Dynamic Self Defence

Sorry but the site is linked to Choi Kwang Do and Nick Hennings, so is a Primary source, fine to support he lived somewhere of what a kata looks like, not for a big claim like teaching marital arts to the military. --Nate1481(^t/_c) 14:36, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

• Comment Dynamic self Defence has nothing to do with choi kwang do, it is another organisation, it not a big claim it fact it is every where on the net.--Diamonddannyboy (talk) 18:12, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

Untitled section

Made some corrections.

1) The first section where it claims Choi Kwang Do draws heavily from TKD and quotes a source in the Atlanta Journal. Choi Kwang Do was NOT introduced until March 2nd 1987. Prior to this Grandmaster Kwang Jo Choi was teaching a modified version of Tae Kwon Do (Kwang Duk Kwan) while further developing his theories for CKD.

2) The belt system. The belt system did not go from 9 belts to 18 to reach Il Dan (1st Degree black Belt) with the addition of striped coloured belts between colours. There was already a striping system in place for colour belts from Purple belt on, as listed. This was then chaged around 1997 when the new syllabus and belts were introduced. It is also worth bearing in mind at this time that the Bo Dan (Plain black belt - provisional) was elliminated from the requirements to get to Il Dan black belt.

Changes made by Dale Miller - 4th Dan Chief Instructor of CKD and a student since January 1992. CKDWales@yahoo.co.uk —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.86.252.131 (talk) 12:50, 19 September 2008 (UTC)

Prior to 1999 CKD had 11 colored belts before introducing "senior" belts for each colored belt. The new curriculum increased the total number of colored belts to 18. Each senior belt retained the original pattern, while the solid colored belts were demoted to a simplified one directional pattern. CKD schools charge students for each belt exam before their exam or either incorporate the cost into the students monthly tuition fees. With the new belt system, CKD school effectively collect more fees from belt exams.

Removed this as it isnt accurate. The patterns were not retained as is. Some were modified and new ones were introduced. Having been a student of Choi Kwang Do when this occured I can verify this.

Also - why is there a need to bring up the fact that CKD schools charge for gradings or that say the only reason that more ranks were added was to generate more money only? You dont see this discussion on the TaeKwonDo section. With the new belts added the syllabus was increased and there was more to learn, so it ended up with a student with a far greater range of techniques and abilities.

I dont see why this should be added just for political posturing. If you are going to put info here then put the full information, not just selected bits. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.86.252.131 (talk) 15:10, 1 October 2008 (UTC)
