BKJ1216 Posted February 27, 2003 Share Posted February 27, 2003 Yeah I just want an idea of how long most of you have been in a martial art. Post your style and how long it took to get to your rank. White Belt- Shudokan Karate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crash Posted February 27, 2003 Share Posted February 27, 2003 I've been involved in the martial arts for about 15 years,(10 of those being primarily tsd). it took me about 4 years to reach the rank of blackbelt , I have'nt tested since then so I cant say how long it would have taken to get each degree after that.
