I started in Karate when I was 4, and advanced quickly because of the fast paced nature of the school. I transfered to a tae kwan do school when I had gotten by black belt because I found an even more excelerated program at the tae kwan do school. The only reason I am so young at this degree is because of the excelerated programs. I've been told bey several martial artists that my degree is disputable because of those programs, and you're more than welcome to your opinion. Only a few tae kwan do organizations recognise my rank. Outside of those organizations, I could be called an advanced 3rd degree (as my third degree was obtained from ATA, a universally accepted degree). I also understand if you find no reason to take me at my word, as you have no idea who I am. I wouldn't blame you. All I can do is explain myself.
