Yeah, guys, but get this. Recently we had a guest in our dojo, who had practised since he was a child in Japan - but hadn't picked up a shinai in the last ten years or so.

And he was awesome. Even after a ten year break. We thought about this, he and I, and think it's mostly because his basics were so strong, that his skill survived a ten-year hiatus.

Course, this was in the States, but even against other Japanese players, he was still very good.
