Hi there. Thought this might be of interest to other MAPers. What times does your Dojo have that allow you to train? This i'm hoping will end up like a short Karate check in kind of thing. Just list down the times that you usually train or the training times (some Dojos have 7 days of showup sort of training, i've heard) i'll start. Tuesday and Thursday nights 7:00pm-8:30 pm.
tuesdays 7-8:30 pm, fridays 8-9:30 pm when i feel like it i help out with the kids class and train some more on mondays, wednesdays and fridays, 5-6 pm
My home club is mondays 6-8. We're putting together a second session. If I get access to transport/lifts, I can train on tuesdays 6-7:30 and wednesdays 6:30-8:30
If we go with just the karate classes (not cardio): Tuesdays & Thursdays: 12-1 PM (I can't make these classes due to work.) Mondays: 6:15-7:15 PM Tuesdays: 6-8:45 PM (three different classes) Wednesdays: 6-7 PM, 7:45-8:45 PM Thursdays: 6-8 PM (two different classes) Saturdays: 11:30-2 PM (three different classes)
Going by just karate classes, it's difficult as my Kyokushin instructor works alternating weekly schedules. One week it will be Mon-Wed at 6pm, the next week Mon-Wed at 9:30am. Since it's a home club, it also changes depending on who's showing up when. Considering my schedule, I'm lucky to make it 2-3 times a month, hence why I cross-train in Muay Thai for the kumite aspects and work my kihon and kata at home.
Our training times are as follows with the ones in bold are the ones I go to (as an adult in the lower grades). Monday 5:30-6:30: Kids - White to Red 6:30-7:30: Kids - Green to Black 7:30-9:00: Adults - Blue to Black Tuesday 5:15-6:00: Kids - Pee Wees 6:00-7:00: Kids - Orange to Green 7:00-8:00: Adults - White to Blue 8:00-9:00: Womens Self Defense Wednesday 5:30-6:30: Kids - Red & Yellow Belts 6:30-7:30: Kids - Blue to Black 7:30-9:00: Adults - Blue to Black Thursday 5:30-6:30: Kids - White to Yellow 6:30-7:30: Kids - Orange to Green 7:30-9:00: Adults - White to Blue Saturday 9:30-10:30: Kids - All Grades 10:30-11:30: Adults - All Grades (often stretches past 12 noon in practice)
