Im sure this topic has come up in this forum many times, but Id like to start a new one. We have a student that came from another school that is in fact an 8 year old black belt. This creates some contraversy because our school is highly structured, you must know a lot of techniques before advancing. We usually give Jr. Black Belts to kids below 16 years old. I think this creates a problem in the structure because all the other kids see that he is sloppy/lousy yet he has a black belt. I feel sorry for the kid and his parents myself, he was obviously taken advantage of. 2 Year eight your old black belt! We would like to see him demoted, but his parents would probabily flip out. This is a tough situation, that has not changed much at all. What good is a black belt going to do to a kid that can not even do a hook kick properly? This is a TKD school btw. Please post your concerns, thoughts, or comments here.
Thanks.
Thanks.
