...is a weird place to be. You want to focus on Rick Ross' group, no big thing, not one of the people I know of from the yahoo group and elsewhere are part of Ross' group, nor ever were. Newscasters, legitimate newspaper journalists, and many, many former higher and lower belts, all have said the same thing- Kim's school is a weird, cult like experience.
Really, the main symbol of the org is J. Kim jump side kicking, yet their very website states that it's supposedly him levitating down the equivalent of 11 stories. How much more evidence do you need of cult like claims? It's not rocket science folk.
Any long time instructor from the past can tell you a whole bunch of crazy claims the organization holds. Ask about the cobra, or the eighteen to the right and left, or about the broken english as spoken by AMERICANS trained within the schools. These things are pretty much common knowledge about the schools.
Discredit all the people you like, it doesn't make your school any more normal or poitive a place to be.
