I ran across some posts from a guy calling himself Rob Dorsey on another forum (SBG Sword Forum) and find his posts rather suspicious... he claims to have studied Muso Shinden Ryu, Katori Shinto Ryu, and Koryu Bujutsu.
Attached below are some of his posts that I was able to find, but I couldn't find the one post where he mentioned that he was starting up is own dojo/making his students call him Sensei... he also stated in that post that he was using extant materials from his previous (and self admitted very little) training in the above arts. Included in his curriculum are also some "newly developed techniques" he's supposedly discovered/rediscovered.
There's not really any mention of his dojo or JSA training on the internet that I've been able to find other than his personal web page about his science fiction writings and his music business.
I hate talking negatively about other people/martial artists, but there's something really odd about his topics (and how he basically sits back and lets other members of the forum argue about the validity of what he's posted) and his attitude towards JSA/life in general... Anyway, I just wanted other's opinions on the matter and see their perspective.
Here are the topics he's written about JSA/swords recently:
