That's really awesome. I was introduced to it by a friend whose family is from China. We were kids but he was weirdly strong even then - I think he was 1 dan on KGS in like 8th grade. Luckily we got others interested who weren't quite so dominant lol
If you got rigorous training from a young age (normally started at the age of 6 or 7, from the 1st grade), normally you can reach dan level in a couple of years, before 10.
Dang. I didn't realize progress was so quick. I guess it makes sense with how fast kids learn.
