Yes Brent had a thing for touching people innapropriately. I think that is why Jason left to. I hung out with Zack and Daniel... they where not wierdos

well guess what guys, you say, that zack disrespected him, well ur wrong, zack always was respectfull to brent until all the touching and stuff ecurred and if you want to call him a liar just because what brent told everyone what happened, then hostley brent got in ur head too..

what about people that do not even know zach and made reports against him

There are definitely ex students that hate sensei... including zach that was talking in the video on the fox 12 news. i never heard him say anything good about sensei. looks like he finally found a way to "get back" at him for doing what a sensei is supposed to do... discipline and teach respect. just because he made some kids do a bunch of push ups because they kept disrespecting doesnt mean you should start hating him. you deserved it. brent is not stupid enough to do something like this and put his entire life/career/future at risk. definitely innocent until proven guilty.

My partner lived with Brent for a few years when he was younger. He took his classes from the age of 12 through to the age of 18 and also taught some his younger classes. In no way shape or form did Brent EVER act inappropriately. He is such a lovely, kind and professional human being.

I used to take his classes and i never seen anything out of ordinary. He seemed like an average MMA instructor.

I know Brent, and he is differant,if anyone else has been abused will you please come forward. We do not what him back out to do his thing if he is guilt. I believe that he is guilty.

This guy used to teach my school how to do karate is school. He callled it "brain gym". It's were he taught us how to do cool kicks and stuff. I never saw him touch any body except for in the responsible way! I called up all my friends and told them about what happened, and me and all my friends never thought that out of all the people our "sensai" would be arreseted for sexual abuse.

Innocent until proven guilty. I've been reading that he's inappropriate in his classes, but I don't believe that there was any touching, ever.

We have know brent for several years while my son is currently enrolled in his training. Brent has ALWAYS been nothing but appropriate towards the children and teaching them respect, to be aware of others who make them feel uncomfortable and to stand up for yourself. We believe this is just an attempt to "get back" at Brent from an ex troubled student. Brent is innocent until he is proven guilty!

The guy may be a "perve" but calling him a "homo" is brand gay people as perverts and potential criminals. I have known many gay people through the years and it's just about sexual orientation. What some do with it the same as heterosexual men who rape women.

unknow if you have first hand info on this guy please CALL the police . If you are just making non factual statements you will find yourself judged accordingly ! If the evidence convicts this guy of harmful activities his judgement will be severe ! Looks likes another sad case for all involved . Possibly another breach of trust from those giving guidance to the young and acting as role models .

this guy is a perve and a homo glad left his place in time
