I try to train on my own a bit every day, but that doesn't always happen. I train with my Sifu once a week. That class is three to three and a half hours. Then I help with a beginning class and that is another hour to hour and a half. "Help" in this case is not just standing around, but being the crash test dummy and doing everything the beginning class does.
I understand bro, I know you're going to love it and want to train all the time once you start. I haven't met too many people who started and then quit because they didn't enjoy it. Just take it easy in the beginning, it's different than wrestling class dude!
LOL!!
I can't wait, I don't know why I was putting it off, I feel like a jack@$$! lol
Just to clear something up though in case theres confusion, when I say I did wrestling in school, I didn't mean class, I meant I was on the team. (I know its still going to be much different, after all, no one was trying to break my arm in wrestling! lol)

Ha - now that I am retired I train 6 days a week. That's only because I can't find a job. Or maybe I don't want a job so I can train 6 days a week. I don't know - I want to work again but it will interfere with my training. I'm confused. All I know is that I am having great fun working out 6 days a week & luvin it.

It takes some time to learn to relax and not become exhausted.
I've been getting pretty sore grappling 2x a week. I'm winding up with crazy bruises I don't remember getting, and a sore throat from fighting chokes.

Six days a week. My schedule changes all the time due to school, work, and occasionally trying new styles for a few weeks, but there is always something even if there is no class that day, maybe some strength work or stretching. Sunday is always entirely off, however.

So it isn't just me Sensei and Sifu do this to everyone, being a crash test dummy hurts, but I think I've been one for so long that now I enjoy it, :P the pain included. been hit in the head too much.

when I was originally training, we had 2-3 classes a week, and each class was 3-4 hrs long.
Which style do you teach. Or is it a mix?

Does Northeren Shaolin involve a lot of kicking because it's from the north?
I have read that Northeren Styles usually have more kicking than Southeren styles.
