Then they decided that conditioning, sparing and drills should take a back seat to learing the 10,000 secret forms and letting people get their blck belts in under 2 yrs.....and it's been a downward spiral of suckatude ever since.
But if you can believe it, there was actually a time when they would fail people on belt tests , make you actually sweat your ass off and it was common for people to leave after upper belt sparing sessions w/ broken noses and split lips.
