How Long Does It Take To Get A Taekwondo Black Belt

How long does it take to get a taekwondo black belt is a most common question

. You will hear it phrased for a taekwondo black belt, or a martial arts black belt. But whatever martial art you are referring to, there are wildly inflated opinions as to how long it should take to reach expert level in the martial arts.

To get your black belt taekwondo certification takes five years, claimed one website I recently visited. A well read blog went on a tirade claiming that less than 4 years karate training would not qualify one for a real black belt. One popular forum had scores of taekwondists foaming at the mouth over black belt degrees.

So, I probably shouldn't tell you this, there will be lots of fellows sharpening their sickles, but I have a student who started in October, and it is now April, and he is almost to black belt. That's about seven months. In fact, he realized the other day that it had only taken him about forty hours of martial arts instruction to close in on an expert ranking.

Before you started knotting a noose and searching for a tree, let me make a couple of points about how long it takes to get a karate black belt or a martial arts black belt of any kind. Mastering a field of study is more based on what you know, not how many pull ups (forms, bunkai, etc.) you can memorize. With the correct training,a person can master an large number of difficult movements within a half year.

Go into a gym and start learning acrobatics. In a half year they will have you doing some incredible back flips and twists and somersaults and what have you. These tricks are actually more difficult than most karate techniques.

One of my martial arts secrets is that I don't toss a fellow into a classroom full of students who don't have any real knowledge and expect him to learn something just by mindlessly copy catting a bunch of forms or tricks. I don't tell my martial arts students that doing a kata will, in fifteen or so years, open the doors for him (it might, but my way is faster and more certain). Instead, I give actual instruction going into the exact physics of the martial arts, physics which are, to be honest and truthful, not taught in any karate dojo, or kung fu training hall anywhere.

I also concentrate on learning three forms well, instead of a variety of forms. The forms I teach are logical (they are matrixed), they can be done two man style, and they cover the full range of motion and they teach nothing but workable techniques. I am not concerned with giving a physical work out (though that does happen); I am sharing knowledge--I am in a classroom, not a training hall for action junkies.

My student has shown full intuition inside of six months instead three or four years. He can mix and match attacks with no hesitation, and with enough power to knock a rhino over. Using my training methods, and stripping the various arts of all the more useless techniques and any martial art can be learned in a half year--and that is how long it takes to get a taekwondo black belt, or a martial arts black belt of any sort.
