How long does it take to reach black belt?
With regular training, you will reach the rank of Black Belt in a minimum of 4 years*. 

*Though this may seem a lot longer than other clubs can offer, we are a firm believer in giving you the best foundation for your Karate through traditional training. Giving you the opportunity and skills to go further than just your 1st Dan Black Belt (Black Belt grades go from 1st Dan through to 5th Dan and above).
