<p>Choosing between a low ranked master vs. a top ranked master. Why would you choose a lower ranked master to learn from? Because he will give you an easier time? This to me is a silly reason to not go to a top ranked master. Learning from the best to me is a very easy choice to make. </p>

<p>Since you'll be learning "tae kwon do" in college in classes with at LEAST ten other students, often 50+ other students. If the other students in the class are beginners and you're a black belt, it doesn't really matter how good the master is -- you're going to have to sit there and be bored while he answers their ignorant questions and teaches them the basics. So I'd worry first about your fellow "athletes" and second about the "master."</p>
