How long does it take to become a red belt in karate?

My work supervisor is saying that he has been taking karate for the past month and that we shouldn%26#039;t mess with him because he is already a red belt, and he could really hurt us badly if we make him look bad. He said he started taking karate after he got caught for threatening to %26quot;bash skulls%26quot; with a 2 by four.





Does this make sense? I thought it took years to advance in karate.|||If he%26#039;s only a red belt, he can%26#039;t have been doing it for only a month. But he won%26#039;t know the techniques well enough to use them properly or quick enough to actually hurt you. I%26#039;m 6th belt and I%26#039;ve been doing it for 3 years, though the higher you get the more it costs and you have to do the grading a lot less.|||He%26#039;s not telling you the truth unless he took martial arts before. There are different stages and if he is a red belt already than he is like in the top 1%.


Is it in fact karate? Or you%26#039;re just calling it that.


My husband is a 2nd degree black belt in Tae Kwon Do and there are like 4 or 5 belts(don%26#039;t remember exactly) before getting red.


Red is right below Black belt|||Right here we go, usually you get your red belt no problem, i know people will say im stupid for saying what i just said but its true, gradings get harder as you progress, belts in order off receiving them, white,red,yellow,lorange,green,purple,br... stripe,1st dan black belt--2nd dan and so on......hmm so your talking 8 months, definately no longer then a year.Took me 5 months to get mine, but im doing really good, but no way in one month|||Check this out it may answer your question.. I found my training more adept on every occasion I added a few martial arts training. try the martialarm http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9A36HDEmT... The martial arm is the only martial arts training dummy that offers you complete realism in all your martial arts training. The martial arm moves and twists up, down, left and right just like a real opponent would.|||as long as you take to learn all the moves and dicipline to keep them instilled in your body.
