About 10 years over 12 years (took a couple of year-long breaks).  Got my basic black belt back in 2005, but since messing up both shoulders (rotator cuffs) in 2011 doing big diving roll breakfalls when too heavy and not nearly flexible enough, I'm now calling myself fully retired.  Got my dominant side rehabbed OK, but the off side is still giving me grief--if I can ever get myself fit enough again, it's definitely time to move to tai chi or aikido.

Ai, I see. Hope you recover though, but black belt - wow, that is great!
