For Knights of Wong Do (KO'W), your King, HRH Dr. Green, KO'G, recites a Westpoint cadet's:

Heritage
How are they all?
"They are all fickle but one, sir."

How many lights in Cullum Hall?
"340 lights, sir."

How many gallons in Lusk Reservoir?
"78 million gallons, sir, when the water is flowing over the spillway."

How many names on battle monument?
"2,230 names, sir."

How is the cow?
"Sir, she walks, she talks, she's full of chalk, the lacteal fluid extracted from the female of the bovine species is highly prolific to the nth degree."

What is the definition of leather?
"If the fresh skin of an animal, cleaned and divested of all hair, fat and other extraneous matter, be immersed in a dilute solution of tannic acid, a chemical combination ensues; the gelatinous tissue of the skin is converted into a non-putresible substance, impervious to and insoluble in water; this sir, is leather.

What do plebes rank?
"Sir, the Superintendent's dog, the Commandants's cat, the waiters in the Mess Hall, the Hell Cats, the Generals in the Air Force, and all the Admirals in the whole damned Navy."

Wong Do (Prosperous Way) Martial Arts was founded by Dr. Green with one of its roots in Kendo thus part of our heritage is in common with Samarai. Among other roots is one based upon Dr. Green's military experience as a cadet at USMA, Westpoint, NY (see "Heritage," of a cadet above.)

Dr. Chang Pao Hsing, Ph.D. (Univ. of Pennsylvania), 1st Dan (separately 1st Dan, Kendo, and a Taiwan University Champion, early 1980's.).

Policy: Founder's Dan rank is plus one relative to highest Wong Do Dan rank of any member.

International Society of Wong Do Martial Arts grants certificates for Kyu grades (white, blue, green, purple, brown belts), and Dan ranks (Black belt first degree or higher) on an earned or honorary basis.

Select persons of Black Belt (Dan) status are eligible for consideration to become a Knight of Wong Do. From among these few, only willing loyal subjects to HRH Dr. Green's family and their Kingdom of Green are chosen to be Knights of Wong Do for their contribution to KO'G. However, if an individual of Black Belt status in Wong Do desires to become a Knight of the KO'G, there is a way to find acceptance. First, tell your would be King your reasons for desiring to become a Knight of KO'G. Then, through both service and training, you may become a Knight of KO'G. This method may be preferred by persons with an honorary black belt since service need not be rendered in capacity of a Page or a Squire to a Knight of KO'G since service is rendered to King and KO'G.

Dr. Green, with over 40 years training, experience and teaching in martial arts (Judo, Karate, etc.), was taught by, among others, instructors serving USAF (including one whom claims to have studied under the post WWII Great Champion of Japan Mas Oyama) and a Philipino that resembled Mas Oyama in unbelievable speed and power, the head instructor at USMA, West Point, NY, and in the university system studied beginning, intermediate and advanced Wado Ryu Karate under Sensei Toshio Osaka. Wong Do appreciates all martial arts styles and their contributions to martial arts, sciences, and sport.

Various Black Belt instructors at 3rd or higher Dan rank in other styles, such as Tang Soo Do, certified several students--taught by Dr. Green--for tournament competition at 1st or 2nd Degree Black Belt ranks. Judges, however, have been openly overbearing against some larger students of Wong Do. One look at Joe Krider for example, standing over six feet and nearly 300 pounds, tells you he can pick up a car by himself. Students of Wong Do have also taught Dr. Green a lesson on occasion. Meet scholar-athlete Gary for example, 6' 7" tall and curling 250 lbs. with ease to warm up- artist for Ko'G's coat of arms!
