I am a Grandmaster...And it really depresses the hell out of me.

I just found out that in Kukki Taekwondo, I am a grandmaster . The definition of Grandmaster is anyone that is a Ryuk-dan, 6th degree black belt or higher. As a chil-dan, 7th degree, that means me.

As the previous owner of a commercial martial arts school. I’m ashamed to say that toward the end of my teaching career, in an effort to compete against the more commercial schools I did lower the bar a little. I’m not proud of it. This is also why I got out of the martial arts business. I could not teach Taekwondo the way I believed it should be taught and make money at it. It became a matter of conscience. I’m much happier now to be away from the day-to-day struggle of running a commercial dojung.
