Left leg cross-steps behind right as right & left hands come across the body. Body lowers into cross-step as hands circle over head and meet at the navel. Hands come up together, as if you were cupping water, as you rise out of cross-step to feet together, hands turn over and press down as you bow.

Pay them in Monopoly money.

Instructor in a 3 piece suit huh. When I was still with TKD, there was this one kid whose father got really into living vicariously thru his son's tkd tournaments. He would dress up in 3 piece suits too when he went to these tournaments with his son.

However, he was a good 225-250 pounds and was an ex undercover DEA agent.

Moral of the story: if they are wearing a suit its probably to distract you from all the crazy scars they have underneath from fighting over the last several decades.

Unless.... maybe thats the uniform u have to wear when you become an instructor!!! You have to wear a three piece linen made in italy suit. They probably have silk patches you can have sewn onto ur suit too.

Wow if thats wat instructors wear I wonder what the masters wear. Tuxedos? Maybe if you get real high in the ranking you can earn ur cummerbund.

Probably cost alot tho. Give them BoardWalk and a RailRoad and ur Get out of Jail Free card...

Miguk... what the hell is your avatar?

The part where how much it costs is based on how much you've got is kind-of creepy.
I've had free lessons when I was broke and paid when I wasn't, but that's different
than basing it on income-level/profile. Hmmm

Great reporting Bun-yip! Now for you're first lesson haggle with them up front about the price. I do not have a credit card I must bring the correct amount of cash!

In response to the questions:

No, I don't have a hidden camera. No, Ms. S___ is not hot. And no, I don't have any good reason for leaving out their names, but it doesn't add anything to the story to include them, and I don't know anything about libel laws, so they're staying out.

Anyway, without further ado, lesson 1:
