I train every day - and teach 3x a week - Years ago I asked my Kung Fu Teacher how much he trained - his reply was " I'm always training - when I'm walking - driving - talking to you now........ " . It took a while to understand - many of my lessons were learned after an early practice with my teacher having Yum Cha - ( Chinese Breakfast ) or @ lunch - Dinner or just hanging out with him.

I've slowly crept up to 4-5 times a week, split between two different dojos. Once I grade for 3rd kyu (hopefully April) I will be able to attend a kumite class on another day and bump that to 5-6. And if either of the dojos had adult classes on Friday I would be there then too! I also run and do weights at the Y.

Train 4 to 5 times per week, attend class 3 times per week. Many times instead of watching TV I'll work on Kata, or focus on a particular technique.

May I say that this site is a really good idea.

Hope to be visiting it more often.

Don't mean to bump this topic up, but I would like to ask what motivates people to train everyday? I mean on a more personal level, I do want to train in my spare time and would appreciate some opinions.

Basically what I'm asking is what everyone's driving force that makes them do this?

I must admit I don't train every day. I visit the Dojo once a week and do at least 2 or 3 sessions a week by myself or with my training partner. I admire people that train every day, but I question the quality of that training - surely your body needs time to recover. I think quality is much more important than quantity.

I may not train each and every day because of my teaching duties and the like, however, I do believe that while I'm teaching, I'm also training to some degree. My betterment isn't ignored.

Teachers have AHA moments even while they're teaching.

Sometimes its a bad day at the gym that motivates me more, or something that happened at work that I want to be better prepared to deal with that I want to improve on. It just depends. Some days are easier to get out and train than others.

I'm only getting in 2 hours in the Dojo per week. You guys are hardcore!

I'm either attending the basics classes or a fight class on friday evenings.
