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. |
Well I'm not saying that you can't learn to fight well quickly with them, but the way most of them are taught (and the ones that I've had experience with) do it in such a way that you will not be able to do anything with it for at least a few months. I took up boxing, and was basically ready for usage after two weeks.
