Stephen literally claims that a group of serious drug dealers, who'd killed, were chasing Stephen until he took his Ballyclava off, they realised it was him, then started begging him like "Stephen we didn't know it was you, we're sorry" then they run off. Another story Stephen told was when he walked into a room with 15 killers who were all bodybuilders, Stephen starts threatening all of them while he's unarmed. They're all terrified and don't say a word.
    His whole book is full of that

      Some guests are excellent story tellers, this is why James could just sit back and let the guest get in their flow. Frenchy is a very intense man, the same with Darren Gee, so intense that one wouldn’t wish to interrupt because their stories are so engrossing.

      He is interrupting French. French has a story which he has chronolised, and he dont need the interviewer trying to jump in and change the subject. French is a methodical person.. he dont want to be interrupted. Everything English asked was got to In the end, but more importantly it is in the right place for Frenchs story. Say you had spent time writing down your story or memorizing it, handsome one keeps jumping in. Oh what about this story. I fell james doesn't do enough research. He will mention the books, but obviously hasn't read them. If he had he would not be shocked or not have heard the story's the fellas are talking about.

    It’s great to hear Stephen French talk about racism and martial arts. He speaks the truth, in the dojo/dojang/mats everyone is equal, no matter skin colour, religious belief, money. For those couple of hours everyone is on equal footing and what you learn and understand there translates into society and the way you act, you can see the injustices in the system and the oppression to groups and feel empathy for everyone. I would urge everyone who reads this to go and try any martial art, Karate, Taekwon-Do, Jiu Jitsu, Judo, it doesn’t matter the martial art and silly arguments of effectiveness etc, the all teach “the way”. I guarantee you come out a better person from when you went in.

They have absolutely nothing in common.. apart from they have both been called informants, and sex offenders.. French explained his story on those accusation, the sex offence was thrown out,and there is no documentation to prove he ever made a statement against anyone, and or got them a jail sentence.
