By all means - write better books. I will be the first to read them.
It is certainly easier to try smearing one's name writing anonymous comments on a forum, than attempting what I have suggested...
But since you asked, I shall at least refer you to the appropriate answer as found within the book itself. It is detailed among the lines of the foreword, written by my friend, master Keith Kernspecht, who with 60,000 students in his organization is likely the most commercially successful martial arts teacher to have ever lived. In there he explains why, in his opinion, my words matter. It is better to read it from him, than myself attempting to make any justifications, which are anyways undue and uncalled for here. My martial arts professional resume is well known and detailed in my books and many of my articles.
Good luck with your writing and teaching! I shall now go back to mine.

Lol, no it doesn't.
This is like someone walks into a kung fu school and says, "What makes you an authority on teaching? Your flyer smacks of hubris."
If you don't like the idea of teaching don't buy the book.
I mean on a whole other level this is exactly the kind of book any serious teacher, at least at an academic level, would have for their library. The idea that he isn't qualified doesn't even enter into it.
