Yes & your stated fact that it takes 7 years to earn a BB proves that your concept of what a BB is varies greatly from Gen Choi's, so apples & oranges!
I'll flipped the question to get at my point/concept:
It takes your students 7 years to earn a BB. So lets say for illustration purposes the average training shcedule is 3 times a week for an hour or so each session. All things being the same, equal, 1 student trains double that, 6 days a week, 4 hours a day. is it not logical to conclude that they will be ready for BB before those who do the 3 days a week, for about an hour?
And if you still insisted that they wait 7 years, does logical & simpler common sense dictate that the person who trained more than double the others, who have achieved more?

True & I only added some acrobatic typs of movements, as we have basic or fundamental movements that vary for each level, as far as degree of difficulty goes. The basics all have to be applied & in a SD setting, their experience & capability hopefully will expand via free sparring where anything goes, ground etc & that they will also be tested in mutiple settings. It is all about SD, physically, with much more added in. Very difficult to compare accross systems or approaches to training.
That being said, I think our students would be roughly equal after the same 7 years of training, except mine my wear a higher/different belt. I am not focusing or getting hung up on belts, which are very subjective at the least!

I am not talking about 2 years, but rather 1,248 hours ammassed in a 1 year period, dedicated to learning our basics, so our system can then move to the next step of instruction. I personally do not think it is a fair criticism to apply outside terms or concepts to a specific set of circumstances that I have outlined & is well documented, as a way of showing that the described system is flawed or weak.

You do not have to agree totally, but your critique should be limited to the system proposed & not outside methods or goals - as that is apples & oranges.
But we do agree that BB are given out far too easily.
I am not talking about that at all, in no way shape or form. However you & your view or vision of what a BB is, is simply not part of a defined scenario. I would like to think that our students would stand side by side after 7 years & look pretty much the same!

I understand what your saying, I wont argue with you any more, because
a) I dont want to be stubborn/disrespectful
b) I can understand your logic.

Im sure your SD methods are good and solid, I wasnt suggesting otherwise, I train with a TKD instructor and the SD I have seen him perform seems reasonable to me.

Like I said I cannot agree, but I can understand, and respect what your saying

By the way, just to clear something up, I am not a teacher, some of the things you wrote kind of suggested I have students, I apologize if I gave the impresion that I teach what I study, as Im sure you can imagine if it takes seven years to reach BB, its quite some time to start teaching your own students.

Sorry no problem, but my point remains, after 7 years, we would all be pretty much on he same page.
Thanks
