Yes I do believe all models of kids world-wide come with those instructions!Kids are very good at winding adults up don't forget
If it were me, I would of just let it all slide. I mean, the kid is 12 and has not matured yet.
Guys, it sounds like the OP is a child too. I wouldn't be surprised if he is a 14 year old and ran into a mouthy 12 year old that got him riled up. The whole situation sounds too absurd to be the behaviour of an adult towards a child. That said, it is of no matter how old you are, you should never discredit someone's rank or art or training or instructor. It is incredibly discourteous and thus violates of the first tenet of TaeKwon Do.
Hi, my real name is Sameh (Sammy) and my middle name is Nuhash, on most other forums i am known as STEELSLASHER, it will probably change in the future
I am 16 and have been practicing ITF TKD for about 9 months (my instructor said i have been progressing really quickly for some odd reason), when i was younger i did wing chun but the training style was excessively boring (it focused mainly on patterns, i prefer to practice moves although patterns are really easy for me, recently perfected the tornado kick which was a huge accomplishment for me)
I hope to start competing as soon as i get back home, but it probably wont be the case because of school
In the long term, i want to learn kendo because i like the idea of holding a sword
thanks for all the comments, i read through each one and i have gained quite an understanding, i understood it was rude to laugh at him and i did sincerely apologise to him but he threw it in my face, i didnt expect him to forgive me but i atleast expected him to acknowledge my apologies, furthermore, since watching me perform koryo he has apparently decided to ignore me according to a mutual friend and has spread rumours about me (which i can prove because he put it on facebook)
so by my understanding i have tried to right my wrongs, i have now decided to not do anything about him at all, this experience, while not being handled well, has helped me understand the concept of "actions speak louder than words", it is in our natural human instincts to question everything we hear and if it collides with what we have been taught then we become more aggressive about this matter and require stronger evidence to believe.
Several people have said "why this is a problem for me?", well as i said before it was a natural reaction for me, but it was not helped by his later reactions and so i understand that until writing this post it has been a problem because he was headstrong in not accepting or understanding that what colour belt you are wearing gives very little indication to your skill (he did say that my instructor was rubbish when he only knew his belt and said that it was impossible for me to do flying side kicks etc. and poomsae required for higher belts)
I have overcome this problem by understanding myself a bit more, i learnt quite a few things about myself, and i hope to use these findings in the future to take new challenges and find new things to learn. I just want to end this by saying thank you, and that some of the best lessons are learnt from mucking up.
The OP got hammered a little (not bad, just a little) for being immature and not handling the situation very well. The above response to all the comments might not be perfect, or even best, but I think it shows a willingness to at least try to mature and handle these situations better in the future. The OP says " i learnt quite a few things about myself, and i hope to use these findings in the future to take new challenges and find new things to learn. I just want to end this by saying thank you, and that some of the best lessons are learnt from mucking up". That's really all you can ask of a kid I think.

That is the thing about kids, especially the ones who show that type of immaturity -- they don't add anything to the conversation, so it is difficult to take them seriously.
There are no KKW dans at that age,there are however KKW poom belts at that age.Another reason not to make a 12 year old a 2nd Dan.

If you think a BB is a killing machine then KKW poom is not what you are thinking of by any stretch of the imagination. KKW poom is more like Boy Scouts or Girl Scouts on steroids,you get the merit badges and do the required forms,break some boards and there you are.Wait one year and bang,you test for second.We all know they are poom's,ie kids,ie nothing to sweat over.
Thats great! I heard noone watched TKD in the Olympics.
Well,you know how these judges are when it comes to the English, they think you guys are a bit snobbish,I think they thought to teach ye a little humility.I watched on the BBC news when the British girl was robbed of her chance of gold medal by corrupt judges.

So, to you it's amusing that a young woman's dreams of Olympic gold are smashed then? Sarah is from Yorkshire and you'll find nowt snobby about her, she worked hard for years only to see her chances ruined by the judges favouring the Chinese girl.
When one of my younger students with a white belt can take a 6th dan to the mat and control him in a hold down. What does this say for rank?
