Well, clearly there is room for improvement. But at least he is a legitimate TKD BB. He went from bullshido to mcdojo. Hooray?

i guess that's better then being bullshido. Right?

To me, that kind of action signals a critically low student count. That means he's looking to sell himself to people out of state and area, probably cause his reputation has taken a hit. A deserved hit. He should have stuck to TKD.

So mail or blackbelt programs designed for customers to train ALONE in a HOTEL ROOMS aren't bullshido? They are McDojoism too of course, but Bullshido also because they are almost inherently teaching crap, crapply, and giving a false sense of security etc etc.

Should there be another investigation into how he's handing out these TKD black belts through the mail?

First Strike JKD now does through the mail Nutrition guides and fitness programs. What, if any, are the rules and regulations for distributing this sort of material? I'm assuming a licensed dietitian needs to be involved somewhere, no?
