I first encountered this company while working at another location. After evaluating BTT instructor Vinny Souza, I welcomed him onboard. He was paid fairly for his services.
Some time passed and he was confusing my students. They had questions about his ability. I did a more thorough evaluation and found him lacking, but it wasn't my place to remove him.
I then went to a martial arts tournament and encountered his team, which claimed to be the same team so as to have me removed from the tournament. I won a division up.
He approached me and then told me he could not grant me a black belt. I never asked. He then goes to my boss and tells her that Im being uncooperative and not accepting the black belt. So I accept it. Then a bill comes back for 2k. I ask whats going on and no one has a straight answer. However, in pursuit of the money, BTT and community members mislead by them have launched a stalking and harassment campaign that has negatively impacted my business and my life, escalating to death threats and serious consquences, both financial and personal.
