Something to consider...

Malcolm Gladwell posits in his book "Outliers" that it takes about ten thousand (10000) hours of practice for you to master something and become great. While Gladwell was speaking mainly about professions and sports, I think it's insightful to think of it in terms of martial arts practice

I think Gladwell likes round numbers, and the number is less than 10,000.

True. 10,000 sounds better, and probably sells more books.
