Speaking as a person who has some significant skill at a real-life martial art -- On any given day a new fighter can kill a master. It's a matter of luck and timing.
A person who has mastered one weapons form will be better at that weapons form than a person who has mastered several because he/she practices that one every day, while the generalist has only time to practice that one every few days.
So I am not impressed by your statement: "5) It will eliminate the OUTRAGEOUS phenomenon of all things being equal a master of all combats LOSING to a one master person...(And yes with the madness bug this happens A LOT)." That outrageous phenomenon mimics real life.
