How many years did it take to get those black belts lexx?

 

One of my friends practice karate, and he says shotokan is very "mainstream" karate, where you get belts pretty quickly. He is practicing kyuokoshinkai karate where it takes a minimum of 5 years to get the black belt, so I'm wondering on behalf of him how long it takes.

 

Anyway, I'm not practicing any kind of martial art, unless fast finger reflexes in computer games counts :D

 

I am considering beginning on karate, but I just found out that would mean that my mate would have to give me lessons if I did

 

:rolleyes:

 

It took both of us 4 years to get our black belts, but we both double graded twice (skipped orange and yellow belt) which shortened the time a bit. There are 3 months between belts.

 

Yes, shotokan is very mainstream, like Kung Fu, Tae Kwan Do, Judo, Tai Chi etc, but they are all good styles nethertheless. There are good instructors and bad instructors, I would recommend you be taught by someone who is at least 4th dan.
