I think everyone seems to be starting to understand the whole situation. And the training was not from white belt up to BB in one year. He had been studying some TKD but concentrating on kung fu for several years prior and was a red belt TKD when he started the intense training. Its just that he lives and breathes kung fu. That's why we have other TKD instructors, because he wants to now concentrate on kung fu only. And he did test for all his belts. None were given and I don't think the GM would give belts out. If I recall he went through 9 different tests in about a 3 - 4 month period for his second dan.
Also keep in mind that in addition to the training and testing, the GM taught at the school an average of 2 nights per week for a year. I didn't pay anything for this, it was included in the overall money I paid out.
So, as I have said before, if the money was only for 1st and 2nd dan ranking, it was outrageous. But, include his training, teaching at the school for a year, and having GM Park present his belt, it starts looking better.
