The talented still have to train hard, they might actually have a harder time when they reach the point where it is no longer easy to progress.
Yes, that's true enough. What I dislike is the false truism that anyone can be a black belt. It takes rather more than just personal qualities like perseverance. Obviously you need physical ability too, otherwise you have "social" promotions, where students are promoted just because they stuck it out long enough.
