Let's see.
From beginner to 6. dan rank would take something like 20 - 25 years in most styles.
And this guy received the rank in his twenties - starting out when he was 11? Really...
And a truly exquisite role model he seems to be also.
Story:
Despite pleas for leniency from family and friends, former state Department of Children and Families computer specialist John R. Peloso III was sentenced to prison for eight years Thursday for drugging and sexually assaulting a former colleague.
Growing up in East Hartford, where his father was an executive at a local aerospace firm, Peloso was teased because of the black eyepatch. Despite the teasing, Peloso persevered, taking up karate at age 11.
By his 20s Peloso had opened up his own tae-kwon-do school in Glastonbury, and achieved a sixth-degree black belt.
Over the years, he taught thousands of students, quitting only when his picture was plastered in the media, and the eyepatch made him instantly recognizable.
Peloso, prosecutor David L. Zagaja said, was a "predator" who "got off" on drugging women and then sexually assaulting them.
