• How long does it take to earn a black belt?

The average time is 10-15 years.  

" It's not who's good; it's who's left. It's the hours on the mat. If you put in that time, natural athlete or not, you'll be a black belt. You're going to be somewhere in ten years, why not be a black belt? You just can't quit.
