Myth.
Gimme 3 days and I can make you a decent enough street fighter.
The reason that myth exists is because so many systems claim "you have to train with Master Yoda for 300 years to get good" - - - great way to guarantee continued tuition
Another myth is that black belts are great fighters. I've seen many systems where their blackbelts would get their asses kicked by a gold belt from a good dojo.
