Answer 1

You are in trouble unless it's a McDojo. And what rank is purple belt, never seen one before. It is not one of the original colors.

Answer 2

like they said it depends on the karate ive seen kids get new belts every 4-6 wks and never learn a kata maybe a couple moves seems it depends on if your schools a joke or not

Answer 3

You need to set realistic goals. And I'll tell you what my first sensei said..the color belt doesn't matter (none of them), because you will spend more time in your black belt than all those combined. It's not about the belt..and you need to progress with your technique, body mechanics, stance, eventually using your lower body more and 2 handed karate. If you want to be an excellent martial artist, then allow yourself the progression and don't worry about how fast you go. If you don't want to be an excellent ma, then I wouldn't really bother ..it's way too hard if you aren't dedicated to it body & soul.

To thine own self be true...don't worry about your friends. Good luck.

Answer 4

You could do, depending on your karate association. My association has gradings for belts every 6 months, so if you're in the NKA you won't make it. Actually now, to be really honest I don't think you could do it no matter what. I'm purple/white belt and it took me 2 years. Oh yeah and they have four extra courses a year in which you can grade incase you were wondering about my maths. Thats just mine. Yours could have that sort of thing as well.

Answer 5

If its a professional gym then no you wont and so shouldnt  things take time

But if tou however manage to get a purple belt rank

then my advice is leave the gym because there basicly  a **** gym

let me know how it goes  

Answer 6

Belt test comes every couple of months and it doesn't matter how good you are to acquire the belt. Being incredibly well doesn't increase the speed of getting one either.

Anyways, I don't think you can get a purple belt by the end of 2008. Unless you got to some fake gym that gives you blt right away.

Answer 7

Reaper your generalizing many styles of karate, which is not very intelligent.

No sir i don't think you'll be able to achieve a purple belt(?) by the end of 2008.

In response to your comment though reaper. So styles of karate allow for a member to take a test earlier if their skills are at an elevated, and not ever style of karate has regular belt tests.

In Soo Bahk Do you have your first test for your orange belt two months after you join, but then it's 6 months till your next belt test.  

Answer 8

unless you pay off the sensie then probably not
