I am not sure I am qualified enough to make comment on this 'Official Black Belt Test'..

The floor looks of a good quality.

No wonder 'comments are disabled for this'.

Or maybe it's a spoof?

This is a fine example of Shit-Faced-Ryu! According to rumours, senseis Jim Beam and Jack Daniels developed this marvellous style by mixing Chinese Drunken gongfu with Shotokan karate after poking their peckers in a power-outlet after taking a shower. Show a little respect!

There are plenty more top quality videos from this association on youtube if anyone is interested.

This is one of my particular favourites:

Did that look a bit like Jion in there somewhere?
Because if it was that was even more OMG!

I was at a Championship of the Asian Taekwondo Union in Melbourne, Australia in 1976 and it didn't look anything like this Bob. I watched the Korean team practice and they could have passed for any karate style with their hand techniques. Mind you, they didn't look anything like the Olympic version of TKD that I have seen either. I don't know what has happened to TKD since then but this could well be a salutary warning for some wado ryu enthusiasts.

Wth?!? I hate these sorts of things because I end up wasting my life looking for info on these people. I think this is one of their teachers: http://youtu.be/ijdk4sSXwIg
