GOTTFRIED ROSER AKA JEFF ALLEN: HAPKIDO GUY OR FRAUD?

"The world's foremost talented, skilled, and highly educated Korean JuJutsu instructor. CQC/CQB" - Gottfried Roser
Whew!!!! there is something that smells like bullshit in Plano, Texas and I can smell it from here.....Anytime you make the sort of claim like Gottfried Roser above.....you might want to make sure people actually know who the fuck blazes you are, otherwise you're just a loud mouth idiot, a wannabe or just yet another fucking all around lying douche nozzle. Yep the martial arts unfortunately is home to the martial art instructor con and all its forms, from embellishments in rank to self promotion and advertising. Some like Gottfried Roser aka Jeff Allen run it by the numbers.

"I am a combat experienced military veteran the majority of my adult life, worked law enforcement with Homeland Security and lived in Korea & Japan for 10 years where I was attacked almost everyday in the streets by knife wielding GangPae(Yakuza)." -Gottfried Roser

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof....Thats the nature of the martial arts business. Some pull off their bullshit for awhile bit sooner or later they get called out. The best and only response is to simply back up your claims with proof i.e credentials...not just boastful diatribe. Gottfried Roser aka Jeff Allen seemingly can't provide proof of ANY of what he claims and offers no credentials. Roser/Allen was asked to provide some proof of what he boasts online, however, he choose to evade questions that normally anyone would ask about ANY Martial arts instructor. What is so difficult about showing your credentials? Answer: Nothing. Roser/Allens appear to be non existant, a fabrication, nothing more than smoke and mirrors....and using different aliases is an indication that they are hiding something.

Under the name Gottfried Roser he claims to be the President of his own "World Renowned" federation. Though this might impress some who aren't familiar with the shady practices of some instructors. It's an area of concern for others who are familiar. Roser could very well promote himself, "inflate" and embellish his own rank under his other name Jeff Allen and most wouldn't be the wiser to it.

Another claim that Roser/Allen makes is that he trains military and law enforcement personel. Every other tactical and combatives instructor I know who does actually work with Military and LE groups has no problems proving that they do or showing their qaulifications for purposes of verification. They damn sure don't go around SAYING they do it in secret....BIG RED FLAG THERE! There isn't a single picture of him actually training any of these types.



Several of Roser/Allen's advertising practises are extremely shady, embellishing and misleading. A ploy to trick and fool the unsuspecting and unknowing potential student. When asked about his background and other practices dealing with his school Roser/Allen was purposely vague and avoidant and blocked those inquiring about proof of his qaulifications. Rosier even complained later on his on facebook page about being bullied. All this drama in lieu of showing his credentials and qualifications.....something isn't right in Plano, Texas.



Bottom line here is that someone who boasts like this and then has literally no way to verify their expertise is a person to stay away from. Not being able to answer or verify certain things is common practice for a fraud its definitely sign of fraudelent advertising. There is enough here in the case of Roser/Allen to indicate that something just isn't ringing true about him and his Roser Martial arts Academy.

Using an alias is normally done to hide something about a person's background, a criminal record, maybe the guy owes money or just simply isn't the qualified instructor they claim to be. In any case the use of aliases makes it difficult to verify anything about the instructor. Lucy! You got sum explaining to do!

There was an instructor here locally who bounced his location around alot. He would be in one location for several months then close down and pop up in another. The guy would use an alias, a diffrent name, rename his school each time. Come to find out the instructor would get himself evicted for not paying his rent, stiffing his lease holder for months and months of unpaid rent. This reflected badly on the other martial arts instructors in the area. There was even another who had a after school program for kids he used an alias to hide his arrest record which would have prevented him from having an after school program. So the use of an alias doesn't reflect well for those in the know.

The pictures he posts to help advertise for his school on his fb pages all appear to be random pictures he found from other websites from instructors or organizations who actually train military and LE personel, misleadingly giving the impression that he works closely with them when in actuality he probably doesnt. He currently uses a picture from Blauer Tactical suspiciously Tony Blauers name was cropped out the ad( pictures below). One can plainly see Roser/Allen uses Tony Blauers intellectual property and trade marked system to advertise his own school. Most would not have caught this but I personally am a Spear system instructor with Blauer tactical.



Back in 2002 in an open public forum Roser/Allen was challenged and questioned about his statements regarding his lineage and technique and found to be utterly full of shit. He even backpedaled from his statements and promised to correct and make revisions to his claims. Roser/Allen has known full well from at least 2002 that his Authentic Hapkido jibberish was utter nonsense - but despite that fact has obviously continued with it never the less.

Allen claimed that his teacher a ninth dan trained with Choi in Hapkido starting in 1949. The fact of the matter is Alllen's instructor never trained under Choi, Yong Sul, never got a ninth dan, or even it appears an eighth dan and essentially was an Aikido instructor of some minimal standing. Allen has backhanded and downplayed many other Hapkido practitioners while knowing full well that he has been lying and deliberately misleading or trying to mislead anyone who reads or listens to his martial arts tripe..

For those unfamiliar with Hapkido, it is a Korean art, but created by someone who lived in Japan and studied under the founder of aikido. So it is not strange that a lot of the throws of aikido can be found in Hapkido. But it is a new art and not just another form of aikido because some traditional strikes and kicks from Korean arts were added in. Hapkido is a well- rounded art of striking and throws.

Years ago in different martial arts forums such as e-Budo, Roser tried to say that there were no kicks in Hapkido until he was shown a video of the founder doing them. It is strange that a man who claims to have trained at the heart of Hapkido and achieved its highest levels of skill would be unaware of this basic fact. The videos of him on Youtube seem more like the flow drills of aikido, without the kicks or strikes that are indeed associated with Hapkido. Speaking of which, even the kanji in the background of his video says aikido. It may be the same as used in Korea, but it is a red flag to me. Add to this his use of a name other than Hapkido for what he did for years and you can understand the suspicion surrounding his claims.

His video isn't bad, but it is a typical example of a compliant uke. No resistance and chreographed but not even remotely realistic. It would be good for demonstration of something, but not as a combat example....which is of course strange considering Gottfried/Roser's claims of being a CQB instructor teaching military personnel.

Roser/Allen posted on his on fb that he has no problems with these embellishments....I think that his actions might go beyond misleading embellishments and more into the realm of plagiarism or copyright/trademark infringement for which he could be liable for damages for, but I'm no attorney.

For me it's abundantly clear Roser/Allen isn't what he claims....his claims are highly suspect...his advertising is shady, misleading and cholesterol full of embellishment...... more than.enough to prove to me that he certainly isn't what he claims to be nor is he a combatives guy who trains the military and LE personel. Its obvious that what he actually does is more of a strip mall dojo aikido and not like what you would see in Korea....its certainly not Hapkido. I would love to see this guy walk in to an open mat with his "strip mall dojo aikido" and actually roll with someone, a judo guy, an actual combatives guy, he would get his ass handed to him very quickly.....NUFF SAID.

Recently I had a run in on Facebook with a guy calling himself Gottfried Rosler. His real name is Jeff Allen. During a discussion about someone on PCP being shot by the police, he said he teaches officers to deal with such suspects without weapons. When I answered a typically sarcastic response, he shot back, "I am a combat experienced military veteran the majority of my adult life, worked law enforcement with Homeland Security and lived in Korea & Japan for 10 years where I was attacked almost everyday in the streets by knife wielding GangPae(Yakuza)."

The math comes to about 3000 knife attacks. When I called him on it, in a group called BS Martial Arts, he went ballistic. He broke every rule he could and did all the things we associate with frauds. I ended up blocking him after a few harassing messages sent my way.

But that is the thing, when you act like a fraud you attract attention from others. Gottfried had no problem with the rules, or what we did at BSMA for years. He even sent me a note a few years back trying to sic me on someone. Yet, when his comment is challenge he reverses himself and starts yelling himself horse.

So, people started looking into his background and claims and found they were pretty dubious. A friend put together the following blog,

https://ninjerkiller.blogspot.com/2018/05/gottfried-roser-aka-jeff-allen-hapkido.html?m=1

The responses are pretty telling. Gottfried tries to intimidate everyone with threats of various sorts. Claiming to be a private investigator, he says he is going to run background checks on us all. I am told that such an action for personal use is a crime. And of course he does what we expect most frauds to do when he made the following statement.

“Grandmaster Roser has never done anything to you guys accept post a funny thing on the internet that you guys blew out of proportion and now you'll be hearing from the lawyers. You can either remove this from the Internet or receive a letter from our lawyers to cease-and-desist or be taken into a civil court for libel and slander if this happens to affect his business or reputation in anyway, online or in real life. I hope you really enjoy slandering people that you have no idea about. Therefore, we strongly suggest you remove this from the internet immediately as it has already been forwarded to a private investigator and to our lawyers.”

Incidentally, the above seems to be written by Gottfried referring to himself in the third person.

What gets me is that anyone that has spent as much time at BSMA as Gottfried has should know that we view threats of a lawsuit as prima facto evidence that the person is a fraud and is trying to hide something in his past. They fear the truth being spread. And such threats have little chance of ever coming to pass.

Threatening a lawsuit with the guys at BSMA is like throwing chum to the sharks. Now there are dozens of people looking into his background and setting up blogs and such, many outside the country.

Whatever the truth really is, Gottfried’s behavior and silly statements about his abilities did him in. Yes, it looks like a lot of what he says is bunk, even going so far as to falsify student endorsements, fibbing about his military service and of course making up stories about facing knife wielding gangsters on a daily basis. But we have seen that people that act like he do aren’t honest and trustworthy people. He was fine with us going after others, even encouraging me to go after someone I suspect was a local rival to his business. But when his statement was questioned, he started a chain of events that will probably keep going for a long time as people keep looking deeper and deeper into his ludicrous claims.

If he had laughed and tried to explain things calmly, we would have listened. Too late for that now.

Red Warrior Entertainment and its American owner announced the Tongan cabinet had given it a gaming license. Source: 1 NEWS
It follows yesterday's announcement by an American group that it has been granted the country's first gaming licence.
Red Warrior Entertainment and its American Indian owner Ronald Pate offer religion, gambling and film-making, promising much.
"We want to let everyone know that we're going to create a slate of 12 Indian films," Mr Pate said.
But they're delivering little. There's sparse information about his self-proclaimed multinational company.
1 NEWS tried to ring Mr Pate but the numbers provided go to a message service. For a company which works around the world in a number of countries it's surprisingly hard to make contact with anyone, 1 NEWS Pacific correspondent Barbara Dreaver reported.
"I think it's very dubious. Unless there are other organisations with the same name that I couldn't find, I think it would lead one to be suspicious," said Professor Max Abbott of AUT's Gambling Research Centre.
The company yesterday announced the Tongan cabinet had given it a national master gaming licence, even quoting the cabinet decision number.
But today the Government said it has rejected the request for a gaming system as it's illegal in Tonga.
"Government in Tonga has said they haven't given them permission to set up a casino. So it's a little ambiguous as to what's going on," Professor Abbott said.
But it appears the Government has given Red Warrior Entertainment approval for a development project which includes building hotels.
Tonga's churches are condemning any prospect of gambling being part of that.
"The Free Wesleyan Church) does not support casino and gambling. That's not our Christian belief. We will have social problems, problems seen with people overseas," said Reverend Tevita Haukinima, Free Wesleyan Church treasurer.
