Who is Mushtaq Ali al Ansari?
This is a question that is infrequently asked, mostly because the answer is rather boring.
If asked (enough) he will tell you that after long study, he may have begun to learn the basics of a couple of martial arts, but that he has no rank that is worth mentioning.
He has been involved in Sufism for the entirety of his adult life, though being the worst of his teacher’s students, he did not receive his Ijaza (permission to teach) until 1999.
He has managed to travel extensively to some interesting places and to hang out with some remarkable people, and can be coaxed into talking about this on rare occasions.
In 2018 he was dragged kicking and screaming from a quiet retirement in order to found The Nine-Sided Circle (a no mystery school) with his partner Noor Kyle George.
It is rumored that he lives somewhere on the West Coast.
