Non-notable martial artist (self awarded high rank). Heavily promotional with a lot of unsupported hyperbole. Does not meet WP:MANOTE and has a few passing mentions. Peter Rehse (talk) 12:55, 12 April 2016 (UTC)

- Delete Creating your own system and giving yourself a high rank doesn't show notability (and is far too common). GNG is not met by passing mentions and I don't see evidence he meets WP:NACTOR. Mdtemp (talk) 14:51, 14 April 2016 (UTC)
- Delete Highly promotional and without the significant independent coverage to meet WP:GNG. He also fails to meet WP:MANOTE and WP:NACTOR to support the claims of being a notable martial artist and actor. The fact that he created his own martial art at 19 and made himself a 10th dan, apparently after briefly taking some classes in different styles, shows a knack for self-promotion but not notability.

- Delete as I found some links but nothing solidly convincing. SwisterTwister talk 04:05, 20 April 2016 (UTC)
