What's the hang up over belts.

So what if a school in India wants to award black belts to three year olds. What effect does that have on you or your training. It just means that when these people finally wake up and come to your school they'll most likely be dedicated and stay for years realizing that all they have at the moment is junk.

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!
Now that's just plain dangerous and sick.
