I may be mistaken but, I am pretty sure that you can buy, own, and sell them and even carry them to and from training or competition but not down the street. Good Luck with your hunt.

I have personaly used Eosin Panther of years. I just give him what I want in english and he does the translation. he has never been wrong. I have been involved in the Martial Arts for 25 years and the belts are probable the highest quality I have ever come across, as well as reasonabley priced. I saw the website on another post but it is https://www.eosinpanther.com. good luck

It depends on the style or more specifically the federation. I have met grandmasters that are 10 dan and then the highest rank you can obtain as a student is 9th dan. Other styles have only upto 9th dan. I have also been in the company of Grandmasters that the highest dan level at the times is 8th so it all depends

I have been teaching for many years and have ran into this many times. when I demo something I expect that the student will come at me as hard as they can, so that I do not get cought off gaurd like this. Have I gotten cought YES and we all have. How to deal with it is the question. I never demo somthing that I can not get out of period. i use the approperiat amount of force needed to get out of it. when something like this happens I like to use it as a teaching experiance. normaly it is Obvious what the students intention was to the rest of the class. Now they know that is works. After the class you need to explain why that this should not happen. Then they are probation. They will only work with person of higher rank who will be informed of the situation or I like to work with them personally. The lesson will continue until I fell they have learned. Another approach it to do privet lessons with them. Then let them set the pace of the class. I have done this many times there has not been more then one or two lessons before they learn my ability and the dangers of unnecessary hostility. Another approach it to do privet lessons with them.

We as instructors are just that. We must educate them. We are part friend, part counselor, and part teacher. Find out why they behave the way they do. Once this has been done the behavior is not normally difficult to change. Many students come to us to learn martial arts but it is up to us to also find out what they need on top of the physical curriculum. They pick martial arts over other avenue of help for a reason. What is it?

The reason that the books say the same thing is that they have basicly have the same origen. Both TKD and TSD are composit styles. Both are new Martial arts, they did not begine 2000 years ago. they both have roots going back 2000 years ago. the Grand Master nerver recieved his dan from anybody but learned mostly by watching at the start while in China. you will get diffrent answers form diffrent people about Tae kyon. some say it was a martial art. Some say that it was a street game that people bet on that only allowed feet. You will have to come up with your own conclusion on this. Korean history is not clear do to the Japanese occupation. they burned and destoried everything trying to do away with the korean heratage. so most of what you have read now was derived from word of mouth or pieced to gether form hear and there. If you want to know the true about the history of tsd try and get ahold of the Grandmasters Autobyogriphy. e-mail Moo Duk Kwan for it. this book was in limited print. there was a lot of confusion about the Grandmasters beginings and the Moo Duk Kwan. Good Luck with the reasurch. -Trapper-
