When people start taking Martial Arts classes many will ask: "How long does it take to get a Black Belt?" At Guerrero's Shotokan it usually takes 3-5 years of serious training. The journey of becoming a Black Belt and embracing the character it takes to be a Black Belt in a Traditional school is part of a rich experience where you will learn a great deal about yourself. You are tougher than you realize.
I have had students ask me, "How do you get the Black Belt?" My answer is always the same, "Don't quit taking classes and you will get a Black Belt. It is simple. You can succeed at most things in life with one main concept: "Don't quit!"
