soreknuckles Posted July 29, 2005 Author Posted July 29, 2005 Hi Guys,Thanks for your thoughts. I think you both have valid points, White Warlock has made the point the more you put in the more you get out basically. In an Ideal world I'd love to be able to train 3hrs a day 6 days a week with the likes of Roger Gracie. But in reallity I'm pushed to make it twice a week, due to Finances and old Injuries ( torn cartilige and bone growth ) which is making my knees feel very weak). I'm still awaiting my next op,when ever that happens, I should have mentioned earlier, and I apologise for. So I think I'll have to go with the twice a wk and hope my knees don't take too much stick.Many Thanks
dave3006 Posted July 29, 2005 Posted July 29, 2005 Just don't go apesh*t when you grapple. Relax. Lose your ego and use technique. Don't be too proud to tap. You will last much longer that way. Trying too hard will just get you hurt.
Adonis Posted July 29, 2005 Posted July 29, 2005 depends on how much you train on your own time. If its just one class a week and you don't do any thing on your off time that relates to that class the progress will be slow especially if something comes up and you miss that week. 2 or 3 times a week is more ideal because you can keep up with what the instructors teaching. especially if some one else signs up at the same time you do but they are doing 2 or 3 times a week your doing once. It can be frusterating because alot of people measure there progress by what others are doing at the same level. Any way just enjoy your training if you can some excericse outside of bjj will help your training especially cardio work and stretching.
it_takes_skillz Posted September 10, 2005 Posted September 10, 2005 one class a week? expect earning your black belt in 9 years, lol. but seriously whatever your comfortable with and what ever floats your boat Martial Arts Is A State Of Mind, Not A State Of Brutality
Adonis Posted September 10, 2005 Posted September 10, 2005 9 years for 1 class a week. Try OVER 10 YEARS! lol
it_takes_skillz Posted September 10, 2005 Posted September 10, 2005 lol yup Martial Arts Is A State Of Mind, Not A State Of Brutality
Zaine Posted September 10, 2005 Posted September 10, 2005 Yeah it depends on the person Martial arts training is 30% classroom training, 70% solo training.https://www.instagram.com/nordic_karate/
Jay Posted September 11, 2005 Posted September 11, 2005 i do 1 class a week and i recomend doing more or the same as everyone else does that way you dont get behind or you could practice more a home to make up for it like i do but i still seem to get behind The key to everything is continuity achieved by discipline.
White Warlock Posted September 13, 2005 Posted September 13, 2005 you get behind, not because it is only one day a week (or two, or even three days a week), but because you come back to class and start 'all over again.'
