I felt like Bill Murray in the movie ground hog day. Each class was a first day beginners class. There are children that you can reach and recruit to your school but in the end I had to give it up because it was too frustrating. You are cover under their insurance as long as you are an employee.

You can purchase $ 2 million in liability insurance for about $400 starting for 30 students for a small down payment and so much per month for 9 months. Remember that if you have a problem and you wind up having 100 students and have not increased your coverage you will have no coverage at all. --__--__-- Message: 2 From: Ray To: the_dojang@martialartsresource.net Subject: Re: [The_Dojang] Master Dan USTF World Hanmadang the wave of the future (dan scholten) Date: Wed, 5 Mar 2008 10:35:29 -0800 Reply-To: the_dojang@martialartsresource.net On Mar 4, 2008, at 6:38 PM, Robert Martin wrote: > Master Dan, > > I am seriously confused by what you mean by the "USTF"?
