I haven't done any form of martial arts (TKD) for a number of years now (9).

But having said that, if my Master (still) was to award a minor with a Black Belt (not that he would anyway) - I would seriously consider leaving the club.

No Senior Black Belt (Master's) of any style could seriously expect to credit any child so young and expect the World Taekwondo Association to acknowledge it with the respect it would generally be deserving. The youngster would have to be a seriously gifted child with the aptitude of a person ten yeras his elder (at least).

Perhaps the dad made a nice donation to the club ??
