How long does it take to get a black belt?

A student gets a black belt when they are ready, and not before. This usually takes a minimum of 3 years. With the defining moments which mark our progress in life, it is the journey that holds the real value more than the destination.

Getting a black belt in our system requires knowledge, experience and skill that can only be acquired by years of practice.

There are no shortcuts.
