulp Fiction”.

Mark L.

I love the movie aspects of his “service record”. He throws his own weapon away to use an enemy’s AK-47 and only gets “yelled at” for not returning with his issued weapon. Is told by a superior officer that he needs to put his gun in a secure place and he responds with “it is” and just walks away without any worries about insubordination, or violation of regulations charges because he’s such a badass.
Yeah, our RECON Marines are so important to us we can’t afford to get rid of any of them because they fuck up, or behave badly.

Hack Stone

Then he threw one punch at his Commanding Officer, immediately knocking him out. He turned to walk away, then building erupted in a massive explosion, to which he didn’t even look back. The music, performed by Survivor, swelled and the credits rolled.

..and then he went to rescue the President’s daughter?? I think I saw that movie..

Jim Richard

Are you suggesting that he would make a good “hollywood marine”?

Check out his resume on IMDB…

http://www.imdb.com/name/nm6716462/resume?ref_=nm_ov_res

SidneyBroadshead

He’s listed as a fight choreographer for a sci-fi B-movie called “The 19th” (released February 2015). One of the characters is a commando called The Reaper (played by Matthew J Sutphin). The synopsis mentions a bunch of other characters who are not in the cast listing.

Jim Richard

It’s a low budget direct to YouTube production that has yet to be released…

I’d bet good whiskey that a criminal background check would show that AirSoft is the only only thing he is legally allowed to possess. His dooshbaggery is more than skin deep.

What’s with all the ink these asshats get? I can’t understand this mindset. It’s one thing to tell BS stories to wide eyed suckers but to spend that kind of money to shine the turds? Really?

That what I’ve been saying I like tats, so I I can think of is it makes them easy to identify

If your going to get a tattoo as “proof” of service, wouldn’t it make more sense to get a tattoo of a DD214?

Bingo LMAO ! ! !

I can’t wait until the Security Blanket is lifted and I can tell everyone how I was the first Marine selected for the USMC Cyborg Interdenominational Combat Raid Team. We fought ghosts, aliens and all that stuff.

But, I can’t say a word about it. Not even a hint.

Grimmy

Interdenominational was supposed to be Interdimensional. We did have our Corpsman, so I suppose interdenominational fits too. And besides, being a good speller ain’t a qual for the Cyborgs.

Daisy Cutter

You spelt it good.

From his present bio on his martial arts company website:
“Certified United States Army Combatives Instructor Level 2”

“Professional Bounty Hunter and Trainer for 18 years with over 1500 Felony Arrests in 21 different States”

Wow.

A Proud Infidel®™

Maybe his auto-correct kicked in when he typed “Professional Blowjob Runner with over 1500 Fluffy Trysts in 21 different States” when he had a rare moment of truth?

B Woodman

Ok, who lives close enough to this meat gazer, to take a belt sander to that ink and remove it all the way to the bone?

11B-Mailclerk

Nah. drop him off with a busload of recruits at Parris Island. Let the friendly staff there “correct his deportment”. He leaves only after a) they actually turn him into a functional Marine, or b) they get tired of creative correction and kick him to the curb.

Video goes to Pay-per-view, proceeds to some worthy vet-support cause.

or just air-drop him in his supposed old stomping grounds. Add dron video coverage and pay-per-view as above.

Popcorn anyone?

According to the Tactical Martial Arts website, Kyoshi Keith English is a member of the FBI Mixed Martial Arts Team “The Blue Tigers”. I can’t seem to find anything on the Internet about an FBI martial arts team named The Blue Tigers. This guy blows, alright.

Jim Richard

The Blue Tigers is a MMA team founded by a group of agents at the FBI Headquarters in Washington, DC.

It is not an official FBI entity, it is a club that meets to train in various martial arts.

He was invited to teach a seminar they sponsored and they made him an “Honorary Instructor”.

Like so many other other aspects of his life he was was not content with being an “Honorary Instructor” and elevated himself to “Member”.

Hack Stone

Honorary member? Now, where have I heard that before? Does he know how to read a fuel gauge on an airplane?

Here is a patch for the FBI Blue Tiger Team. Don’t think he is a member, but they do exist.

Shocking, he didn’t like the comments about this so he has begun to delete them. I hate to have my comment deleted so I will leave it here:

I don’t remember this guy in Beirut. I checked with others that were there, nope, nobody knows who this guy is. There were not that many Marines in Beirut, most of us know each other. If you were there we either know you or know someone who does. Force RECON in Beirut? You could put all the Marines who were Force RECON and lived to talk about being in Beirut in that training room of his and still have plenty of room for the Marine Corps Band. He is claiming to be one of a handful of Marines. No he was not in Beirut, particularly toward the end or he would know me. Those of us that did serve don’t go around plastering that stuff all over our walls. We don’t need to remind ourselves about being there, not a day passes that we don’t think about it. His records are not classified, there is no such thing as a classified service record. Those of us that did have a Secret Clearance and served there have records of service that are available through a standard Freedom of Information Act request. Every time I see the daughter or son of a Marine who gave all in Beirut, the thought of people like him make me want to vomit. Better men than he could ever dream of being left everything they were or could have ever been at that damned place. Every time any one of you ever heard him make a statement about his military service he was spitting on the graves of my dead brothers.

Richmond, about an hour south of Quantico, where there are plenty of Force Recon Snipers and FBI agents who practice various forms of martial arts. This could get interesting.

Steadfast&Loyal

I went over to the nut job’s website to check out his dojo and training. Being a martial artist myself I have no idea how these guys get so many certifications and rankings.

I barely have enough time to be proficient in the one style I know and I’ve been doing it for 20 years! My instructor has 5 rankings (4 are Shodan rank) and he started when he was 18 and he’s 65 now!

Crazy. Don’t understand. I just don’t understand.

Hondo

Mail- or online-order certifications from questionable or nonexistent authorities (or outright forgeries obtained from “replacement certificate” sources) would be my guess. From what I can gather from perusing the fraud forum at bullshido.net on occasion, the martial arts community has as big a problem with LSoS making false claims as does the vet community. And there also seems to be substantial overlap between the two.

Well lookie here, it appears that little Bobbie’s father actually is a Marine. Not just any Marine either. His father attended Drill Instructor School in Sept 1958 and graduated.

Dad is 78 these days but I will bet anything he is about to bust little Bobbie’s ass for this.

I used to work with this POSer back in the day bounty hunting. I knew he was full of crap then. I saw his metals he pulled out of a coffee can. When I asked where the citations that went with them were, he looked at me like I had 2 heads. I knew it was a matter of time before the truth came out, I just didn’t pursue it. Glad to know it is flowing.

It appears that some of the people around him might have some integrity and honor of their own. Good on them.

GDContractor

Good on them for disassociating themselves. I see The Master still has all of his bogus credentials posted. I bet he would show us the certificate from his Army Combatives Instructor Level II training except for the fact is is all moldy from “the flood”.

According to the Wayback Machine, he was Certified United States Army Combatives Instructor Level 1 on May 24, 2102.

Everything that I read at this site: http://www.benning.army.mil/infantry/197th/combatives/content/BasicInstructor.html under the tab “Enrollment and Reporting” indicates that you must be a member of the military in order to take the courses and get the certification.

Jim Richard

His Army Combative certificates levels I through IV are on display in his office… while I cannot swear to their authenticity, I do know that they are there… That’s the problem with a liar, when you don’t know where the truth stops and the lie begins, you just assume everything is a lie..

Dave Hardin

Well, I have a prediction for you. Shit stain here will cling to his bullshit about being a Marine. His records are sealed or some bullshit like that.

They usually play the victim, try to deny everything, claim all those pictures and tats are just to honor those of us that served, it will be everyone else’s fault.

They rarely do, but every so often one of them actually steps up admits they lied and attempts to restore some dignity as a man.

This guy will not. He is a parasite, he buddies up to people so he can embellish his relationship with them to focus the light on him.

I will guess he uses the kids that attend his little classes for exactly that purpose. The poor kids will suffer. Ya, nothing about him being full of shit has anything to do with it.

Sick of these guys. Little Bobbie Bad Ass will piss and moan like a little bitch.

Just seen an update on a friend’s page….This asshat just admitted that he was NEVER in the service, and by saying “I’m sorry” at the last moment he could, apparently he got to keep his martial arts program. He is only sorry because he was caught, not because he knew it was wrong. He has lied all the way up to this point, holding tight to the lie and only after getting caught says sorry? Other posts state that he got his current business lease under the pretense of being military and that he even issued fraudulent Army Combative certifications to students recently. The announcement said he will make a public statement to apologize for his crap actions and lies….we shall see if that transpires. He is a LIAR, FRAUD, and a CON ARTIST and with these kind of people, you can never know if they ever tell the truth. Before you start believing, just remember he has stolen valor since he was a teenager…some 30+ years. I am disgusted beyond belief how he played everyone to save his own ass.

Seems he has changed his name on Facebook to “Senior Master Keith English” and has taken down Tactical Martial Arts fb page. So was his title “Kyoshi English” a lie too, or was the heat in the kitchen getting a little too hot ? smh

I want to take this opportunity to apologize for all the Pain and anger that I have caused with this very horrific event. I am deeply saddened by how many people this has effected and harmed. I never intended to harm anyone or show malicious intent towards our veterans. I wish I hadn’t taken the easy way out for so long. It took on a life of its own and I didn’t have the courage to stop it. I have nothing but respect for our service members and will do what I can to heal the pain that I have caused. In the bible it says,” When you forgive others who have sinned against you. You in return are forgiven of your sins. I ask for your forgiveness. I have learned a lot over these past couple of weeks and I intend to use the lessons I have learned to benefit others and help our veterans in anyway I can. God Bless our veterans and Thank you all for your service and commitment to this great nation.

Mr. English – While I applaud your effort with making this step, I noticed that there was no admission of wrongdoing.

If I desecrated a veteran’s grave and the parents saw me do it, would saying I’m sorry that they were upset about it and experienced pain by my actions be enough?

It doesn’t speak to whether I felt what I did was wrong, only that I felt bad they were upset and experienced pain over it. Do you see the difference?

“I admit that what I did was wrong” is only five words. You see now that it was hurtful, which you pretty much covered in your post.

Keith

Hey Daisy Cutter,

I do understand your point and I agree with you. I made a personal apology to this website over the phone. I made the best apology I could in this forum. It is never going to be enough. I didn’t do or say half the things they accused me of but it doesn’t matter. Everyone has made up their mind without being there. I appreciate your professionalism and I am very Sorry for everything I have done. I didn’t have to make an apology at all but wanted to take responsibility for my actions and mistakes

Dave Hardin

I appreciate you calling Jonn. I appreciate the fact that you have offered an apology of some kind. I appreciate you taking most of the bullshit off your webpages and social media.

It would appear Keith that you have enough on your resume that is legit to be proud of. You have a history of embellishing your achievements when there is no need for it.

It seems to have taken you a month in getting around to an apology. You made your false claims to people publicly. Making a public apology is only fitting. This is a start. Now post something on your web page about never being a Marine or in the Military.

Who knows, maybe people will appreciate that kind of humility and honesty. I still want to know what you plan to do about that tattoo of yours and when.

I took the honor of ordering your fathers military records just to see if your claims about him were true. Turns out he is a Marine and did serve at Parris Island as a Drill Instructor. Semper Fi to Dad.

Dave Hardin

One more thing English. In a previous post I said you didn’t have the balls to apologize and you were nothing more than a parasite that feeds on the Valor of others.

I WAS WRONG, it seems you did. I underestimated you. I take no joy in outing people who are Valor Vultures, I do take some joy in seeing the rare one step up and try to make it right.

I am a firm believer in trust but verify.

Daisy Cutter

Having not served in Beirut, it may be hard to appreciate the anger that was stirred up by some of your claims. Here is the truth, Keith English:

Most of those serving in RECON were lost in the bombing. Only a handful (6) survived but most of them with devastating physical and emotional wounds. One can’t hold a job due to the loss of a large chunk of his brain.

The survivors of Beirut speak for and defend the honor of the brothers that can no longer defend themselves. They are fiercely protective of the brothers that they lost and the Stolen Valor community has been particularly protective of this community of Marines.

John Tully, a RECON Marine from Beirut who was not there during the bombing but knew most of the men that were KIA, was particularly disturbed by false claims of Beirut of which there were many. John would help with the RECON history with some of these claims but since it disturbed him so much he was called upon sparingly. John lost his battle with internal demons and took his own life a few short months ago.

When they see false claims of Beirut service, many veterans of Beirut say that they don’t understand people that try to remember something they are so desperately trying to forget. They often add that they would gladly give away the horrors and bad memories that comes with service in Beirut in 82-84 and with the few Marines that served there beyond those years.

Hopefully this will give you a small glimpse of insight into the anger that your claims provoked. We can never fully understand another person’s anger, but we have to appreciate the fact that they are entitled to it in some circumstances.

Beirut is sacred ground for Marines.

Keith

Thank you Sir. You have really help me understand and I am grateful for your time to explain it to me. I have heard from so many great people that I have hurt. I am forever sorry.

CLAW131

“I am forever sorry”

Good. Now go do something honorable.

Honorable as in volunteer to be a member of the cleanup crew at either Fort Harrison, Glendale, or Richmond National Cemetery. While you’re there offer a heartfelt apology to every Veteran’s grave marker you encounter.

Start off with a 30 day stint and go from there. Or perhaps make it a life long endeavor.

Just an Old Dog

English,
You shattered your reputation and integrity the first time you opened up your pie-hole and lied about being a Marine.
You hopped off that wall yourself Humpty Dumpty.
In this case all the King’s Men not only can’t put you (actually your reputation) back together again, we could give 2 shits less about your reputation.
YOU have to atone and rebuild whatever reputation you had. Let this Blog be a reminder to you that whenever you try to get a new customer they can access your story through google and they will be wary of you.

KATO811

Why is is when you loser posers are outed that none of you can right out post the truth .Say I lied and I was caught. Funny how none of you are sorry until you get caught. Im thinking your sorry you got caught . Oh well this and other pages about your lies will be around forever The internet is good that way

MCPO NYC USN Ret.

The tattoo:

It must go! Now I am now not a surgeon, however I have good lawyers. Let’s make a deal. Either you have it covered 100% professionally or I do it with a US Navy MK 1 or 2, we film it and we blast it out on the interwebs!

Man up!

MCPO NYC USN Ret.

This was not a “horrific event”!

It was a “pathetic self-caused circus of scuttlefuckery”.

And you were to producer, director and sole actor in the entire show!

The apology sounds contrived!

KATO811

Forgive you ? NO FUCKIN WAY FROM A REAL BEIRUT VET

Dave Hardin

Ya, the Beirut bullshit of his was hard to read. The man got lucky and never actually said some shit like that to one of us in person.

Good to hear from you brother.

KATO811

You lied to all the veterans .Lets see if you have the balls to post a real apology (HERE) were we can read it ( IN ORDER FOR IT TO BE A REAL APOLOGY IT WILL HAVE TO INCLUDE THE WORDS THAT YOU LIED ). I was under the impression to be a teacher of martial arts you had to have some integrity guess that has changed

Keepin' It Real

ANATOMY OF AN APOLOGY

1. Admit wrongdoing. (Unless your attorney advises otherwise.)

2. Be sincere. Say the words: “I’m sorry”.

3. Express sorrow and regret. Ask for forgiveness. State that you will never do it again.

4. Be transparent and genuine.

5. Make a plan – How you’re going to make it right.

6. Follow through.

[NOTE: Please adjust rules for angry wife. Wait until she settles down and is clear of all sharp objects.]

CLAW131

I see that he has not yet visited/wiped some entries on his bio on the Tactical Academy website.

He still claims to be a Certified Military Combatives Association Instructor and a Certified United States Army Combatives Instructor Level 2.

Trying to verbally apologize about never being in the military doesn’t carry much weight when printed claims about being in the military are still visible.

Keith

Hey Claw, I appreciate your comments but those certifications don’t have anything to do with being in the military. Neither one of them claim military service and nothing on the site does either.

CLAW131

I must have failed reading comprehension 65 years ago because:

I thought Military Combatives and United States Army in a title implied that they were connected to the military.

Who’d a thunk it? The words Military and Army have nothing to do with being in the service.

But there you’re just starting the whole thing over again. Instead of simply saying “OK, duly noted, or thanks for the tip, or I’ll look into it”, you come on here and start dictating terms again. I would have thought you wanted to make a clean break, but I guess not.

Keith

Hey Claw, maybe you don’t realize that a lot of Army Combatives have been taught by civilians for years. You don’t have to be in the military or have served in the military to train soliders Combatives. Telling me to remove things off my site and misleading people into thinking that I am still claiming military service is not fair. I am NOT. I didn’t have to apologize on this site but did so to take responsibility for my actions and try to help heal some of the pain I have caused. I have commited myself to trying to make this right and that’s what I’m going to do. Maybe you should focus on the people on this site that have not apologized. Maybe you can inspire them to do so. That would be a positive thing. The more people that see how wrong and damaging this is, the less people will do it

“You don’t have to be in the military or have served in the military to train soliders Combatives”

Prove it, you lying bitch.

Green Thumb

Dude.

Go get on your Moped and putter away.

When your business goes broke because of your garbage bullshit, head south to All-Points Logistics.

They will take you in a minute.

I have been polite and given you sound advice.

Now, move along.

CLAW131

Who said I had to be fair? I’m not the one who lied for 30 years.

But what do I know? I was just a 20 year Army slug and can’t read. So I’ll just leave you to the Marines who you disrespected and pissed on.

I’m assuming (there’s that word again) that you believe your apology wipes your slate clean. I think not.

I have nothing further. Out.

Dennis - not chevy

Apologies without atonement are a waste of words.

Terry

“Senior Master” Keith English, you are so full of shit it boggles the mind. Please stop trying to blow smoke up everyones ass. You are a MASTER…a Master manipulator. You still associate yourself with the military references to make people assume you are something you are not. You were never military and never a police officer. You have fucking lied and have done so for 30+ years, and you continue to play games here to try and save your reputation and your business. You say one thing here, yet locally say that your family has been threatened, flyers are placed on cars, and that your business is suffering because of being caught? Lol. You know damn well you are lying again and trying to play the victim. You are only sorry for being caught!!!! You are the only one that ruined yourself. Please stop with the victim card!!! We are the ones you pissed on and YOU are the offender. But I guess you can’t teach an old dog new tricks like telling the truth. You think you are slick by lying to your students and family. You hand out forged fake combatives army combative certs and pocket the money…again pissing on the army’s hard work. I hope they pull up your application for those certs to see if you lied on the military service section. Personally I believe you should be in jail, not only for business fraud but also due to impersonating an officer and the theft from Ft Lee. Pissing on us again? In June you had people attend your army combatives class, I wonder how they like knowing now that you fucking changed the logos and signed them under your defunct police program. Fraud!!! Every step you take pisses on military service but you are now so sorry??? Its only because you were caught. You, sir, are a royal piece of shit. To this day you continue to lie to your loyal students, lie to the owner of your combat martial arts (Pellegrini) and lie to us here hoping that none of us cross paths and… Read more »

Keith

Hey Jim, Continuing to tell lies about me will not fill that whole in your heart. I hope one day you will see the error of your ways and change your life the way I have. The threatening of me and my children on local blogs and blackmailing me for money behind the scenes makes you the biggest hypocrite on earth. Don’t you worry how you will be judged by God? I do. I’m using this opportunity to change my life and the lives around me for the better and your lies and negative attitude can’t change that. I wish you good luck sir

GDContractor

Have you bought a belt sander yet? If not, GFY.

And, it’s a “hole” as in ASSHOLE, not “whole” you fucking moron.

A Proud Infidel®™

Hey Keith, WE KNOW YOU’RE SORRY, but have you done anything even remotely meaningful to apologize and atone for what you’ve done other than a few halfassed statements? And how about that tattoo of yours, you gonad-ogling little creampuff of a buck toothed Swamp Donkey? Are you still parading yourself around in ACU trousers with tennis shoes and the latest from some military slurpus store clearance shelf thinking it makes you look like some badass? DEEDS, NOT WORDS!

Terry

Jim, who the fuck is that? I know it must be it must be hard keeping track of the people you lie to, either that or you are trying a diversion tactic, but it will not work. Sounds like you have pissed off yet another person. The list appears to keep growing!

Since you have turned holy all of a sudden, you should know the verse “You reap what you sow”. Your seeds of deceit, lies and fraud are now in full bloom. From what I read in your post, and that coming from a liar, I will always bank on the opposite of what comes out of your mouth or keyboard.

Instead of trying to get off topic, why don’t you apologize to us that have served honorably and risked our lives for your sorry ass. Pull your head out of your ass and realize how many people you have lied to and pissed off, and trust me word gets around fast. Come on down to Ft Lee and see how welcomed you will be dickhead. Oh yeah, we also have a belt sander with your name on it!

Jim Richard

Terry… He thinks that you are me posting under an alias… He’s mad at me because I am the one that did the research that got him busted… I have never felt the need to hide from him so I find the fact that he thinks I need to hide behind an alias rather amusing… It goes without saying that he has no remoarse whatsover… Keith… I am not Terry… but you are a dumbass… Stop trying to blame everyone else for the situation you are in… admit that you lied… that you have lied in an attempt to cover up your lies… and take responsibility for your actions for once in your miserable life…

Jim Richard

Based on your comments, you sound like you have intimate knowledge of the situations surrounding Keith… I assume that you are from the Richmond area… We should probably talk… Feel free to contact me… I’m sure we have some friends in common that can put you in touch with me…

Terry

Ahhh, Jim! Like I said, he has lied to many people. Just amazes me that he still perpetuates his victimization on here, but pretends to be Johnny bad ass off radar. Talk about two faced…In my circle of former and current police officers, former and current military and fellow military instructors he has forever stained his reputation ALONG WITH EVERY organization he promotes on his website. My realtor friends actually trusted this guy, based on my referral much earlier, and they are now questioning me?? Fuck that! I feel like I inadvertently put them in harms way now!!!!! I will seek you out Jim, you sound like a man of integrity bringing this roach out into the daylight!

THOMAS HAYMAN

Wow I read this and think this guy is a real POS making everyone else fault for catching him ….I remember you from the VDF too bad I didn’t know this then I would have fixed it …..I hope you are striped of your Belt banished from the the Hapkido org of which you are a part …if not you can ad one more “accomplishment” to your list ..single handedly destroying an organization but being a dishonorable man with no integrity

ChipNASA

Keith,
This is for you.
I’m enjoying watching you go down.
You’re a piece of CRAP. Keep rocking the LIES!!
