A "Short" Statement on Former Employee Daniel Sandoval

Men in glass houses should not throw stones, especially when the person they are throwing stones at has a reputation and character which is the equivalent of Fort Knox surrounded by a wrought iron fence.

This objectively little man, Daniel Sandoval, has already failed to heed this advice in his baseless, pathetic attempt to bring down Professor Jose of The War Room School of Jiu Jitsu.

It’s one of those things where Dan’s lunatic ramblings do not deserve to be justified with a response, but I find that people will fill in the silence with assumptions and I’d rather just bring truths to light.

His last effort was a sworn statement which I’ve already addressed but haven’t posted. His current effort involves some one star Google reviews from his real and fake accounts.


Some FACTS about Daniel Sandoval:

-Dan has court mandated supervised visits with his daughter in Colorado. How badly does one have to behave to have court mandated supervised visits with their child? Dan had to PAY someone an hourly rate of about $70 per hour (correct me if I’m wrong) to supervise his visits with his daughter. Jose gave Dan a raise to help cover that.

-Dan has had to miss/cancel classes to visit his daughter and Jose NEVER DOCKED HIS PAY.

-Dan has multiple baby mamas.

-Dan smokes heavy amounts of marijuana.

-Dan has been spotted driving by the school, slowing down and braking multiple times, peeking his little head out- very stalkerish behavior.

-We lost students because of Dan and his lack of discipline. Dan then goes on a rant on social media (as he seems to do a lot of late) bashing the grandparents of one of the kids. Jose still stood by him because Jose was loyal to his friend and employee.

-Jose gave Dan MULTIPLE raises throughout the years.

-When Dan first got hired into The War Room, Jose paid him MORE than what he was asking for.

-Dan has never had to pay for a gi for himself or his son. Ask Dan and Jose what kind of “perks”, if any, black belts and teachers would get at other martial arts schools they’ve been a part of and you’ll the juxtaposition of how Dan was treated vs. people in the jiu jitsu community who are of similar positions.

-Jose lent Dan my truck for a period of about two months while Dan’s car was in the shop and needing constant sporadic repairs.

-We have taken Dan out to multiple dinners for the holidays and birthdays. Jose has given him gifts such as a $700 knife.

-Dan has been GENEROUSLY compensated and taken care of at his time at The War Room. He is not a volunteer.

Look at Dan and Jose. Look at their character. Look at their ACTIONS as well as their words.

Look at both with a magnifying glass and a fine-tooth comb. (The magnifying glass is a slightly backhanded nod because Dan is so small, in every way possible – stature, class, skill, honor etc. but the blows sometimes have to be low to reach someone so insignificant.)

Jose’s character and reputation are rock solid.

These facts are mentioned because I want the court of public opinion to examine the source of these accusations as well as the accused. Jose did right by Dan in every way, even when Dan was in the wrong.

And it is because of this that Dan’s current actions and words are so VILE and OFFENSIVE.

Daniel Sandoval, How dare you pull this bullshit.

How fucking dare you.

The most PATHETIC part about this is that you are too much of a coward to say any of this to Jose’s face.

You will post on social media. You will send statements to everyone and their mom… but you won’t say this to Jose’s face. You’ll block him…but you’ll still TALK ABOUT him.

YOU. ARE. A. COWARD.

The lowest of the low.

You are the antithesis of the Bushido code.

After all of this blows over, and it will… you will be remembered as a sad, bitter, washed-up fool who tried to take down a person and a school that took care of you. You will be remembered as a liar, a coward and a pervert (because there are things not stated here that will come to light). You will be remembered as a wannabe with shitty jiu jitsu and no champions to show for it. You will be remembered as a Judas who ate at the table and then bit the hand that fed him.

You will be remembered as “that guy who used to teach at The War Room, but then he left, took some problem people with him…and everything is even better now without them.”

You’ll be remembered as that…

…if you’re even remembered at all.

You are not even a footnote.

You are just a piece of trash that took himself out.
