Freakin unbelievable this guy!
MMA Master's of None........... with exception of a few!
Do you even know who ^ they^ are............you are ignorant of Martial Arts!
You should be ashamed of yourself............. go do history study you poor lost soul!
End of discussion!
Respecting martial art teachers is important, but putting them on a pedestal to be worshiped is one of the most foolish things a practitioner can do.
1:
10,000 days = 27 years.
It's ludicrous to say that a practitioner needs 27 years to become an expert. Everyone has different learning curves. Some learns quicker than others. Jon Jones became the best at the age of around 23 and destroyed life long martial artists, such as Machida.
Also, it's not smart to devote 27 years to just one martial art such as Karate, which is very limited.

Aikido is majorly flawed, both in principle and practice. In short, they train techniques without sparring against opponents who would fight back, so they have no way of knowing whether their techniques would actually work.
Aikido is basically Judo without sparring to see what works and what doesn't.
Moral of the story: Don't idolize martial art masters. They're humans just like everyone else. Learn from them, see what works and what doesn't.
3.
Same story with Aikido, more or less. Learn from the master, take what works, and discard what doesn't. Respect but don't idolize the masters.
Bruce Lee saw how flawed Wing Chun was in a real fight, so he started to incorporate all other fighting styles into his arsenal.
