What kind of a man does it take to put out such a "BAMF image" to make an income from it, when members of your previous team lost their lives. Yeah, that's honorable.Funny thing about being a BAMF, there is always someone bigger and badder. In James Yeager's case, it was a couple uneducated, third world people who couldn't effectively hit the broad side of a barn (or a manual transmission, I'm not sure).
I'm lost. What exactly happened?
Sadly there are many of them out there.
I'm one of the most experienced people in my area of expertise and I teach a lot and have other people teach under me (I "train the trainers"). But I don't go around promoting myself all the time so I can often slip in "under cover" and it's fun to watch the people who try to name drop the people they trained under, not knowing that those are the people I taught, and I have a pretty good idea of how good an instructor that person is or isn't.
Knowing a subject well is only a small portion of being a good instructor. There's a lot of people teaching out there who know a subject well but who are **** poor instructors. Some of the best instructors I have under me are the people who are only mediocre at the subjects, but who really understand and relate to the students and can get the students to understand at a fundamental level.
I dunno, I'm still awaiting the Cliffs Notes version.
To put off a persona and create controversy which sells more classes...I'm starting to understand why the guy acts the way he does.

I find it funny how people wish to "support" him or his methods for similar reasons, but then...you don't hear so much complaining about good instructors like Ayoob. Perhaps there is something to that...
It will die out....if people LET ITSo, what is the something to that? I wonder why it's so important to run him down? Perhaps there is something to that... This is just getting old to me.
I especially like how he deletes posts on his pages of anyone who doesn't agree with him or calls him out. Such an honorable way to ensure your self-righteousness to everyone else.All I know is that I'd not paid any attention to him until some folks kept posting videos of him here ad nauseum. Looking at a couple of those videos pretty well turned me off to him and I can't call him professional based on those. And then seeing how he throws tantrums and makes threats at people on his facebook site, well, this ignorant civilian can't help but give some credence to those folks who claim he's a shameless self-promoter, and I seriously question his qualifications as an instructor. Again, based solely on how he presents himself since that's my only contact with him prior to his sudden appearance on this site. I'm not going to "run him down," but he doesn't have my respect based on how he's presented himself. For whatever little that's worth to anyone.
