(My son wanted me to ask this one.) I average about two hours a day, especially now that it is summer time (benefits of being a school teacher!). I used to get more training time in, but you know how life happens.
My son also says I am supposed to ask if anyone is in the Puget Sound area looking to train in some pretty effective combative arts to get a hold of me (pun intended!). I train in American Wing-Chun Silat (it's what I have my black belt in), Tracy's Kenpo, and Arnis.

Hey folks, I am not sure there is a best answer to this question. I have been feeling the years lately and was wondering what others have been experiencing. I know that we get less time to do as we get older and stuff pops up in the way.
Any thoughts on this?
p.s. I don't know if I can close the question without choosing a best answer, but I'll check the rules and get back to everyone.

I teach two hours a day, two days a week and train about 10 hours a week. I would like it to be more.

Any serious martial artist should train for at least 1 hour a day. Not only in the dojo, but on your own as well. In traditional martial arts, most praticioners trained for around 5 hours a day - Morio Higaonna of Goju Ryu Karate still trains for 6 hours per day. Due to work, I can only do 2 hours per day, but I won't accept less than 1. Seems like I'm slacking off if I do. In the end, it depends on how serious you are about it. The harder you train, the more skilled you'll be. It's your choice.

I just started about 5 months ago in Muy Thai. I train about 2 hrs a day/3 days a week. I'm still in school, working, and married, so it's kind of hard to fit it all in. I might have to stop this coming fall, but hopefully I'll be able to get my first amatuer fight in in November. I train with Jurge Gurgel if you've heard of him.
