How long does it take to get a white belt in karate?

Answer 1

In Kung-Fu, it's sashes as oppose to belts.

It can take 6 months to a year, depending how well you learn the patterns for a gold sash.

Traditionally, the Kung-Fu system does not have a ranking system. The current ranking system in most Martial Arts is more or less a commercial invention for the sports variant.

Answer 2

That will depend on the school and style of karate. In some styles it is the rank just before black belt, in which case it would be around 3 years. In others it is the rank of a 9th and 10th degree black belt, in which case it would take you 40+ years.

Answer 3

Time frames vary from school to school. About three years is pretty normal.

Answer 4

minimum of 3 months
