Question 8

Can I wear runners, or do I need to train barefoot?

It's your choice! For practical self-defence, wearing runners can add realism, but you can also train barefoot or in martial arts shoes. Choose what feels most comfortable for you. Personally, I switch between martial arts shoes and barefoot depending on how I feel.

Question 9

How long does it take to earn a Black Belt?

Accepted Answer

As the saying goes, “How long is a piece of string?” The answer really depends on you! On average, if you train twice a week consistently, it may take around 6 years to earn your black belt. But what truly matters is the journey. Whether it takes you 5 years or 10, you’ll gain valuable skills, grow in confidence, and hopefully create lasting friendships and memories along the way. I know I certainly did.
