FYI 7/17/08 INTENTIONS TO INFRINGE/BY THEFT OF THE LEGENDARY NAME OF I.A.M.A. LINKED TO A MISSOURIAN BY THE NAME OF DONN SCHUCKER

Commentary: Schucker has been repeatedly advised of his "Infringement" in the unauthorized use of our Trade Name/Mark - International Association of Martial Arts/Artists.

As of this writng Donn Schucker (a Phil Porter castout) has been ordered by Shihan Gary Alexander to "cease and desist" in his actions but has continued on his path to Sponsor Events using IAMA's name 7/16 thru 7/19/08 (Seminars and an Awards Banquet) which is now tantamount to Theft of the I.A.M.A. name and the good will of our IAMA Membership Worldwide.

Any Awards given in the name of Schucker are disgraced and invalid!

Shihan Alexander facing this attack from this Donn Schucker has notified our Worldwide Membership and Associates, as well postings to open Websites.

Donn Schucker does not pack the gear to STEAL from I.A.M.A. and he will realize this shortly, since the mat is 1,400 miles away, we have filed suit/charges against him in the amount of 0ne million dollars in Federal Court by Gary Alexander, Founder IAMA, this will last as long as it takes and Schucker will be held to account for his actions.

This event is being vehemently aired to the general Martial Arts Community since there are many Schuckers and other Clown Acts out there that have no respect, no self dignity and understand only one thing, and that is - we will teach you respect or drive you out of our ranks!

We are I.A.M.A.! You don't tread on us     GA

November 2007, IAMA Hall of Fame Inductions and Awards Banquet

“Militec 1” CEO Brad Giordani was once again the sponsor of this years event. Militec 1 is a dry weapons lube that allows weapons (and machinery) to operate in sand and other unfriendly environments to machines and equipment.

This years IAMA Hall of Fame Ceremonies drew a National audience of the top Martial Artists in the U.S.. Shihan Gary Alexander produced this 10th IAMA Hall of Fame event that boasts a Board of Directors that reads like a “who’s who” in the Martial Arts community.

After the “Happy Hour”, the nights event looked almost like 8th & I (Marine Barracks, Washington, DC) starting with the Eatontown NJ Detachment Marine Color Guard. As the Marines displayed the Stars & Stripes, “Mac” Tasetano (age 12) played the National Anthem on his trumpet.

A short speech by Shihan Alexander with introductions, then a fine dinner at the Forge Caterers in Woodbridge, NJ. After dinner, there was an hour of “mandatory” dancing and socializing. The audience was then treated to a “Korean Sword” demonstration by members of GHGumdo, Warren NJ training center

Now! The Inductions/Awards! This year we were proud to have Lt./Colonel Joseph Shusko with us. As Director of the Marine Corps Raider Hall/MCMAP he has led the effort to train his Marines in the Defensive H2HC Arts and has done an outstanding job and has contributed greatly to the survival skills of his Marines worldwide. Lt/Colonel Shusko was Inducted into the IAMA Hall of Fame as of this date.

The Lt/Colonel additionally came with a second mission which was to accept the Induction of General James Jones, former Commandant USMC, and NATO Commander. General Jones was the guiding light behind the implementation of the Marine Corps Martial Arts Programs with a battle cry “Every Marine a Black Belt”. General James Jones was inducted into our IAMA Hall of Fame in absentia for his service, and dedication to his country, and corps and his foresight in wanting his Marines to have every skill needed to make them “even more” of the ultimate warriors. The General wrote a very nice letter before the event that his existing obligations kept him from being present. See page 3 of our Newsletter.

The third Induction to our IAMA Hall of Fame was yet another Marine Veteran, Professor Ronald Duncan. Professor Duncan was one of the First Marine back from oversea’s in the early 1950’s and returned with his skills (Nin-jitsu/Martial Arts) to Camp Lejeune, NC where Don Nagle (Isshinryu Karate), and Ernie Cates (Judo) also had based at the same time. For his great Accomplishments training, teaching, performing, as a Life Martial Artists Professor Duncan is Inducted to our IAMA Hall of Fame 2007.

The evenings proceedings then went into recognition of our IAMA Associate Board of Directors and USA Martial Arts luminaries deserving to be honored for their accomplishments in the World of Martial of Arts.

Alexander is not a TKD stylist! As a matter of fact he wasn't even introduced at the event. But Gary Alexander  knows their drill and only came because he was invited by Gerry Robbins, and Allen Steen. These men are part of the "real" history of Martial Arts In America.
 
The only two Korean "gentlemen" were Jhoon Rhee, and Dong Kuen Park that greeted Alexander like "Men" and thank you for that.
 
God Bless America!

Our Choice for President John Ostrich, Senate & Congress in rear w/heads still in ground! Alas!!!

“WE” Americans should call this Presidential Race just what it is. A disgrace!!!

This is the best America has to offer?

“WE” should disqualify all candidates, declare events to date null, and void,

Find “leaders of worth” (Socio - Economic - Military skills) and start over.

Then…“WE” fire the Senate & Congress! “WE” bring in new “Green” Political Recruits in both houses that can serve no longer than 2 - 4 year terms........

CLEAN HOUSE! No more scoundrels for life with their “Special Interest” Cronies.
