guarddog Posted November 14, 2002 Posted November 14, 2002 Hello fellow MA ppls. Just curious as to how much everyone does their specified MA here. My self I currently go on Tues and Thurs afternoons. (work every night) But starting in Dec. I will be able to go three afternoon classes a week when my sched opens up a bit. HEHE I am working on Friday nights thou as that class is mainly dedicated to sparring. (we do sparring like excersises in other classes) But a full class would be steller! Anyhow just curious to see how much people are addicted.. Mean enjoy their Arts!!!! J.
G95champ Posted November 14, 2002 Posted November 14, 2002 I think I train everyday reguardless if I put a gi on or not. Reading this board and interacting with other MA is some of the best training you can get. But to answer your question 2-4 classes a week for 2 hrs a session. (General George S. Patton Jr.) "It's the unconquerable soul of man, and not the nature of the weapon he uses, that ensures victory."
Kyle-san Posted November 14, 2002 Posted November 14, 2002 In class: 3 hour and a half to two hour sessions each week with some extra Sunday classes now and then that usually run three hours. Out of class: Constantly.
guarddog Posted November 15, 2002 Author Posted November 15, 2002 Do most clubs have classes longer then 1 hour? My club has all 1 hour classes, but tend to run 1h to 1.5h...? Just curious Do you all practice kata and blocks etc at home? .... I'm new but I find my self walking around going over blocks and when to strike from the block etc. HEHEHe from what we learned in class. J.
hobbitbob Posted November 25, 2002 Posted November 25, 2002 Pretty much 4 nights/week, monday-thursday. But..I'm often caught "daydreaming" about kata, technique, etc.. when no in class! Like Ray Dalke was quoted, I'm also horrible around mirrors, often practicing techniqes in any reflective surfaces, looking for ways to improve. let's not froget "knocking" my knucles against hard surfaces in eleveators, along walls, etc.... Good grief, I'm obsessed! There have always been Starkadders at Cold Comfort Farm!
BlueDragon1981 Posted November 26, 2002 Posted November 26, 2002 Currently I'm not going to class very often. The classes run 3 days a week at 1 1/2 to 2 hours. I try to make time to work on my martial arts outside of class. Lately haven't had much time. I usually post on the forums at work or school so I can't really practice at these times. So the forums is the way I stay sain at work and school.
Berutoron Posted November 27, 2002 Posted November 27, 2002 2-4 classes a week... Each one lasts 1h30, but sometimes we practise 2h30 ! At home I often practise katas...
Kenpo123 Posted November 27, 2002 Posted November 27, 2002 I usually train at least 4 days per week and often 5 then stay after class at least 1 day a week for at least an hour to work on Kata's. Then I attend Kickboxing class at least 2 nights/week, sessions are typically 2 - 2 1/2 hours each. At home I am constantly stretching and working on balance ( doing various kicks on 1 leg slowly and seeing how long I can do combination kicks on 1 leg with good balance etc.).

ramymensa Posted November 27, 2002 Posted November 27, 2002 Monday, tuesday, wednesday and thursday (this particular day I train in a self defence class before karate, so it makes 2 classes ). I spend a lot of time reading about karate, and of course browsing this forum. World Shotokan Karate
Red J Posted November 27, 2002 Posted November 27, 2002 I take classes 3 to 4 times a week for an hour. Sometimes I'll hang out a little to practice a certain technique or get in some more grappling. I had to lose my mind to come to my senses.
