I was looking for a new school to train at for self defense and came across Steve Blackmans fighting systems in Harrisburg Pa. Hes got this kid that gives private lessons for 20.00 an hour and seminars for 200.00 an hour and you need to book two hour blocks. I did some digging on him and come to find out he’s got a total of 2 years experience in mma. His 4-1 record he brags about is all amatuer fights and his 9-0 submission record is from two grappling events with 9 matchs total. Not 9 different events. His bragging has no limits, and he holds no belt of any kind in any art and has never trained in any BJJ school. So for all you people looking for something new, and your around Harrisburg Pa. look out for and don’t be fooled by Jeff Smith.
The mods will be with you shortly.
In the interim, please post a link.
here’s what i found:

whats wrong with him?
seems legit enough.
Probably McDojo if the prices the OP was mentioning are to be believed, and very bad lighting on the photographs, but other than that, I don’t see anything screaming bullshido.
Welcome to bullshido.

No cursing in the thread titles.
You also need to lay out exactly where the fraud or lie are detailed. What false claims he has made etc. -
Who are you? A student, a prospective student, a competitor?
Please change your post to a include what you claim is BS.
We have four, semi active to active, MABS thread with people that have no records. Actually, we have five if I looked for the other one with the guy who only had one fight. This guy is 4-1 and has actually entered two grappling events? Please, try harder. I’ve seen much worse.
I’m 7-3 with four grappling events…he is 9-0 with just two. This tells me they were good sized events (NAGA maybe?), and he won!! How is that bad?
This guy probably has an agenda.
Off to YMAS until, he can fix his op.
You have 48 hours until, it gets shunted into trollshido.
In the event this gets trollshido’d, can you change the title to “Nerd Alert: Spirithawk”? That would be fun.
Why don’t you just challenge school owner Steve “The Perfect Weapon” Blackman to a steel cage Singapore Cane Match at Summerslam.
Spirithawk,
Did you see this guy train?
Because Blackman was best as a member of Head Cheese, and no one wants to be spirithawk’s tag partner.
this is actually me, come in and roll and spar with me anytime for free…then please update these people when you get outa the hospital…also my record is now 5-1.
Original Title: BS Alert-Jeff Smith.
20 bucks an hour is a fucking steal. i charge 65 an hour. then again, those that can’t…
I charge $100.
Hey Jeff did you actually train with Blackman?
i do train with blackman, he knows alot of catch wrestling. Ive also train at atleast 3 different schools throughout PA also train with Daniel Beleza two time world BJJ champ several times. I dont claim to be the best locally but very rarely do i every get tapped out by anyone. This guy must have just had beef with me because im a a**hole to people that wana fight but dont put in the hard work, or it could very well b a local gym owner that dosnt want me taking his buisness so he’s tryn to make me look bad.
The quote you’re looking for is; " Those that can, do. Those that can’t do, teach."
I love that guy… Why is this in Sheerdog?.
