Generally for a couple hours a day, usually from 3 to 6 days a week, depending on how life is treating me. Most often, closer to 6.

I train with my students 3 times a week and I train at home the other 4

At home it may be mental training as well a physical you know those times when you visualize something over and over till you have worked out all the possibilities and worked a technique until your mind understands the movement better

I train in one thing or another every week night. I want to add Saturday, but I'm still working on that.

BTW. Love the avatar.

I train Monday night, Thursday night, and Saturday morning in the dojang for TKD. We have hour classes, but I usually stick around for another hour to practice on my own.

Friday or saturday night for jujitsu (for two hours, at least).

At home, I do what I can. My schedule is a little "screwy" sometimes. But I try to, at least, beat on B.O.B for a while or do my forms. But lately, I have been busting my **** for my test this saturday. I try to train everyday.

It varies for me. Anywhere from 3 to 5 days a week. 5 is my favorite, but it's not easy being a parent and martial artist. So three is more realistic. Usually two days and at least one night. When I was preparing for my black belt it was a lot more!! Good luck in your journey and let us know how your progress goes in getting ready for your test! :asian:

I train four times a week. Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays at the regular classes in the dojo, for about 2-3 hours at a time, and then by myself on Sunday in the dojo, when nobody else is around. I use Sunday's to train in the styles I previously trained in, so that I don't lose the knowledge.

I used to train six times a week, but that got cut back once I started teaching all of the classes on Mondays and Wednesdays.

I have a class 6 days a week, I typically get up in the AM and put in anywhere between 45 minutes and 2 hours, depending on how motivated I am. I try to do 3 hours a day but really most of the time it's more like 2.

Right now, one class each day (about 45 min.), 5-6 days/week, at the school, plus what I do on my own.

Depends what's going on at the time, but I usually get at least three workouts in a week, plus since I moved my WaveMaster by my bed a whole bunch of mini-workouts that add up over time to increased proficiency.

Months ago I got severely scolded on MT for not taking a day off..

Depending on what my work schedule is like, will determine how many times I get to a class. On a regular basis, 4 classes. On a not so regular basis, its more like 1-3. This of course is not counting time spent at home.
