GREYSMITH INVESTIGATIONS

Bret Gordon has proven he has built his so-called history on nothing more than a convoluted bed of lies...and the problem is he can't even lie well. The latest “correction” of Bret Gordon’s own martial history is one of many and it is becoming increasingly common for him to do these when caught in a lie. For a person who has described himself as a historian and also a respectable journalist...he seems to make a lot of mistakes and has to make a lot of these corrections. So apparently Hatfield had no idea what his step-father William Sirbaugh looked like at any stage of history prior to the 1990's which led to them using a random  photo from the Moodukkwan Historical Archives online. Once debunked Gordon simply HAD to spin it for the best of appearances. Over time Bret has made so many corrections he has ultimately proven himself to be either  A.)

Throughout the time my predecessor Greg was operating under the pen name of Gerald Greysmith he encountered some of the worst people the martial arts world ever saw in the organization known as Konigun Ninjutsu. Bryce Frederick Dallas will always live in infamy for his criminal actions as well as his ill-fated lawsuit against E-Budo. Along with his friend Cayce Lancaster together they set out determined to tell the entire story of the man and his art.  An art he made up from scratch. Lasting from 1984 until 2009 officially, the death of Dallas in 2010 brought to a screeching halt the man and his aspirations.  It was as Greg would tell me years later a roller coaster of a ride to be on. The amount of information he and Cayce collected was enormous. And with that came a certain level of infamy towards him he would tell me. Though he didn't know it at the time Greg was being stalked across the internet by a man known under the moniker "Thunder Chicken," or as we all know him
