Assalamu alaikum, As we are getting more familiar with the Arabic, here is a useful article on the Arabic root word system. InshaAllah you will find it useful. Inshaallah next class onward we'll start distributing a page a class on the common words in the Quran booklet.
According to a longitudinal study (conducted from 1998 to 2014), the average time taken to get a first-degree black belt is ten years. Of course, this duration differs among martial arts. The shortest recorded training time is four years, while the longest to get a first-degree black belt is twenty-seven years. The study measured the time taken for these martial arts: Aikido, Iaido, Judo, Jujutsu, Karate, Kenpo, Kobudo, Taekwondo and Wing Chun.
If you're willing to dedicate yourself you will learn a lot right away, but to master it would take years. Any school claiming that you can be a black belt or a master within 2 years is either lying to you or a belt factory type school that will teach you little or nothing. It takes many years to master any art. There is an martial arts tale, the setting changes depending on who tells it but it's basically this: A wealthy young man arrived at the Shaolin monastery and asked the headmaster, How long would it take until I became a master?. The headmaster replied, Oh 3 years at least.
