I wouldn't get crazy about it. This is a time honored tradition that is very common in the academic world. It is from the Latin to cause honor. So it is really only a nice way to honor someone. Even those who get an honorary doctorate degree must use the Latin initials stating it is only honorary if they wish to use it in writing. The ITF's first honorary president was granted an honorary 6th Dan back in Seoul Korea in 1966. He was the founder of the KCIA & Prime Minster of SK.

They do just to photographed close to the celebrity!

His Korean master allows me to strengthen my son's core and many other students at the school as a volunteer because I love the sport and these kids get a lot out of it. I have been volunteering my time to improve these kids strength, speed, accuracy and Technik for over 2 years now. I have parents just short of begging me to except their child in our group, but if the child doesn't want to train with us or the Master of the school doesn't consent to it, I have to say maybe another time when the child is ready. Just yesterday, the Master of the school invited me in his office to inform me that I will be awarded an honorary 1st Dan black belt. I was surprized because I have never heard of this before. I just did some research and it lead me here. I was told last night by a 4th Dan that it is huge honor to be given one. Anyways, It must be a Korean thing.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15338867466124414722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2339763048560497062.post-66977879358151220882019-07-02T02:01:48.054-07:002019-07-02T02:01:48.054-07:00Totally agreeTotally agreeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2339763048560497062.post-51268013718686413942019-06-03T20:46:11.717-07:002019-06-03T20:46:11.717-07:00Totally wrong.

I cheapens the hard work we have all put in over the years to actually EARN our black belts. If one already trains in TKD and suffers an injury or illness, then I can accept a test that matches their ability, but to give a grandmaster black belt to politicians or actors is not right. They are only getting the belt because they are a celebrity.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03838084494593265899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2339763048560497062.post-84686126486568380792019-06-03T17:53:19.288-07:002019-06-03T17:53:19.288-07:00President ObamaPresident ObamaSergiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16969748928457079581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2339763048560497062.post-92072946149367297762019-06-03T06:25:32.377-07:002019-06-03T06:25:32.377-07:00dr frederic lee (lee chen kin) the father of Briti...dr frederic lee (lee chen kin) the father of British taekwando was awarded his 9th dan by the president of the BTA in September 2018 with failing eyesight his regret that he coundnt go to korea for the grading both fred and tony quigley were awarded 9 dan for services to taekwando Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10460467273141961825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2339763048560497062.post-799674056757353902019-05-28T21:42:51.552-07:002019-05-28T21:42:51.552-07:00yes he didyes he didOlivier Rassihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04210186958743659533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2339763048560497062.post-17600320052920939792019-05-28T21:08:46.471-07:002019-05-28T21:08:46.471-07:00Didn't the Pope get one too?Didn't the Pope get one too?TREVEKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17787954750275208569noreply@blogger.com
