Why not, instead, train a martial art that will make you very proficient within a year? Why train one that promises proficiency in ten years and even that is in question - as they never really prove their proficiency in contest, or competition? Why train an art like that? It promises "spiritual growth" but if it is a martial art that doesn't even teach you to fight well until you have studied for a decade, perhaps it doesn't have much to offer in the area of spiritual growth, either?
Just some thoughts.
