Karate?????????

So, how long do u think it%26#039;l take me to get a black belt in karate?|||5 years minimum lol :-) but i bet at has one already and been to nationals 6 times lol|||Depemds on the school, and whether you want to earn one or buy one. You can go to a McDojo and pay your money and get one within 1-2 years, or you can go to a real school and it should take a minimum of 4 years.





remember that Black belt is only where you are now considered a serious student.





It all depends on whether a belt or actually knowing what you are doing is more importent.|||At least four years and closer to five. That is much better actually than back when I first started doing karate and it took several usually. Classes then were not separated by rank, there were no children%26#039;s classes, very few women and a class was 90 minutes and sometimes ended up being two hours. Instructors had high standards and a double promotion of any belt was almost unheard of. Achieving your first black-belt meant that you only had mastered the basics and then your training would really begin after that. Much has changed since then and with good but somewhat lesser standards, classes separated by rank so that each group can be focused on more easily it should still take you four to five years. Anything less usually does not allow for a student to acquire the experience that should go with their knowledge and skill and I think is one of the big reasons why some black belts are so poor in the understanding and ability to use their art.|||depends on what type of karate u do and how dedicated u r?


i have been doing kiaido ryu martial arts (karate in nz-thames dojo) for at least 5years.i have my 1st degree black belt and going in for my 2nd degree black belt in july..and im going to be the youngest female in nz 2 get the 2nd degree in kiaido ryu and my lil brotha is gona b the youngest guy to get 2nd degree at 14yrs old....... i just practice every chance i get.my brother is only 14years old and he is a blackbelt in karate he has been doing it also 4 5 years.we r dedicated the more dedicated the faster u may go up the ranks.........so practice hard listen and u mite go far.......|||Again as many people have mentioned it depends on the school. I have been engaging in kickboxing for over eight years now and it took me 8 years to get to black belt. I had many friends who over took me and got it a lot sooner, but I wanted to earn mine.





When I took the grading it was over 2 days (sat 5 hours, sun 8.15 hours), it was the hardest experience of my life. What I did notice was the lack of skill the other black belts had. Even the people going for there 3rd Dan were in my eyes only good enough to be black belts.





You see if you train hard and try your best to perfect every technique, then you will be s**t hot when it comes to your gradings. In every grading I have had I always get asked to spar with the higher grades so I can be put under more pressure and give the higher grades a run for there money.





So my advice to you would be not to rush to do your gradings, because it is better to be a great black belt rather than a poor one. The journey is more important than the destination!





Hope this helps mate:-)|||Hi. I practise karate and have a brown belt. If you start practising karate now after 10 years you will propably get a black belt. If you are very dedicated and hard working, you may get it in 8 or even 7 years. But remember this : True Karate starts after black belt.





:)|||some instructors are very lenient. And if they think your are maxing out your potential they are more likely to jump you up the belts faster.





i think your looking at 2 years (on the low end with a easy instructor) if you are Very diligent and very athletic.|||Hallo!


It really depends on your fitness and whether or not you feel comfortable wearing a gey (those white things).


My brother said you can get it in 6 years.





But breaking bricks are extremley difficult. You may have to wait a wee while for that





Bis Bald!|||Depends on how dedicated you are to learning about your art. Then again, achieving a black belt is merely %26#039;mastering the basics.%26#039; It%26#039;s only the beginning. The belt won%26#039;t fight for you.|||3 to 5 yrs depending on your input and school you choose :)***|||i bet you%26#039;ll end up quitting newayz lol
