He got TKDTimes off the ground? Very cool. I enjoy the publication quite a bit. However, I have noticed that they now pick up different arts and styles here and there; not just the Korean styles anymore.

I'm curious to see the fitness requirements you're referring to. I'm wondering if they are not the same suggestions that came out as work-out tips from CM Clark.

Hello, I am a 1st deg BB in the ATA. I have found in this organazation, it depends on what school you go to how they proceed with different procedures. Our school is very strict and the students are very well trained. We do not give out BB's, they are earned. I have almost 20 years experience in the Martial Arts, Kenpo, Isshinryu, Judo, TKD. Our instructors are top quality as is the curriculum. It all depends on where you, please go to several classes and see what you think before you join anywhere, alot of schools are going to this giving Black Belts to anyone, which I do not agree with. Goodluck!!!

yea, it definitely does depend on where you go heavily in our organization. I do wish it wasn't so money driven though. its probably the best style of tkd i've seen in all my life.

I believe chief Master Clark had a hand in developing the ATA forms
