The TRUTH about Peter Lee


WHY?

Why are WE doing this???

Okay, good question! This Peter Larsen is really not a very important person at all: he has quite a small school, has been kicked out of his previous school where he was still a student, has been kicked out of another school again later, has been kicked out of the Danish Karatedo Federation (DKF), all his prices he brags about are from minor championships (most are not even known by karatekas from DKF schools!), everybody knows he bought his 4th and 5th dan, his own collegues can't stand him and still we are going through so much trouble to show people the true nature of this man... Why?

Well, at first we all thought "let it go, don't even bother, it'll all pass...". But it didn't pass... He kept going on and going on and going on with his false allegations and slandering the name of very much respected people inside the world of Genseiryu. Why he does all this is still a bit of a mystery, but he shouldn't do a disrespectful thing like this...

At some point (in May 2005), an 18-year old boy from Holland, named Thoar had to bring the story about the World Genseiryu Karatedo Federation (WGKF) and about sensei Konno up once more on Peter Larsen's forum... This was just too much. We decided this has to stop now, once and for all! We decided to fight back! It's not fair and very disrespectful to slander somebody's name on a forum without any proper evidence and it's certainly not BRAVE not to give us any chance to defend him on that same forum.We wrote this young Thoar an answer and posted this on the forum. A 'correct' answer, without being offensive, no insults of any kind, but putting him into his place rather diplomatically. Then Peter had to meddle in again and he answered all the questions himself, questions that were actually asked to Thoar personally. Of course this is such a selfish, egocentric and arrogant behaviour and besides, everything he wrote was again one big pile of BS. He twisted all the words into his advantage, insulted us, slandered people's names again and told again nothing but lies...

So we decided to make this site, to tell everybody that this man is a disgrace to Genseiryu (butokukai), to karate, to the martial arts, to the Shukumine family and the late sensei Seiken Shukumine (may he rest in peace) and in fact to the whole society!!!

Normally it's not my nature to participate in something like this, oh no, in fact I am very forgiving and understanding and open for any discussion. I can say the same thing for the others that are working on this 'project', all of them respectable men and women, good enthousiastic karatekas and very nice persons to have around you as friends...
But in this case he has asked for it... We are never gonna stop, until he stops all the allegations, lies and name slandering on his site and forum. Luckily we are backed up by many people inside Genseiryu! BTW, when I (we) talk about "we", this is mostly meant as in "we, from Genseiryu (Netherlands)"...

Talent?

Another thing: it's really a shame that any talented karatekas at his school will never be fighting at national level (national or international championships) as long as they are connected to his school, since his school is not a member of the Danish Karatedo Federation (DKF)... The only "international" tournaments they can participate are those organized by Butokukai themselves or any tournaments where they are invited to (which will never be a DKF tournament!)... These are not really big, important tournaments... I hope that any talented karatekas at his school will come to understand that for the developement of their karate it's of the utmost importance to find a school that is connected to the DKF and has the right qualities and qualified teachers, so they are able to improve their karate skills in a high tempo, and maybe, one day, become Danish Champion (or more!)...

Contact

WHO are we? Well, we are some people inside the Genseiryu world (the true, original Genseiryu that is! Not Butokukai!) who are now fed up with all the name slandering and allegations and lies of Mr. Peter Larsen. We wonna fight for an honest and neutral karate environment where everybody can learn karate the right way. It's a beautiful sport and everybody should be able to learn it, without people claiming a lot of stuff that's not true, without being told stories, without lies... No matter if you do Genseiryu, Butokukai, Wado, Kyokushin, Shotokan or wat ever style, you want to practise karate as good as you can and you should be entitled to do so. There is no place in there for people like Peter Larsen who are only a disgrace for the martial arts world and as a matter of fact for the whole society...

Do you have any other information concerning this man, his school, or his allegations and lies, or do you have any questions or you just want to support us, then you can send an email to GENSEI-RYU at (@) hotmail.com... Every email will be dealt with confidentially!!!
