I am 29 and a second Dan in Hapkido. We have about 7000 diferent techniques to learn before reaching the rank of master. If you train like I do , 6-11 hours a day 5-6 days a week, you can achieve master within 10 years. It is possible. In our system you get out of it what you put in. Now I know absolutly nothing about Ninjitsu so I can not comment or compare. But I have studied 8 systems in total in the past 23 years. No matter how in depth or dificult a system seemed to be, and we can be a little complex, a good MAist will prevail. No you cant just get by in our art. You have to be a good MAist period, but this is the same for many arts out there. As far as the comparison, I don't know. If everything were equall and the fighters were 100% even, then I would say the fighter who had the strongest will to servive, and if they both equalled there as well, then I would say the first shmuck to get a bit of bad luck.
