As a Taekwondo master, most people who are planning to start martial arts especially Taekwondo have many questions to ask, which is the right thing to do, but I noticed there is a question that I get a lot. -How long does it take to be a black belt in Taekwondo or how many years I should train Taekwondo to earn my black belt?
