KC Elbows,
That's pretty disturbing. So Tom took the fall and Kim's schools are still running? What do you mean he showed students tapes of higher belts (as the called them) doing forms poorly? You mean he showed tapes of poorly done forms to students to show them that those particular higher belts were imposters? I'm not very literate when it comes to law, but how is it that after so much media attention, IRS investigation, and people actually going to jail (including the head grandmaster), that these schools still operate?
Its insteresting, I remember watching the Pam Zechman special reports on CBS, and seeing all these regional instructors try to explain why CMQ charges thousands for lessons and Kim's claims of being "champion of all Asia." Even now on their web site they make attempts to explain, offering names, who it was that Kim fought, and when he fought them.

They were all guilty. What Kim did, was blame his regional and national instructor's that got convicted, for following his orders to commit crimes.
Mc gee deserves no sympathy he was a guilty cult master like the rest.
I have read some statements by former students and instructors about the
"cult" of Oom Yung Doe.I have been a student in Boston area for 4 years.I
have never witnessed any of the behavior in fellow students and instructors
at all levels,local and national,described here.There is dedication to our
training and a protocol for conducting ourselves in school.We do show our
instructors respect,but it is not a blind devotion.I do not know of anyone who
describes the school as a cult that uses mind-control over people.
You are a wise student and prudent disciple of the Oom Yung Doe way. Follow your own Sul Kong Bope and you will find the path of right and wrong, good and evil and the true Ba Gwa path.

When I was 11 years old, I went to a Chung Moo Quan school in Schaumburg under an instructor Paul and an instructor John for like 6 months, before we moved back to Chicago. Instead of giving you different colored belts, they'd die sections of your white belt black at each level until it was black, then different elements of your Gi. I got to first section (the equivalent of a yellow belt anywhere else). I was really lucky we moved, because I saw the chain of schools being investigated for being a cult on local Chicago-area news some 20 years later as an adult. Also, my moms didn't have money for classes for some of the 6 months, which was another lucky break I guess. The instructors told us stories of Master Kim doing incredible feats, and having lived in a tiger's cave for several years to develop some of his forms. When we asked how'd he keep the tiger from eating him, they told us master Kim would shoot Ki out of his palms to keep the tiger away.
I actually believe the story. I think Kim was on the run from Korean officials, and was homeless in the cave. the "Tiger" was actually a cub, and when it got big enough to eat Kim, he ran away to the US to indoctrinate poeople into giving him millions.
nice spelling
all kung fu lineages have legends and stories:rolleyes:Quote:

sounds like a crazy club to me,more alike to the religous cults and anyone still there is mental...
how did he manage to brainwash his students
The best thing on their webpage was the row of pictures of Kim in his white patent leather shoes, white polyester pants, white sweater and a fro (WTF???) doing all these crazy Buddhist mystic poses.
