MasterPain Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 It varies. It should take several years of a few days a week. My fists bleed death. -Akuma Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UselessDave Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 Depends much from the style and the dojo. But yes, several years - usually. "People study from boredom.

Montana Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 I've seen people, with no prior experience, get it in as little as 11 months...from certain systems.Are they any good?Depends on your definition of good I guess. I'd say no, they aren't very good at all.

I'd say no, they aren't very good at all.Its at least 5-6 years of hard training in traditional Matsubayashi schools. If there is one thing I have learned from years of training, you get back what you put forth. One year for a black belt? Ok.

Kuma Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 Like many have said, it all depends on the system. I've been training in Kyokushin for over six years now and am still in the kyu grades, with the average expectation being about 10 years for shodan.

Spodo Komodo Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 How long for a black belt? About 280 cm, three for a tenner to you chief...Seriously, it takes as long as it takes*, look up Bruce Lee's "finger pointing at the moon" speech (its older than that but he did it so well). It's some of the best advice on advancement there is.*assuming a decent club/school that it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brickshooter Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 IMO, it takes about 500 - 900 hours to in class training to earn a black belt.If you're nonathletic, it'll be the higher end. If you're athletic, it'll be the lower end. If you're relatively athletic, heal quick, and can squeeze in 500 hours in one year, then you may earn it in one year.

sensei8 Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 Imho, earning a black belt based on hours is not a solid way, again...imho. **Proof is on the floor!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
