I remember one time about 10 or 11 years ago I was studying with this school that I now consider despicable and fake in many regards.
I was testing for a red belt, with a piece of black electrical tape on it (whats up with all this tape on belts anyway? LOL).
The test costed 80 dollars or so, it was infront of this "master" guy, besides my normal instructor.
Later I found out that I had failed the test, when I asked my instructor why he said that I didn't kiai loud enough when I broke some boards. So being the mindless fanatic that I was back then, I was like ok, when can I retest? He said that he could video tape me kiai-ing and send that to the master guy for another 80 dollars and then I could have the next rank. So of course I was gullible and took him up on it to get the next rank.
