Hpkid0ist Posted July 30, 2002 Share Posted July 30, 2002 How do most of you train? As in, my teacher trys to stay as traditional as possible. In Korea he says they train 6 days a week up to 12 hours a day. They get 4 dan in like 4 years and move off to open their own dojangs. From what I've read most of the Asian schools still do or used to train this way. We are open 10-12 closed from 12-2 for lunch and reopen from 2-9 Mon thru Fri. Sat 10-12. We are aloud to come as much as we want as long as we desire. I assist in running the school most of the time so I have to be there a lot. 2nd Dan Hap Ki Do: What we do in life echos for an eternity!

spinninggumby Posted July 30, 2002 Share Posted July 30, 2002 Hmmm, I dunno if I trained for 12 hours a day, I wouldn't have any time to work to support myself or to receive higher education or pursue other interests Anyways I feel that 3 hours of intense (or perhaps not so intense if you are having an easy day) concentrated and goal-oriented training is plenty for each day. I have heard of 5-6 hours per day but definitely not 10-12. Even the Beijing Wushu team does about 6-7 hours (some which involves internal and meditation-oriented training, it's not all gung ho and full physical/kinetic energy) per day and they are notorious for their suicidal regimens. _________________ 'Conviction is a luxury for those on the sidelines' William Parcher, 'A BEAUTIFUL MIND' [ This Message was edited by: spinninggumby on 2002-07-30 19:46 ] 'Conviction is a luxury for those on the sidelines'William Parcher, 'A BEAUTIFUL MIND' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karateka_latino Posted July 31, 2002 Share Posted July 31, 2002 WOW!!! 12 hours of training A DAY!!!! I mean, i thought that training 7-8 hours was so grueling and only reserved to gifted persons. lol Just by training 8 hours a day for some important even like the Olympics you are saying "No" to have a private life, training 12 hours is like saying "No" to any kind of life you may Have lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SBN Doug Posted July 31, 2002 Share Posted July 31, 2002 I'm like Taezee. The kids have kind of gotten used to having food to eat, and my company is on this kick where they actually expect you to work for them to pay you. I work out on my own every weekday morning for 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Then I get to the dojang (an hour away) every Friday and train for 3-4 hours.

Hpkid0ist Posted July 31, 2002 Author Share Posted July 31, 2002 Hey 12 hours is what I'm told. After work they go to class. My teacher said that they get very little sleep. Of course not everyone will do it this way though, even the old school studios. 2nd Dan Hap Ki Do: What we do in life echos for an eternity!

LeaF Posted August 5, 2002 Share Posted August 5, 2002 well I train about 5 to 6 days a week, the number of hours is varyed but my week total is around 15 hours. The most I have ever trained in one day would be 18 hours, but thats only once a year.

karatekid1975 Posted August 5, 2002 Share Posted August 5, 2002 I used to train 4 to 5 days a week (one to two hours each). My old school didn't have a limit on how many times a week you could attend. In this school, I train three days a week (one hour each). They say that we are not allowed to go everyday, because of the limited space (our dojang can fit 30 people in rows of ten). Give me a break. My old dojang could fit 40 people, but not that many people showed up all at once. And they don't here either (except saturday open class).
