How frequently do you train?

[Jonny Chee]

Hi yall. Just out of interest, how frequently (including going to class) do you train Martial Arts?

[Tosh]

Since I include stretching and doing my patterns training then about 4-5 times a week.

But I skip every night and do bodyweight exercises one on one off at the mo!


P.s. I mean skip as in skipping not as in cut class!

p.p.s. skipping rocks and doesn't knacker your knees!!!

[KickChick]

I average about 2-3 Tae Kwon do classes a week ... and 3 kickboxing classes a week, .... I try and run every other day along with weightlifting/ab work and stretch 5 days a week....

So on an average I am voting for 4 days a week.

[Fergie Boy]

about 25 classes a weak spread over 6 days

[morphus]

About three classes a week sometmes more sometimes less. My work keeps me pretty fit too.

[Brad Ellin]

I train everyday. Sometimes it class, sometimes it's on my own. I exercise every day, except Saturday, in some way shape or form. If I'm not practicing kihon happo, then I'm practicing hanbo or correct striking techniques. If I have a partner then I do randori or one-step or awareness. If I'm alone, I'll practice balance walking or silent walking. If I'm at the mall, I practice ukemi by intentionally going into crowds and try to avoid bumping into and being bumped into, or directing my intent on someone to see if I can get them to turn around. Training of some kind should occur everyday, every hour. Life is a dojo.

[JediMasterChris]

I train everyday...I do tai chi every morning when I wake up, go to a class 6 times a week and I spar with family members/friends frequently, and I work out 3 times a week. The rest of my time is spent on here or on sleeping or watching TV.

[Knight_Errant]

Depends. I lift three times a week, but I hit my bag shadow box, kata and so on 4-5 times a week

[WhiteWizard]

most classes are only for 45 minutes or an hour in there there are some 1 and a half hour ones but not many

[Fuzzy Panther]

My dojo only has classes 3 times a week. I usually make it to every class so that about adds up around 5 hours (I think). I exersise a lot at home too. :)

[El-Zerb]

Even though this is becoming a pissing contest:

I have class 4 times a week (Mon, Wed, Fri, Sat)
and cardio/weights (tues, thurs, sun)

I wish I had as much time to train as some of you. I guess the only solution is to become independantly wealthy and not have to work :)

[yangtaichi]

well at the moment im sick so im trying not to do strenuous things. usually i train in tai chi everyday no matter what and about once every other week i kendo(very loose definition of the word by the way)

[Freeform]

Every day, although thats going to have to change if I'm going to get my degree :(

[LilBunnyRabbit]

Two, two-hour classes a week and one three-hour class, plus a few minutes here and there where I can fit them in. Would like to do more, but unfortunately uni stuff keeps getting in the way.

[Brother John]

I'm in the habit of training one hour in the morning and one hour before bed... except on the days I teach. When I teach I train three times a day... morning, evening and 2 hours during the day.

Not a brag...
just see it as a minimum for what I NEED to reach my dreams.

Your Brother
John

[Reiki]

Every day unless something major stops me!

and twice on Tues & Thurs when I teach 2 classes. :love:

[neryo_tkd]

well... three times a week i'm at the club and teach different groups. the rest of the time i train myself with(out) a friend of mine (depending on what kind of training i have in mind), i go jogging, cycling. i also go to the fitness center to work out. sometimes i join an aerobics class or taebo class. i stretch at least 5 times a week.
