I decided to settle an argument that was on another thread that was just closed.
The basic argument was whether a certain member of this BBs was really an 8th dan in Pangainoon.
I made a phone call to Pangainoon Honbu Dojo in Okinawa to investigate.
The first question I asked was if they new of the afore mentioned member of this board.
Me: Do you have an American 8th dan in your Pangainoon system named xxxxx xxxxxxx or have you ever heard of him?
Pangainoon Honbu: No, he is not an 8th dan member of our organization and no we have never heard of him.
Me: I see. Is there anyone in the Pangainoon system America or the West that could promote someone to an 8th dan?
Pangainoon Honbu: No, we are a rather small organization and have no members abroad that could do that. All testing for that grade would have to take place here in Okinawa.
