just go when you feel like its hard to go. i am a 2nd dan shotokan club instructor, i teach once a week. thats it. thats all i have time for . i train on my own every week doing kata basics makiwara bagwork rowing etc , in no particular order, i try to keep myself ticking over, i have a family which is my main priority, yes i have the guilt when i don't train, yes it has caused agro with my wife, but i learn all the time. karate is the easy part of life. i love it and i have been known to love it to much, find a balance which will be sustainable in the long term. karate is for the long term, like everything that is worthwhile in this life.
