Their is the possibility that he just took to it that well, but IMO part of the "black belt levels" is time and practice. Also, with the exception of claims made by a founder, two schools in the same style can be completely different from one another and therefore a style shouldn't in itself be bashed. Now when a founder of a style makes extravagent claims the style will come under fire, but I've seen two Okinawa Kempo schools that was apart of the same style and could almost not recognize them. So what I'm saying is that though a schools curriculum may be suspect a style shouldn't be.
