Grasping the core basics of Karate can take about one year with regular training. Students can expect to master the complete set of basics and earn a Black Belt in four to six years. To reach an instructor’s proficiency and advanced degrees of Black Belt, about eight to twelve years are needed.

Learning Taekwondo and earning a black belt takes 2.5 to 3.5 years. The American Taekwondo Association (ATA) provides the fastest time with many students learning in just over 2 years. 

However, to become a full instructor in most systems, students traditionally need to spend at least eight years.
