    You've never experienced humility until you've been schooled by a three year old.

    Would they even be able to tie the belts there recieving at that age is what i would be interested to know.
    Up and down, forward and backward, left and right, its all the same. All of this is done with the mind, not externaly.

    Crazyness.

    I always thought that 1st Dan testees had to do a written essay.

    Next they will hand it out when the toddler can put on his keikogi for the first time without help.

    Or can you see the little 7yr old karateka accepting that his tkd buddy got 2nd Dan while he is kyu ranked.

    OMG that is such BS. Can they seriously say that the kid deserves a BB? And if so, it just says bad things about their standards.

    My buddy has his kids in a school like that. I've told him not to buy into that bs, however he said it was good for the kids self esteem.
    Bless you

    Bah. All TKD is going to do, is wind up getting your a$$ kicked cause you think you know how to fight when you really dont.
    Albeit, it gave me a little insight to fighting, just cause we sparred. But as a former TKDer, I will very forwardly state that it is CRAP.

    The local TKD school here does stupid shlt like this. His ad campaign says "we are the only school that can qualify you for the olympics."

    The funny thing is, he doesn't require sparring. So, some of his 3rd degree black belts have only sparred 3 or 4 times in their life!

    Two of his 8 year-old "2nd Dans" come to our school now. Granted, they are flexible as hell, but they can't fight to save their lives.

    You have to put some of the blame on the parents, though. When one the young kids came to our school, the first thing his mom asked was "How long till he gets his black belt" before she asked anything about kung fu. Come to think of it, a lot of parents ask that question right off the bat.
