Maolvar said:7th dan is supposed to be pretty damn good, but I wouldn't be suprised if he had made up his own style and promoted himself straight to 7th dan. Another possibility is that he has ordered his grade and sertification (if he even has any) from some international mcdojo organization.

Wikipedia is indeed very nice but I have spotted biased and false information there few times. Articles about same subjects in different languages can sometimes differ alot from each other. Fortunately wikipedia seems to be getting better everyday.

Not a kid. I'd say he is around 40-45. Tero Laaksonen is his name. Gave me this book he wrote, Kamppailu Ja Elämä. I'm pretty much a layman when it comes to martial arts. Here's a link:

The guy's a 7 dan of a system he created himself.
That's uttely idiotic. It has no meaning whatsoever.
