Training Times

[Kumori]

On average how long do you all train/practice at your house on your own time ?

I have just gotten into MA recently and I still havent adopted a good training routine or anything and im looking for averages and ideas.

6 hours a week at the dojo, everyday traning at home, all the time thinking about Martial Arts

Just play arround a bit, and find a training schedule that doesn't interfere with the rest of your life, but that also allows your skill to grow to the level and at the rate you want.

I try to incorporate training into my everyday routine instead of allocating a specific amount of time. For example when I sit down to read or watch TV, instead of sitting on the sofa I'll get into a stretching position on the floor. In the case of a commercial break, I'm apt to knock off some push-ups or sit-ups. Unless you've got a lot of free space, save the kicking and punching for the dojo.

I do TKD mon, thurs, and sat. I do Jujitsu on friday or saturday. Training at home depends on my work schedule and dojang activities (outside of training). I try to train when I get free time. Usually saturday nights (if I don't have Jujitsu) and one other day a week for about an hour.

I have two jobs unfortunately. I work Mon - Fri full time, i also work Fri & Sat nights, i go to Karate Tuesday nights, and also go to college on Thursday nights, and i also have two young children of 18 months and 5. So, the only nights i get to myself are Sunday and Wednesday, of which i spend with my family, so i find the only time i can train is early in the morning, i normally start at 6 and finish at 7, then its a mad rush to get the kids up, washed, and dressed, before taking them to the child minder and getting to work myself, as my Wife starts work at 6 so its all up to me in the morning - and its a mad rush

I was stretching/kicking/practicing almost everyday. Still stretching, just not practicing. Looking for a different art to study

I work from 7-4 Monday through Friday. When I get home I generally do some kind of a weight workout or aerobic workout. I usually get to the dojangh about 6:30-7:00, and am there usually at least 2 hours. So, 10+ hrs a week at the dojangh, and 5+ hours at home.

Not an hour goes by that I don't think about something pertaining to my training....be it a technique I am working on or a form (kata), etc. I am constantly visualizing technique and situations and even fall asleep while thinking about it! As for physical training, I am still on the mend and work out lightly about 30 minutes daily...and run 3 days a week.
