Just started karate

[Python]

well yesterday I went to my first karate class

 

Seems quite good. Being taught by two black belts.

I'm glad to hear it. What system is it?

[Kamiya]

Good luck mate. What style is it?

Hello everyone.

 

I ve also just started training. We already had 4 pracitices and I feel great. I hope i will get some usefull info on this forum.

 

Oh the style is Tradicional Shotokan Karate. Our master is 6.dan black belt with over 35 years of teaching experience but currently we are trained by his best student that is 2. dan black belt.

Good Luck and stick with it!

Im not quite sure what style it is, lol

 

Also im not quite sure what dan the teacher is, Im guessing at least a 3

 

Just curious:

 

for those of you doing karate how long did it take for you to progress from white belt to the next?

I got my yellow belt (after white in my association) after about 3 months training. I think that's about normal. I've been training now for about 2 years and I've moved through white, yellow, orange, green, 1st purple, 2nd purple and 1st brown belt. I guess that's an average of four months per belt.

 

Of course it all depends on how often you train.

 

Have fun!
