For one to get fluid in a style depends on the style, but I would say two years training with him is enough to get the basics of any style, even the hardest ones. To learn all the techniques of a style would take at least 10 years, which is why he prefers teaching groups, rather than one, and why he usually only teaches the basics and a few more. If you were to train with him everyday from waking up to sleeping, you could cut the time in half to learn.

If someone wanted to learn the secret, he would probably teach them the basics of a style. He would have a hard time explaining his style for the same reason he teaches the secret of the style through sparring. His tribe had different words for Aura and Semblance, ones which don't have a translation that he knows of. Essentially, he doesn't know about Aura and Semblance, beyond what was taught in his tribe, with different names. So he can't explain it, he can only show it through fighting, unless he met someone who speaks the language of his tribe.
