This guy lists two Hall of Fame acceptances. I would like to know whether or not these are real. http://www.combatkalisilat.com/mike.shtml I know that he trains with legitimate masters. Look under Willem De Thouars.
They're "real" in that he probably didn't make up the certificate. In reality though, they generally don't mean much in the greater martial arts community. My first martial arts teacher got into the World Martial Arts Hall of Fame by nominating himself (his background was faked, and he also tried turning his school into a church for tax purposes). While there's lots of legitimate guys that are in these hall of fames, it's also an easy way for fakes to gain legitimacy in the eyes of the general public. So when looking at a martial artists background, I'd just completely ignore any hall of fame nominations/inductions. It's pretty irrelevant either way.
