Having said this: "I mean we have 1 year black belt programs in Korea after all. "
I wanted to note before anyone jumps in with Chuck Norris or Joe Lewis earned their black belts in a short period - different situations altogether. I have no real issues with adult SOLDIERS taking an abbreviated path to a black belt if they have mastered the requirements while undoubtedly proving their fitness for the rank through sparring bouts with other good fighters.
