2 things that drive me crazy about Taekwondo
People that train Taekwondo and say that they are rank less.
People who have been doing Taekwondo off and on for a 25 years but are 2 Dan. And they want to be treated like a 25 year expert then a 2 Dan.
There are no such thing as a rank less black belt. Everyone in taekwondo has a color/dan rank own it. You never see this in other marshal arts. I have never heard a BJJ or Judo person say they are rank less.
If you have been doing taekwondo for 25 years off and on. And your a 2nd Dan i will treat you as a 2nd Dan not a master . Of course I treat everyone with respect from white to black belt. But i wouldn't ask them to lead a class because that is for 3rd and 4th Dans at my dojang.
If you agree or disagree i would love to hear from you. Thank you for reading my post :)
