I´d like to provide this software under the GNU Public License (so it will be free Software). I started this project because recently our old Access Database for Graduation tests did explode to some degree. This forced me to work on a new Database design. Now I think of providing this work as an Open Source project to the Net community. I already did some programming on it. Indeed I used it already to produce the necessary paperwork for two graduations test (38 probands and 113 probands) I have currently the following features in it: - - Announcing proband for a Graduation test - - Producing the necessary paper list - - Approve the new Graduation after the test (or deny ....) - - Lookup of the graduation history What is currently missing: - - The plain management of the people (i´ve entered them into the database with a different tool, phpMyAdmin). This will be the next enhancement, and will be done before I release the first public version. - - Internationalisation (currently any output is german language) - - a better authentication system. There are the following requirements: - - A Webserver with PHP 3 (with mysql access and PDFlib) - - MySQL as the database Anybody interested in this project? Maybe also some people who would like to participate in the project? I´m also interested in input, which features you need. Details about the project should be discussed outside of The_Dojang I think.

Originally, I asked what some of the "high rank" testing requirements were. In other words, in your org/style, what does it take (outside of a physical exam) for a 5th, 6th, 7th degree black belt to promote? Some/many require a certain number of students. Some require that they are "certified instructors" at early level black belts. What else??? For some reason, everyone got off on the "should we teach" tangent. And I am pleased with the number of well thought-out posts. I'd like to make this a separate thread from the above paragraph. If we, as high ranks, should be required to teach (which seems to be the consensus from the replies I read), then how should it be quantified? 1) How many should we teach? - As many as possible - Can we limit the number - What if we only teach one student 2) How long should we teach? 3) When should we start? - at a certain rank - start early, gradually increasing teaching skill as I go 4) goals of teaching: - create independance? - create new teachers? - pass on all knowledge? Please elaborate your thoughts on these points as well as points of your own.

Did you have time in rank, # of classes to attend, etc., to get from Dan-bo to 1st Dan in addition to the extra techniques?

Have any of you out there created your own martial arts organization/Kwan? Or perhaps your own organization that is affiliated with/under another group, e.g the KHF or KHA or ITF or ?? What motivated you to create your org? What benefits have you, your students, or your fellow affiliated instructors realized from your organization? Just curious...
