koreantiger81 Posted December 15, 2001 Posted December 15, 2001 I train under the Jhoon Rhee system of tae kwon do..It's affliated with I.T.F..If I.T.F has certain rules on how much you should charge for a black belt test, why is my master charging students 500 bucks us for their 1st degree black belt test? Is this legal? Does I.T.F have any control over the Jhoon Rhee system of tae kwon do? Kinesiologist/TrainerBlack-Belt
Jack Posted December 15, 2001 Posted December 15, 2001 I'm not sure of any answers for your questions, but personally, if I had to pay that much for a belt I would simply leave the club. Is it really worth so much of your money for that belt? Its the dedication and skill that makes the practicioner, not the belt. If I were you, I would search for another club to train at. Just my humble opinion Peace JackCurrently 'off' from formal MA trainingKarateForums.com

Angus Posted December 16, 2001 Posted December 16, 2001 You're being ripped off. Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear, not absence of fear.
Kato Posted December 17, 2001 Posted December 17, 2001 Sounds like a rip off to me...just for comparison it costs $100 Canadian where I train to test for 1st degree black belt.
SBN Doug Posted December 17, 2001 Posted December 17, 2001 We pay $250 US for 1st degree. It includes about 6-10 "regular" testing fees and an instructors uniform presented at promotion, along with your belt, that's worth about $100. Kuk Sool Won - 4th danEvil triumphs when good men do nothing.

taezee Posted December 17, 2001 Posted December 17, 2001 as soon as they said five hundred dollars ..you should have known then you were being jerked..way before you posted this Javier l Rosario instructor taekwondo/hapkidounder master Atef s Himaya"whenever youre lazy enough not to train .someone, somewhere is training very hard to kick your *"
CTpizzaboy Posted December 17, 2001 Posted December 17, 2001 Dude, you're being rip-off. For 500 dollars, I would rather by me a good heavy bag and work-out at home, than pay for a stupid belt. Who needs to go to a school and take classes. At your level, all the skills needed to defend one self is already learned. Canh T.I often quote myself. It adds spice to my conversations.
Deathcometh Posted February 22, 2002 Posted February 22, 2002 No you should think about leaving that school and try another in your area.
