ZeRo Posted June 8, 2003 Share Posted June 8, 2003 in theory you can get your BB in ITF TKD in 3 years, but this is only if you grade at every possible chance and have the minium time at each belt grade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GuyverGirl Posted June 10, 2003 Share Posted June 10, 2003 It took me 8 years. I worked my butt off though! From what I have heard, you should check the credibility of any school that you can get your BB in under 5 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
