How much do you actually train?

My former MA training has been only 2-4 hours a week, and at the same time ripping me for money, and not teaching me sh!t.

Hmmmm i always thought you sounded like a mug…wanna lend me 10 quid?

(if u dont know what a quid is ask on one of the english slang threads)

Oh let it Go why don’t you.

Normal Training Schedule:

M-F
Heavy bag and Shadow boxing with drills from forms: 1 hour
Pre class workout: 1 Hour of forms and drills
Class and Sparring: 2 hours
Forms weapons and Body conditioning 1 hour
At home before bed 30 minutes of stance training excercises

Sat 2 hours class, if at my school, some less if practicing with friends. 1 hour Forms and Drills

Sun 1 hour or so of whatever I feel like to start off the day, and some standing before bed so about 1:15 or so.

So added up, ~ 33-36 hours a week. Do I have a girlfriend, life on the weekdays, or go to bed before midnight ever? Nope. There are trade-offs. However, I have been doing this for 3 years, I dont break my schedule, although sometimes I should, and I deal with overtraining injuries when I get stupid. But I know someday I wont have the time to do it, so I am doing it while I can. Even with this much training it took about 2 years before I could really start to apply more than even the most basic of Hung Gar stuff to free fighting, other than hitting like a mule, which comes pretty fast for most.

Liokault: u have already showed to me that u’re an ass, it is not necessary to proove it anymore.

I train about 2hrs every night
Mon,Thur,Sat-Shuai Chiao work out and heavy bag work(plus SC class on mon & thur)
Tue,Wen,Fri-Weight Training, Iron Body
Sunday-nurse hangover:D
=roughly 16hrs a week

Water Dragon,
I hear ya bro…when I think about it, I don’t train as much as I originally thought, and that’s considering the time I spend walking around trying to catch my breath after doing a form or shadow boxing. It’s like watching reruns of old game shows with the commercials cut out or a show that you taped off TV and didn’t record the commercials…makes me say: D@mn I never realized I was only watching 14 minutes worth of American Gladiators during a one hour span while growing up…

Yeah… Thats right :slight_smile:
All in all…
2 hours class monday, 2 hours training
1 hour of class tuesday, 2 hours training
3 hours class wednesday, 2 hours training
2 hours of class thursday, 2 hours training
friday - weights, kung fu oriented training with weighted things ( 2 hours)
saturday- occasional light workouts for 1-2 hours
sunday- rest

so… 15-22 hours a week or so. :slight_smile:

90 min per day, 7 days a week.
10.5 hours per week.
Put in the weekly perspective, it doesn’t seem that much :\

Some yimes I do nei gung for over half an hour, did over an hour last week in one session…Some times I do nei gung with my teacher.

Hell last week 2 young chinese kids (8 and 10 I think) showed me how they do nei gung!

Hi.

I practice my art weekdays for 1~2 hours work and family permitting.
Saturday 1.5hrs in the Park and 2hrs at the Kwoon.
Sunday another 1.5~2hrs in the Park.

This does NOT include stretching and other exercises I do sometimes.

I fully agree that most self-estimates about training times are way off and we do less than we think.

Cheers.

Mr. Circuit Pansy (who cant strike bare-knucle), i made a poll like this topic on some other forum
stop copying me

Weekly
3 hours of TKD over two days of which one hour is sparring.
2 hours of self defense.
3 hours of karate.

I’ve cut back on sparring since I was accumulating too many injuries. The joys of being aggressive and stupid.:rolleyes:
