Becoming a Black Belt – Karate Duluth Georgia

Choe’s HapKiDo Karate Duluth Georgia | When a new student comes to our Adult Martial Arts School in Duluth, they have the super tiger eyes of becoming a Black Belt. Maybe they were influenced by watching Martial Arts movies, or maybe they have always had an interest in martial arts. Whatever the reason, they are eventually brought to the same curiosity: How long does it take to become a Black Belt?


The answer: It depends! And it depends on you— your efforts, your discipline, and your dedication. 

We say this because one of the greatest aspects of Martial Arts is that you go at your own pace. It may be intimidating at first to see everyone at different belts and skill levels, but in class, you learn that it’s really all about how you yourself are growing. 


Obtaining your Black Belt is a glorious journey to embark upon. As soon as you start, you’re not sure of how to move your body to accomplish new moves, but you just jump right in. Before you know it, you test for your first belt (The White Belt!), and you become stronger and fitter as you overcome all the advanced and complex techniques. All this is possible because you’re unlocking your potential, and being inspired in how you can apply it to martial arts and personal life goals. 

As you progress from belt to belt, you get to decide how much time and effort you’re going to put into your training. How many times are you going to class? Are you going to practice at home? What are you going to do to improve your training? What’s also life changing when you advance in Martial Arts, you learn how to create and maintain a healthy balance between martial arts and every part of your life. Because part of Martial Arts training is evaluating ourselves and deciding what’s important—physically, mentally, and spiritually.

Part of the Black Belt journey is also becoming a part of our big, awesome Martial Arts family. The community consists of the Grandmaster, masters, instructors, martial artists of all ages, parents, teachers, siblings, and more.
