For some image is more important than self improvement I guess....

Maybe I should skip the tests, save up $450, and just get a title. Or better yet, hold a fund raiser for myself.

This is the same place Soke Calkins bought his rank from.

I thought that was the eagle fed? Either way I thought this was quite comical..

Ripoff! Ripoff!

I can get a rank certification in ANY style I want from Ashida Kim for under 1/10th the price!

I thought it was the eagle as well. I've seen this site before, though... :miffer:- it stinks.

Sounds like you qualify to me. Do you want to be 'Champion', 'Master', 'Instructor' or all of the above?

 

[green meanie]

I wonder how much does it costs to get into the Hall of Fame...

Unless it's double secret probation.

I don't know... This "Classic Super Deluxe" sounds pretty good. Can I get that without the fries and get onion rings instead?

Hey, I'm a registered Soke for Kungate.

I'm not a big believer in spending alot of cash on this though, so, I'm registered through Buds Budget Sokeships LLC, in Talliwacker Florida. They had a special last week, buy a 10th dan, get a sokeship for $1. It was a grueling interegation though of my skills. I had to send them a file to review, and think I mixed up the clips. I meant to show them my cane defence system (ie hitting big guy with unbrulla then running like hell) but instead sent the "Best of Ginger Lynn". Seems they liked the stick work, so sent my award. I got this neat certificate, suitable for use as a placemat, a ring that'll eventually be a dull grey color, and the right to join the this elite group. I also for $19.95 can get an embroidered belt with my name and the word "Soke" on it, but it'll probably clash with my rhinestone studded Gi, so I skipped that.

No surprise there.

Is this now a Soke-granting franchise?
