smckeown Posted June 7, 2007 Posted June 7, 2007 Just curious. How long did it take to you reach shodan? (for those are shodan that is )Took me about 8 years for shodan and 15 for nidan but basically from a lack of spare time due to a wife and 2 kids I did take the long route Scotthttp://www.pressurepointkarate.com
Elky Posted June 7, 2007 Posted June 7, 2007 Got 1st kyu in four years but three years later haven't got 1st dan yet. And I don't suck that much!
lordtariel Posted June 8, 2007 Posted June 8, 2007 In our school it's typically around 4-5 years. Can get it in about 3 1/2 if your really serious about it. There's no place like 127.0.0.1

isshinryu5toforever Posted June 13, 2007 Posted June 13, 2007 In our Karate school usually 5-6 years. I have seen people in Taekwondo get to 1st dan in as short a time as one year.

G95champ Posted June 17, 2007 Posted June 17, 2007 Too me just over 3.The fastest I have seen it done is 2.5 but it takes most about 3-4 years assuming they start as adults. It will take kids longer because we don't issue anyoen a blakc belt until they are 15.BTW our school only has 9 Kyu ranks you start as a 10 Kyu so that is something to look at as far as how long. Some schools go 6 some 8 some 10 some 12 some I have seen as many as 16. (General George S.
