Imagine how these things were 50 years ago or more.

There is nothing "wrong" with it. In some cases, something is better than nothing.

Ok, I have always though it had some type of benefits. I just wanted to see others that maybe I had not thought of.

But a higher rank, demonstrates higher knowledge. Shouldt knowledge be passed. For if someone got you there had taken the same outloook, one will not have learned. In other words, someone's has to teach. Perhaps those that do not like, are actually "stage-frighten". Or lack communication skills on front of a audience? There can be many reasons why one doesnt want to teach.

Right attitude.......individual training is ok, but other than ranking, to have someone else there has many other benefits.

I don't think anyone should "keep quiet". Perhaps more "tactful" when voicing opinions. I mean, I dont believe anyone has intentional bashing or insults.

So I guess the structure is quickly "makeshift" to squeeze money and motivation from the participants?

Yes, Finger Trigger Death (or Finger Technique Death)...the gun. EFLAM- Effective Fighting Learned And More or Everyone Flees Losing A Match

Choi didnt create Tang So Do. He had conflicts with them. And yes, reportedly, General Choi Hung Hei trained in shotokan under Funakoshi. And it sort of solidifies my previous statement: The result, TKD Katas emulate Japanese (Shotokan) with the addition of some high kicks

Yeah, a legendary pioneer.

What is your Grandmaster's name/lineage and does ot belong to a TJD organization? Also, is he certified by the Kukiwon (if I spelled this correctly)?

Yeah, and no. Black belt in a couple of systems. No such rank in another couple. White belt, whgich is a high (somewhat like a black belt) in another. The later, a Yellow being the highest per Chinese decor. The white symbolized much knowledge atauned. Somewhat like emerging from dark (the black was beginer/no seeing) to light (white-all seeing).

Tae Kwon Do=Kick Punch Way...Definitely the "kick" is in the front.

Yeah, I know that. I was just making a general statement

But a kiah is the same as any noise when wanting to expell power?

So, any members in the Gulf States (Tex, La,Miss)

No arguement there.

I guess what I am trying to say, is that is it exclusive to Goju practitioners?

Yeah, I guess anything can adapt to a ranking/colorization.

That giy should be old now and I bet he is still interesting to watch

DM, I like your posts, well most of them. But, you know what I say about opinions......

Just threw a question out there. i saw I legless martial artist. Wow, he had some defenses.

Hmmnn

Any more benefits?

What about 2x4x5?
