I go to formal classes 2 days a week for about an hour and I also teach at the dojo 3 days a week for anywhere between 2 and half to 3 hours a day on that alone. For unformal alone training, I don't have a set time period. Just whenever I have the time...20 mins here, 15 there. Just working basic stuff. I also add in a quota for the month too. So I will say this month I want 1,000 good sickkicks off each leg. I keep track of my progress and how many I do and I notice I usually get really good results from doing that. I do that to keep up my basic kicks and do that for more advanced techniques I'm having a hard time with.

I usually train formally 4 or 5 times a week. Aikido 2 nights, Tae Kwon Do 1 lesson, Kick Boxing 1 or 2 lessons depending on how much time I have.

I also do stretches and some practicing at home.

I also do the studying part at home as well, with books and DVDs, etc. to help make sure that I have the correct forms.

However, with the formal Aikido lessons, these last 2 hours but we have a coffee break in the middle. I guess I am lucky with this class at the moment, because we all seem to get along very well and it's more like a socializing event a lot of the time, even when I get thrown to the floor!

I am lower in the ranks though so maybe it's not quite as gruelling for me as it is for other people.

In the beginning dojo it was 3 days a week for 2 hours (way back in the day) plus at home another 3 days a week for for another 2 hours or so. I was told that I needed to rest my body so I did not practice every single day.

Today, the old man practices for shorter periods of time
