No I don't. I speak the truth and you perceive it wrongly because there are so many fools around.

10 years of what experience?

Why does it matter which school I've trained? All paths lead to one.
FYI I hold one rank or another in danzan ryu jujitsu, taekwondo, karate, tai chi, taijutsu (really an american hybrid school), and an equivalent of kendo. I've been training off and on (because of my health) since I was 8 years old. Of the thousands of hours I've physically trained learning the techniques I've spent an equal amount of time over my life in reading and studying the science and philosophy behind it. I've had my fair share of the sports versions and the McDojos as well. I know the difference between martial prowess and athleticism. I have permanently damaged my big toe and my knee in my stupider days. I've sparred *a lot.*
I am not glorifying death or violence. That is in fact what most of MA schools do now a days. I am the opposite of such. I seek enlightenment. I avoid physical violence and use words whenever possible. I find it quite amusing that you call me Hollywood when you go and tell that biker story glorifying hollywood machoism. Their behavior sounds shameful as they entertained the silly notions of the bikers. They lost their honor as soon as the agreed to the terms of an honorless crowd of hooligans.
