The ultimate guide: Present Perfect Tense 

Here, in this quote

“I fear not the man who has practiced 10,000 kicks, but I do fear the man who has practiced one kick 10,000 times."

Grammar point: 1) Present perfect tense:

Application:

       1.    Unspecified time in the past:

we use the present perfect tense to discuss ideas, events, activities started in the past and finished in the past as well as no importance is given to specific time means when the event started or ended is not important. Again, when it comes to sharing life experiences mentioning a specific time is not essential.

For example, I have traveled to The Netherlands.

Here, in the above example, a specific time is not important to mention as trawling to a foreign country would be a great experience. isn’t it? But if you want, we can use the same tense for repetitive events or activities by mentioning how many times. Let’s see an example below.

Example: I have traveled to the Netherlands two times.

       2.    Using ‘Since’ and ‘for’

Summary:

-It expresses unspecified time in the past.

-It can also use to share life experiences.
