Dear Soke,
In light of recent articles around the Boston Shinkendo Dojo, and some of the complaints of former students.
Does the ISF have a formal comment or position on such behavior by its instructors?
Certainly a validation or check on the reported circumstances is in order, don't you think?
Or will the ISF simply ignore these reports as simply Internet negativity?
I believe if they do so it reflects poorly on the living legacy of the great Kaiso.
People really want to believe the ISF is a reputable organization.
Please don't let them down.
