Shotokan karate black belt

JonKelleher · 2014-03-17 19:02:16

Hey guys, I was wondering how long does it normally take to earn a black belt in Shotokan? I know everyone progresses at different speeds, it depends how often you train etc. But training twice a week and being reasonably fit, how long should it take to progress through the belts?

I think someone already answered this one for you over on the thread where you asked about time to get a tkd black belt

Well Jon, I think Professey Chin's answer was about as accurate as you're going to get - it's a few years.
