Fraud Files Guide
Fraud Files Guide
The core archive for the names that keep turning up.
This is the main lane for personalities, schools, and systems whose authority depends on myth, inflation, fraud, or stories that stop making sense once someone checks the evidence.
What to watch for
- Claims built overwhelmingly on self-reporting.
- Biographies that grow more cinematic as evidence gets thinner.
- Rank, lineage, or tournament stories doing most of the marketing work.
- Public authority that depends on mystique instead of documentation.

Using this martial arts fraud guide
This martial arts fraud guide is a method, not a blacklist. Start with the advertised claim. Then look for the teacher, organisation, date, event, licence, document or independent witness that should exist. The more spectacular the claim, the less sensible it is to accept a self-written biography as sufficient proof.
A modern system may be perfectly legitimate when described honestly. The problem begins when invented history, private paperwork and grand titles are used to sell it as something it is not.
