Everyone seems to focus on the organizations, but I am more curious as to what the differences are between individual schools. Two people in the same organization may have radically different approaches to how and what they teach.
So with that in mind,
If you are an instructor:
If you cannot participate without 'calling BS' on anything that you don't like, then find another thread. If you strongly disagree with a practice and feel obliged to say so, please speak articulately and explain intelligently why you disagree with it, rather than giving middle school level insults.
So with that in mind,
If you are an instructor:
- what type/org taekwondo do you teach and what do your classes look like?
- What is your curriculum like?
- Do you use programs like masters clubs and black belt clubs?
- Do you charge for belt tests, and if so, do the costs escalate as you progress?
- If you charge more than the organization's fee, what do your students get in return for the difference?
- Do you promote children to first dan and issue them a black belt?
- If you are KKW, do you put black belts on pum students?
- Do you have a weapons program, and if so, where did it come from and what does it consist of?
- Do you teach hoshinsul, and if so, where did that come from?
- Have you grafted on elements of other arts? If so, what arts and elements?
- Can you answer the same questions about where you train?
- What are your thoughts on the program?
