In my old TKD school there were about 20 of them. About 15 of them were under the age of 12.

And that's why I quit TKD.

Sensei is 5th dan ,there is a 2nd dan , there are some guys from different hoochi-mama ryus that sensei let them keep their black belts, funny thing is they allways show off their forms in the first class ,as soon as they see a high level shorinryu or white crane kata they never do their sloppy forms anymore.

Wow, at my school they have only promoted five people to Shodan in 8 years, only one has made it to sandan so far

We have a total 19 black belts in our system - Lineage below(Hanshi Leo Kozloski 9th Dan, Master Bruce Saver 7th Dan, Sensei Eric Cranston 6th Dan, Sensei Christiian Grant and Evan Frankel 4th Dans, Sensei Christian Way and Ed Harding 2nd Dans. The rest are all Shodans. The last three listed which includes myself just achieved out Shodan ranking this past June. Diane Ahmann is the first female that our Hanshi has ever personally promoted to Shodan. It was pretty exciting for both of them. We have a Black and Brown belt class where we learn a lot of new things. It's never boring. Currently we have another black belt in another style that has asked to train with us. He knows escrima and has been teaching us what he knows. It's awesome! He's a great Martial Artist and is also learning our system as well. It's a great mix. Here's a link that tells a little about our Hanshi.

I know the ones in Bold are still currently training, there may be others as well.

Style:

HON-SHIN-DO was born out of the Karate efforts of

Masters Leo Kozloski and Bruce Saver. Senseis Eric Cranston and Christiaan Grant along with other high ranking Black Belts were the main catalyst for the birth of a new style of Martial Arts with old roots in Okinawan Shorie Ryu.
