Greetings all. Please forgive my lack of paragraph split - I believe my laptop to be at death's door. Anyhoodles ... a parent asked me the above question recently and I thought it could seed some interesting conversation. So ... how much practice do you think is enough for children in beginning ranks? intermediate ranks? advanced color ranks? How about adults in those situations? Please express your answer however you feel understandable for the group; e.g. 'a beginning student should practice each day 25% of total class time spent during the week' or 'class time should compromise approx. 30% of total workout time generally speaking,' etcetera. Thanks!
