Question: how long does it take to get a 2nd degree black belt in karate?
Answer: Well that typically comes around the 3+ degree stage. After you reach 1st degree, it will take about another 5-6 years to reach 3rd degree; 2 for 2nd degree, 3-4 for 3rd degree. This is all assuming that you pass every test the first time, a feat about 50% of people achieve.
