Hello all,
A quick thought - I have noticed ever more increasing Hapkido organizations are headed by individuals that are not of high rank - eg 8th, 9th dan. I am curious, for those in these organizations, how one advances the organization - not strictly the individual.
This is interesting to me because it appears that in the US, fewer and fewer small organizations are connected to senior Korean or American groups - so I was wondering if this hurts the credibility, or the ability of the organization to provide advancement, especially for senior members.
I have intentionally not mentioned any organizations, and am really interested in peoples perspective here - not an organizational bash.
