Subject: Scott Shields Author: Jim Wallford [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 20:07:44 11/09/11 Wed Please visit the link, Scott Shields is a fraud, he is NOT a BLACK BELT in Brazillian Jiu Jitsu. Marcus Renato is NOT a real person. (He cannot prove otherwise) He has NO BJJ Titles. Brazillian Jiu Jitsu is a VERY SMALL community, and black belts are KNOWN. He is not one. Please visit the link and see for yourself. http://www.mixedmartialarts.com/mma.cfm?go=forum.posts&forum=1&thread=1885139&page=28 THIS IS A WARNING FOR ANYONE IN HIS AREA in 2008 Stephen Koepfer (President, American Sambo Association) wrote to scott and asked who graded him and he never got a reply. Stephen seems to be a person that deserves an answer and asked nicely, but according to the thread never got a response?? Interesting... http://www.worldwidegrappling.com/archive/index.php?t-1860.html [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

[> Subject: Re: Scott Shields Author: Kyle [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 20:17:45 11/09/11 Wed The IBJJF has responded to me that they have no such Marcus Renato in their system. Carlson Jr. has also personally verified that no such Marcus Renato is in their system. The same Marcus Renato that Shields claims on his website no doubt.

[> Subject: Re: Scott Shields Author: Jason T [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 16:20:58 11/20/11 Sun This is clearly an attempt to discredit the reputation of someone who has been in the community for over 20 years teaching. Scott Shields is a certified instructor under Bruce Lee's protege Dan Inosanto and under legends like Erik Paulson, Larry Hartsell and Remy Presas. You think he needs to make up someone? The guy was teaching grappling before most of us were even thinking about the martial arts! I read the thread. You guys are a joke at best and a poor disrespectful example of the martial arts. Hell, most of the guys in the Charlotte area have gotten their start in the martial arts because of him. Show some respect! [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> Subject: Re: Scott Shields Author: Dave Land [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 20:05:02 11/27/11 Sun Sorry, Sifraud Sheilds posted his certifications on his website. Its appears he attended a Seminar by Paulson and is not a certified instructor , that has been proven. Its also looks to be Photoshopped. and yes, Marcus Renato does not exist. He's a JKD guy that bullshitted his BJJ black to steal peoples money. Sad. His behavior on this thread speaks for itself using his family to hide behind to continue his lies. Anybody that has gone to his school would be smart to consult legal counsel. http://www.mixedmartialarts.com/mma.cfm?go=forum.posts&thread=1908826&forum=1&page=1&pc=814 [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> Subject: Re: Scott Shields Author: Zeke J [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 23:11:25 11/26/11 Sat No. I cant show respect to someone who makes up so many fraudulent claims. He is scamming people out of their money with his lies. He discredits his own reputation by constantly lying. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> Subject: Re: Scott Shields Author: Jason T [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 11:36:23 12/02/11 Fri He has been an instructor under Erik Paulson in CSW for years! That is NOT a seminar certificate! Ask Erik yourself? Those picture were a joke played on some kids running a mma website. They ran with it and we all had a big laugh about it at the academy. It took eight of us to make it all happen. He is a legit instructor in bjj, kali, jkd, thai boxing and many oher arts. come try him instead of talkng. He is a respectful and an amazing teacher. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> Subject: Re: Scott Shields Author: OGH [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 00:52:27 12/18/11 Sun He is NOT listed as an instructor under Dan Inosanto, he has a link to the site on his own website. Scott Shields is NOT LISTED AS A JKD INSTRUCTOR! [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> Subject: Re: Scott Shields Author: Immanuel (Ortiz) [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 07:20:05 12/13/17 Wed He was a student under Dan Inosanto. I've seen pictures of them together. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> Subject: Re: Scott Shields Author: Jason [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 00:43:41 01/04/12 Wed If you want the real deal, go to Scott Shields Martial Arts Academy. All I will say is check it out and see what you think. Real world self defense and no egos. Very clean and very professional. Top Notch! [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> Subject: Re: Scott Shields Author: Benson [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 17:41:15 03/10/13 Sun Scott Shields is definitely not top notch or even worth checking out. Jason is another one of his groupies or maybe even Scott himself. Check out this post I just found on Scott Shields and some other Charlotte area BJJ fraudsters: http://screamingreviews.com/warning-of-fake-bjj-instructors-and-blackbelts-in-north-and-south-carolina/ [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
