Apparently, when the President was in South Korea, South Korean President Lee Myung-bak handed him a dobok (Taekwon-do outfit) and presented him with a blackbelt. This is an honor that takes the average student at least a year and a half. It took me around two years for my first degree of blackbelt and ten years to achieve my current rank of fourth degree blackbelt.
The original Taekwon-do started by General Choi splintered into two main groups: the World Tae Kwon Do Federation(WTF) and the International Tawkwon-do Federation (ITF).

He’s only accepting it, it’s actually for his wife.
wonder how many "salesmen of the year" plaques he's gonna have when it's all said and done. And how many "One Million Miles Without An Accident" awards.
I think he’s more proficient in “Talk One Do”...

did it include ky jelly?
He's a 7th degree black belt in bowing, it's the least they could do to recognize that.
good, let’s throw him in the UFC and see what his black belt will do for him there.

Now his wife, Bigfoot - on the other hand...
I could kick his *ss.
This twerp would get his ass pounded at a gay pride parade!
barry must be related to Kim jong ill, he’s a master of all things he has never done also...
Does this punch alignment, leading with middle knuckle, bent hip, middle gravity stance, leading with forehead look like any black belt you ever seen?
I have one of those belts that’s brown on one side and black on the other. I also speak Korean and don’t jump back in a cower when someone does a Hapkido or Judo throw in front of me.
Someone will post that pic in this thread.
Eddie the Eagle...lol
