More I think about it, the more it upsets me that shit like this is going on. Obviously this is a case of someone simply trying to profit using kumdo/kendo. Since he cannot get the necessary credentials from a real kumdo school, he'll simply go through the fast track process set up by these fake organizations (the fake organizations typically set up the fast track to kodansha process in order to rapidly gain popularity). I wonder if he even knows how many years he would have to train with a legitimate school to attain 4 dan. Assuming that you can reach shodan in 1 year which I believe is very aggressive, it would still take 8 years and from what I can see, he "trained kumdo" since September 2002.

Ugh...
