Southeastern Taekwondo Education Council...

Anyone heard of it? A couple of my husband's former students decided they wanted to open their own school here...I don't question their ability to teach, but I do question their TKD abilities and when they said their instructors were all certified by this group, it made us wonder...we haven't found anything on the web about it (and I'm hoping they don't frequent this bulletin board... ...)

 

I know organizations don't really mean anything anymore, but I thought it interesting that one of them is listed as a 3rd degree when she couldn't pass the 2nd decided exam for my husband...I guess if you make your own organization you can be anything you choose...

 

Just curious.

I've never heard of the group. It reminds me of what a friend of mine did too. When I moved to my current location, A friend who worked at the same radio station, who was a legitimate 3rd degree (don't remember what style), tried to begin his own TKD association here in Northern Michigan. He tried to give me an instant promotion from 1st to 2nd degree if I would join his group. I never did... I still have the certificate that he gave to me... I show it to my students so they can see that if they want a black belt without training to get one, then they might as well go order one, along with a bogus certificate, and quit wasting my time.
