Thanks alot for ur info, but how long will one attain a black belt for e 3 respectively assuming he/she goes for 2-3 lessons per wk?

I'm unsure as to whether the info above on the duration to attain a black belt for Judo is accurate. I do not know about how long it takes here in Singapore, but in other countries, it takes quite a bit longer than just 3 years. I would even stick my neck out to say that 6 years is just a generous estimate.Originally posted by anfuni:for Judo is 6 steps to black :

That being said, in Judo, the belt colour shold not be the one all end all, since I've ever witnessed competitions whereby black belts lost to browns, even blue. In Judo, I have ever heard that one can even be demoted to a lower rank if they do not win enuff randori.
So, if one is really interested in martila arts, the belt colour shold only serve as a sign that one should be more humble and train harder, rather than to relax and slack since one thinks he's already there.
my 2 cents -
The practice of demotion for Judo does not apply in Singapore. In fact, it is also very difficult to get demoted in Japan where Judo is founded. You do not get demoted simply by not winning enough compeitions or randori but committed serious disciplinary infringements. Even so this is quite unheard of but it do exists.Originally posted by lejabron:I'm unsure as to whether the info above on the duration to attain a black belt for Judo is accurate.

As for the number of years to get to shodan (black belt), 3 years is possble but provided you are very committed to the sport. If you are doing it leisurely, then it would take a good 6 years or more depending on your commitment.

I train Judo, and it really depends on your instructor, whether he feels you are ready or not, some of my seniors got their black belts after 5 years of training, that's the earliest, but some after 7 years still brown, because the black belt grading is tough.
I've trained for close to 3 years now, come january, and i'm currently at green, will be taking my blue in march, hopefully can get black in JC1, yay
, lol
My school trains 4 times a week, monday, wednesday, friday and saturday, but it doesn't matter about the number of trainings, but the effort you put in, if you put in more effort, put in your 120%, you get back your 120% and you advance faster than your peers.
Why so interested in the black belt though? I've seen browns that can thrash some blacks, it's the individual, not the belt, don't be intimidated by that

2-3 yrs for TKD if during colour belt u got double for ur grading will be faster lor
