Korean master protest against skip Dan promotion tests
Pictures from YouTube video
This Taekwondo korean master is protesting against the special promotion tests made by Kukkiwon.
We can see him here pretending to be willing to test for the next Dan, then he shocked them by taking off his dobok, then some of the Kukkiwon staff tried to stop him.
Special promotion tests means that masters are allowed to skip one belt and move to the next Dan, it is kind of testing for two belts instead of one.

Many grand masters were against it, and they have organized many protestations to show their opinions against it.
It is true that some people are training but they do not do the tests and keep the same Dan for a long time, while there are other masters who left Taekwondo and stopped practicing it, and they woke up after they heard they can skip the Dan.
Let's be honnest, this skip Dan thing is not good for Taekwondo as a martial art, and it is making masters focus on their certificates more than what they really can do.
Let's watch the video
