Never have I been so excited to see my kids finish a black belt. 3 years, more time and money than I could ever have imagined and finally it's here. Despite the kids testing in May 2012, our 3 year contract running out in Sept 2012, we still had to attend for two extra months, at full cost, to order to have our black belt certificate signed. What a racket. My two children passed their test in May and then had to wait for the belts to be shipped from Korea (insert eye roll). Pretty sure they sell belts at Michael's. Rather than understanding the needs of my children (i.e. school and tutoring obligations), we had to fulfill these last two months at a huge inconvenience and price. Don't get me wrong, my kids have amazing balance now. But, did they develop extra discipline? No. Did they develop self worth at White Tiger? No. More confidence? No. God help them, they certainly never learned how to defend themselves. Better fitness? No. There is no possible way you could convince me to sign them for one more class. The lesson$ from White Tiger are far more lasting than the supposed mental acuity ""earned"" (bought) with a belt. Parents beware!!
