Youth Black Belts

[Gorilla]

In 1960 our original GM was promoted 1st Poom/Dan....he was a member of Song Moo Kwan under the legendary GM Yong Sup Lee...he was 8 years old! He started training at 5....clearly they had no problem with youth BB!

I don't know who that is but if he earned it and later became a grandmaster then he must have been an extraordinary student (a little skeptic but dosnt matter) Never met him so not my place to put opinion
However whether he a prodigy, most kids are not. IMO i never met any person 10 or younger quite that skilled, 16 is still skeptic (very possible if they are mature for there age but that's fair if earned it. Though preferred age is 18+
