Green Belt
I am just curious how long it took people to get their black belt or belts. I know that the average time is a little different in each martial art system, so don't forget to tell the what style you blacked in.
Because there are two very broad paths in the martial arts...Seem like alot of folk have taken great leangth to getting there BB, so this makes me ask this question why is it we have so many under 25 fourth and fifth degree BB around these days?

The Road Not Taken
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood
and sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveller, long I stood
and looked down one as far as I could
to where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, as just as fair,
and having perhaps the better claim
because it was grassy and wanted wear;
though as for that, the passing there
had worn them really about the same,
And both that morning equally lay
in leaves no feet had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I --
I took the one less travelled by,
and that has made all the difference
