Thread: how often do you guys train?

About 1 hour during work on Mon & Wed, and anotehr hour or so immediately following work, but before class. Weekends are a mixed bag depending on what is going on with the family. Sometimes I can get 12+ hours in and other weekends I have to skip training completely.

I get in 1 1/2 hrs. 6x a week.

20% cardio (running,heavy bag work,focus mitts,skipping etc.)
80% sparring(40% Submission Wrestling,40% MuayThai Kickboxing).

Its hard work but its worth it.

You're either killing yourself, training ineffectively or lying through your teeth.

Welcome to the forum.

I train 3 times a week, between 1-1 1/2 hours each time. And I train hard. I supplement it with some cycling every now and then on my "rest" days.

Skip training is ok though. Its good for the coordination.

I think he is full of shit.If he is training 4-6 hours a day as he claims then he is doing more harm then good.

4-6 hours will wear anyone out,besides if he can last 4-6 hrs.then his training is useless,because anyone who does martial arts seriously will last only 1hr.to 1 1/2 hours.maybe 2 at most otherwise he/she is not training hard enough and properly.

You're full of shit.If you do you are crazy.Training is not about wearing yourself out until you drop dead.

Training 4-6 hrs. a day does more damage then good.

Ever hear how they say on tv commercials with exercise machines train "smarter not harder",well that concept is also true in martial arts.

It is good to train hard without a doubt but you have to know your limits too,be smart with your training or in the end you accomplish nothing.

Besides if you do train that often everyday,then I am assuming either you run your own martial arts school or don't work or go to school at all and also don't have a family of your own to take care of

That is a huge amount, but if the guy is pro it isn't impossible. The guys in Chute boxe academy in Brasil train 4-6 hours per day. Of course thay are totally professional. If that guy has a job he ain't training that much.

Oh yeah, I forgot. I train 1-1.5 hours 3-4 four times per week.
