It should be noted that in the context of martial arts, especially Chinese ones, that the number 10,000 has special significance because it's a sort of colloquialism for "many" or "infinite". For instance the phrase commonly attributed to Bruce Lee: "Fear not the man who has practiced 10,000 kicks once. Fear him who has practiced one kick 10,000 times." In this case you could substitute any large number and the phrase retains its meaning. Similarly, "The Classics" (an important illustrated text in Tai Chi, also studied in several other Chinese martial arts) and Taoist texts will occasionally mention "the ten thousand things", which should actually be read as "everything in the universe". So in other words, when a translated Chinese text talks about practising something 10,000 times, it should generally not be interpreted literally as the number 10,000, but rather as "as much as is possible within a lifetime".
