Caught between two styles

[Eddie_Boston]

I'm from across the atlantic, the UK, I've heard many horror stories of the shallow and those who run mcdojangs in in the U.S, yours seems to register among those.

My Karate is good. Very traditional. My TKD is very commercialized. I was told that there are like 100 colored belts in TKD in order to keep students interested. Some dojos are in it only for the money. In one dojo I visited, in order to recieve your black belt, you had to recruit one student.

Thats just goddamn awful. 100 different belts? Shameful.

Having to recruit a new member in order to gain a black belt, sounds suspiciously like some sort of pyramid scheme.
