to become adequate at one type of martial arts you need at least 4-5 years of training, to become good at least 10 years. 
one year doesn't even cover the basics.
there is a good reason for the different colored belts in martial arts.. if you do not have the black belt then you are not good at that martial art... and it takes at least 5 years to get the black belt unless you are some sort of a prodigy....
if I sound like a prick it's not intentional... I have a black belt in karate and have my own karate club, I am training BJJ and MMA now, I'd trained Muay Thai and KickBox for about 20 years before I started karate and I do not consider myself very good... even though I won the nationals in kumite in 2009....
