This sport is not in vain one of the most violent, but all the same, this did not make me like it any less. I want to draw your attention to the article https://www.lowkickmma.com/the-essence-of-mma-a-history-of-extreme-violence-as-sport/ which tells about the main essence of MMA and its history of extreme violence as a sport. People in the ancient world considered physical strength as important as the prowess of the mind. Boxing has also become one of the main sports in the United States.

I know that they have a Tae Kwon Do teacher who teaches at MP Hill Gym I believe. He claims to be able to give you a black belt within a year... I don't know how accurate that is though.

How many times a week and how long in each day do you train for? I would be very skeptical of any teacher claiming to give you a black belt in a year. It took me four years to earn mine, and had I not gotten deployed, it would have been three years.

I'm not sure how often the classes are and all the details. I took some form of karate when I was like 10 and I was nowhere near a black belt after a year. That's why I think it is just a scam.CW3 (Join to see) -

I wouldn't call it a scam, specifically, SPC (Join to see) , it's just that this individual running the course either pushes the students hard, or just gives away the black belts. If they come with Kukkiwon cards, then that individual has lowered the standard....

A black belt that is a 4th or 5th Dan or above has earned the title 'Master' and can promote students *to* black belt. The Kukkiwon relies on its Masters not to promote someone unless they deserve it...but some Masters will only see $$$$$$
