practicing your martial art(s) every day?
Itinerant practitioner
about 45 minutes to an hour a day alternating days between routines.
on wednesday nights 2 hours of practice with others
Kung Fu is good for you.
I train UFC.
3 days a week is usually 1.5 hours. Two days is about 3 to 3.5. Saturday is usually a toss up but often 1 to 1.5 hours.
I also work construction so in the summer when I'm roofing it's like I'm in one of those Chinese movies where they labour all day and then train at night. Everyone around me thinks I'm nuts. I probably am.

you compete with fair regularity don't you?
so, your time in is appropriate.
also, youth helps. lol
once you're up over 40, there aren't many guys who train with that kind of schedule.

morning sessions for qi gong and standing postures
evening sessions of bag/pad work

Every hour of every day I try, with some amount of success.
Being a martial artist is not just training, but putting your practice to work.
Of course, to some that might mean I fight all day.
They are mistaken.

That rearview mirror shot was pretty cool. Good clip.
"For someone who's a Shaolin monk, your kung fu's really lousy!"
"What, you're dead? You die easy!"
"Hold on now. I said I would forget your doings, but I didn't promise to spare your life. Take his head."

"When all this is over, Tan Hai Chi, I will kick your head off and put it on my brother's grave!

Quite correct.
Physically, I train no less then 45 min and no more than 90, everyday if I can, but more like 4-5 times a week.
And if I am not training MA I am discussing it, reading about it or watching Movies about it.

I'm presently at an hour to 75 minutes a day, 4-5 days a week.
I've found that being in the company of a very good teacher and very good students makes training more productive and efficient.
I train UFC.
I've trained for three fights since August only to have one: no opponent, two, opponent got hurt or something, and three, I busted my back. I've been trying though! It's also something I love to do and spend a lot of time thinking about.you compete with fair regularity don't you?
so, your time in is appropriate.

Re: youth. You're right. But at 27 I'm realizing some dietary things need to change to help recovery. Mainly laying off the Fort Garry Dark and fried food. Until now I've really eaten whatever I want but now I'm starting to change that.
I hope to god when I'm 40 I'm not on a roof all day!

developing your style of martial arts is like riding a bike - once developed, it's never lost... no matter if you bike 1000 miles or 10, all you need to understand is how to ride a bike.

I like to practice an hour to hour and half on the days i dont have class. Sometimes will break it up get some early morn then the balance after work. I have a log book that i use to keep track of what Im doing, Every personal session usually starts with light stretching ( nothing as extreme as class time) kata, both sides, sparring techniques, both sides. Then forms I know i need to work on but will alternate, empty hand techniques, then either makiwara board, heavy bag or reflex bag. Some days will use rowing machine since i dont run anymore. If you dont have a log you should keep one, I know when i slack off the results are ruinous.
