What proof would you like? Not that the onus is on me to provide it.
I can tell you first hand, from David Dye a cop with Costa Mesa for 34 years that Wagner was NOT on their SWAT team and only ever achieved the rank of green belt. Do you want me to have David write a letter to that effect? What will that achieve? You'll just say we're making it up.
Why don't you ring the Costa Mesa Police Chief and verify whether or not he was what he claimed? His military records are public record here in the States, why don't you contact them and see for yourself what he did? You're his representative after all...I think you'd want to be sure of who it is you're representing.
A year or so ago some useless cunt came on here claiming I hadn't served in the 2nd REP and hadn't jumped...only served as an MP there opening gates for the Legion Paras. I told him I'd provide my service record, my para brevet number, a letter from the French ministry of defense, and put him in touch with a bunch of ex Legionnaires who served with me, and jumped with me, if he'd publicly apologized.
Gutless turd quit the forum without an apology.
Point is I do have proof to back up my claims...Wagner doesn't. If he does, ask him for them, verify them independently and put them up. Of course you can't do that because Wagner can't do that.

control-defence,
You started this thread here to sell us a course. If we have doubts about what you are selling then the onus is purely on you as the salesman to assuage the doubts which your intended customers i.e us, have.
Do you think if I went to buy a washing machine and I told the salesman I didn't want the machine he sold because I belieived they weren't reliable he would ask me to prove it? No he wouldn't would he, he would offer proof, if he had any that his machine was reliable.
Your situation is no different so I suggest that if you want to sell your product then you do just that.

Chris, it says the content is unavailable?
Anyway, I don't see why anyone trying to sell something should have their feathers ruffled when presented with objections. If they had nothing to hide they would offer all the proof with a smile on their face and we would all then happily buy their product. That is the way it works.
So far all control-defence has done is make his product look as bad as its reputation.

hmmm... I am currently on the thread talking to some sycophants. Fielding the usual "they're just jealous" nonsense.
Wagner has made a big show of contacting Nick's KM school. They're also demanding that we prove Wagner is not what he says he is.... typical logical fallacy at it's best.
I have made repeated invitations for any of his minions to post here but they don't seem to have the intestinal fortitude to back Wagner on anything other than his own facebook profile.

HERE WE GO AGAIN, JIM WAGNER IS A FRAUD.
I’ve been hearing that line since I started the civilian Reality-Based Personal Protection system on January 21, 2003. Nobody attacks the techniques or the training methods that I teach, because th...ey would be directly insulting the many police and military units worldwide who I’ve taught who swear by the system; not to mention the security companies, bodyguard schools, and martial arts schools of every system. Nope, the only way my competitors can try to persuade future students from not attending my courses is through character assassination. They go after me directly. In fact, just yesterday as I was teaching my KNIFE INSTRUCTOR course in my school in Solingen, Germany I told my students there to accept the fact that there will be a few people who come along attacking them because they are associated with me. Most know this already, for they have seen the trash but still come, but there are a few students unaware of the cyberattacks that have been going on since Hock Hochheim first launched them 8 years ago; no big secret there. I’m quite open about it. I tell all of my students that there are those devoted to destroying me, so that way nobody is surprised later on. To some they like it, because it makes them feel like “the bad boys of the martial arts.” One Dutch student last year came up to me and said, “Jim, I’ve heard a lot of shit about you. A lot. And, I said to myself, if there are that many attacks you must be good. That’s why I am here.” He wasn’t disappointed. He loved every minute.
Well, now that I will be teaching my Level 1 courses in Devon, England next month the attacks are afresh. This time it is from a character named “Nick Hughes” of the Krav Maga Lake Norman in North Carolina; a fellow American. Yes, I know, the “ugly American” again. I am embarrassed for any American that airs their dirty laundry on the Internet. It make our people look petty. Now, I’m not saying with 100% certainty that this is indeed the person spreading lies about me, because I have written to the school to make sure I have the right person and a copy of my letter to him, to the school, is down below for you to read yourself. So, what does England and this “Nick Hughes” have in common; they are after all on two different sides of the ocean. Well, this person, this Nick Hughes, is posting on a forum that students in England should not take my courses, and if they do they are basically, to paraphrase, “stupid.” Forget the fact that members of the Royal Marines, SAS, a dozen police departments, and instructors from dozens of schools have taken the courses and are more than happy with them and encourage their comrades to come, that does not matter to this American; or perhaps someone impersonating this American (hopefully I get to the bottom of it).
Well, Gary Dell, the RBPP Director for the United Kingdom, did an outstanding job of answering this accuser on Forumotion.com but the “intelligent response” from this man was basically you can’t believe anything that comes from Jim Wagner’s camp. So, no matter what document I have posted on my website, no matter what photos are shown, no matter what videos I have up on YouTube – they are all fake and prove nothing. End of story. So, Gary realized that this man was not really seeking the truth, but it was more of the same old thing. Of course, I told Gary, “They don’t go after the nobodies. They don’t want to see Reality-Based take off in the UK.” The funny thing is that I get a lot of people writing me from the UK stating that they are practicing my techniques and training methods directly from my books, DVDs, and YouTube channel jimwagnerrbpp I guess the enemies of Reality-Based have not figured how to stop those media outlets yet. I’ve been teaching full-time for almost 10 years now. If people come to my seminars great, if not, that’s fine also. However they get my life-saving information is fine with me.
One of my enemies a couple of years ago stated on his website, “My goal is to try to have Jim Wagner earn less money.” That, and persuade people to attend his Krav Maga courses. For some reason this guy thought I was an enemy of Krav Maga, which is a ludicrous idea, for I was invited to Israel twice by the Israelis to teach their top police and military instructors, and I learned a great deal from them as well. I respect military Krav Maga, which is almost identical to the U.S. Army Combatives program, and a fourth of all the students coming to my seminars seem to be Krav people. I’ve also studied Israeli HISARDUT, KAPAP, and LOTAR. No, I have nothing against the Israeli systems.
Here’s the letter I sent to the Krav Maga Lake Norman school by me just to find out if it came from them or another:
>>>>>
Hello from Germany. This is Jim Wagner. Is this Nick Hughes' school? I want to make sure I have the right person, because a "Rick Hughes" is writing on a martial arts forum stating that I am a fraud. I certainly do not want to be writing to the wrong person. However, the Rick Hughes writing stuff about me needs to be addressed and called a liar to his face (well, his cyber face anyway). This same Rich Hughes says I was never on the Costa Mesa SWAT team in California, and a bunch of other things he copied and pasted from Hock Hochheim's website that contains a whole book of accusations against me. This Rick Hughes who conversed with Gary Dell claims he has proof, and that he "knows somebody" who has inside knowledge. Well, unless it comes from my former Police Chief David Snowden or from my former SWAT Commander Ron Smith, and they airbrush all my photos out with my SWAT badge and SWAT patches, then I doubt seriously there is an "inside source."
Anyway, I have everything I need posted up on my official website about my background. I also have a few video clips of me training German GSG9, Brazilian SpecOps, Argentinean SpecOps, California Highway Patrol, U.S. Air Force Security Forces, and some other good clips of me training with U.S. Marines HRST and the U.S. Army 19th Special Forces. I'd like to put up more, but I am too busy teaching around the world and also serving my country as a Reserve soldier. Yet, I'd also like to ask the Rick Hughes that is so interested in calling me a liar about my background, which is verifiable, why he does not himself list which French Foreign Legion unit he was in on his website. He states he has trained VIPs, celebrities, rock stars, and executives. If so, then which ones? I state clearly who I've trained over the years (not everyone), but my extensive list is at least a list. Why am I being held to a different standard? Why must I list everything and not others? Well, I'll tell you why. Because I set the standard when I started writing for Black Belt magazine in 1999 and created the Reality-Based movement. I’m not afraid to list who I’ve trained (there are a few that I am not able to list until after some time has passed).
Well, enough. I'm just trying to find the man responsible for spreading the lies about me, and I hope you can help me find him. Thank you, and Be A Hard Target.”

So, Facebook friends, what do you think? Do you think this was the right approach or should I have tried something different? Sometimes I feel “damned if I do, and damned if I don’t.” Some of the RBPP family tell me to address the attacks, and some say don’t; just ignore them. Well, on my official website there is no need to address our competitors. However, with Facebook I can get direct input from you.
Be A Hard Target.
The photo is of me and my RBPP Director of German Speaking Countries, Tobias, after a “hard day at the office” on Friday, September 7, 2012 in front of my school in Solingen, Germany. We had just run our students through sniper survival tactics in my original 8-hour Terrorism Survival course. Yes, yes, I know, my enemies claim I never went through the U.S. Marine Scout/Sniper training, nor learned sniping skills from GSG9, nor was ever a counterterrorist. Yet, the Swiss police and German soldiers in the course seemed to have thought the material was “life-saving” and very “informative.” The bottom line is that I give my students knowledge that they need to survive modern attacks, and the nay sayers are just a side show.See more

In fact it was all positive and for one very good reason it's brilliant.

2.Chris Wilson Joseph, please stay on point. It's not about how anyone else is viewed. Specific comments were made about Jim Wagner that he has chosed to challenge in his own part of the universe (his facebook page) I advocate he goes to the source and makes his comment there if he wants to challenge assertions. If he doesn't I really don't care but to only address these questions in a media that he ultimately controls is somewhat bizarre.

Liz Marsh Jim you don't have to answer to people like that, you're in a totally different league to this man. Jealousy is such an unbelievably ugly emotion and makes people do such stupid things. Having attended one of your courses I'd recommend them to anyone. I learnt so much as did everyone else there and the people who attended were from all different backgrounds, I didn't hear one negative comment about you, your teaching methods or the syllabus. In fact it was all positive and for one very good reason it's brilliant. Please don't waste any more time on this or any other person who wishes to put you down they're just making themselves look stupid.

If he doesn't I really don't care but to only address these questions in a media that he ultimately controls is somewhat bizarre.

Good grief,
OK then Gary (I assume you are control-defence) I do not personally give a monkeys about Wagner one way or the other.
I am however offering you the perfect opportunity to advertise your courses on here. You can change everyones attitude to Wagner by getting him to prove, please note that is prove not drone on without saying anything like the facebook article, that his naysayers are wrong.
Shouldn't be too hard if such proof exists.
This is a golden opportunity, up to you.

the irony is, I really don't give a monkey's either way. Wagner may be good, bad or indifferent at what he does. I'm not bothered because it doesn't impact on me either way.
I have a tremendous amount of time and respect for Nick. If he has a position on something then I accept that position because I know he has integrity. Plus, he has the very rare ability to transcend pettiness, no small thing.
The usual dance has progressed to the thinly veiled threats and "I wont respond to you anymore because you are a troll" stage.

What's the big deal in asking for proof of claims, I'd ask the same of anyone trying to sell me something.about an hour ago · LikeUnlike.
Chris Wilson I'm genuinely curious. What is unreal training? Is that training that doesn't actually happen. I'm fond of real training myself, training,talking about training in all its forms but more importantly actually training has been a big part of my life since my first judo class at 8 years of age. about an hour ago · LikeUnlike.

Chris Wilson Truth sometimes is uncomfortable. I asked my questions when the topic arose. Jim Wagner started this discussion about a conversation that was already taking place somewhere else. Of course I would come direct to the source, using the media he chose to make his comment! What do you expect me to do? This is where Wagner made his comment.about an hour ago · LikeUnlike.

Gary 'Dellboy' Dell actually chris, ill speak with JIM WAGNER, and see if i can get you a good discount on the upcoming level 1 course. come and see for yourself how GOOD the training is and how EFFECTIVE it is.

Chris Wilson Gary, if this was about paying for a course I would already be going. I don't need a discount. Though I genuinely do appreciate the offer if it is sincere. As I said above, no idea of the material is good, bad or indifferent. The questions are around credibility. about an hour ago · LikeUnlike.

Buzz L. Mann Chris I think I begin to understand what you´re after. If I had any prove I would be over at your community presenting it. But I don´t. All I can say is I learned too much from this man to believe these accusations. And I don´t think that you are doing your community any good here. Besides, I have no idea if FB is tolerating the copying of this conversation on your blog. Just saying...about an hour ago · LikeUnlike.

Hank Hayes Hey brother Jim,
I understand your frustration and all I can say is keep doing what your doing "saving lives one training, one article, one video, one pod cast, one sit down lunch, etc.
TO THE MASSES: My name is Hank Hayes I am the owner...
of No Lie Blades and NLB defensive Measures, we officially train L/E, Corrections and Military since 1998 and have trained to today's date 9/11/2012 - 11,354 US operators.
I have known Jim for at least 10 years, have trained with him, have had meals with him and his wife and prayed together in a parking lot for someone else's well being.
Jim Wagner is the real deal but more than that he's a great man and friend.
All I can say is "so many people try to make themselves feel bigger
by chopping someone down". Stand tall, stand strong!!!
Jim, by the way lets have lunch soon.

Chris Wilson Fernando, you do realise that the public internet is not the best place to threaten people with violence. Just saying. And why are people hiding behind false identities in order to post or view this thread?

Urgh..... I hadn't even heard of the bloke before this...
Odd to see the other side of things really. They all think were a bunch of wankers.
I'm tempted to go and see what this bloke has to say.
I feel obliged to say also that I did once train with Bob Spour and while I always at the back of my mind had reservations about the SAS claim he did actualy do some effective stuff... Pity he was a God Shite
Actually I have to say that stuff like this, bigging yourself up and spouting a load of lies really boils my piss. I slogged through 20+ years of training. I put up with some right characters and had some right shit until I started my own lessons and what did I get? Three people on a badminton down the local Leisure centre because I never made on I was on the Balcony at the Iranian Embassy and thank god it happened through the week cos I was on the Doors that Friday.....
I actually had an young lad taking a 'Thai Boxing' lesson (turned out to be MMA) tell me he was ex para and worked the doors.. Christ he was 18 if he was a day......
Sorry for the rant it just boils my piss when I try to be honest and do the right thing and some muppets invent a paralel dimension in their heads and have a flock of followers

and so it ends. As usual with claims of me being an armchair warrior and messages asking me to call to arrange some trip for some training!
Par for the course really. Not a chance of a real answer.

No actually, you insulted me, threatened me and sent me multiple messages on facebook demanding that I ring you to arrange a meeting. Ther implication being that you wanted a chance to get your scarey meaty paws on me and teach me the error of my ways.
Why would I want to attend a course i have no interest in. I wouldn't go if it was free so why would I be interested in a discount?
Plus, genius, I never once made any claims about Wagner's material to say if it was good, bad or indifferent. I stated clearly that his background contained fabrications. What would attending any course prove?
Are you five years old? Why on earth would I want to speak with a complete stranger who is ranting on the internet?
