Welcome to Gaia! ::

Now one of the major things on my mind about my training, is how my schedule will be with all this crosstraining going on... I beleive this came up a long time ago too..

What kind of schedule do you have, how does it work, and what kind of toll does it take on you?

Do you train in an art for a certain period of time at a time? Or do a month of this and a month of that off and on? Or do you just pile all that stuff onto each month plus jobs, friends, R&R , other priorities, etc.

I dont cross train (yet) but here's my schedule

Mon: 9.30-5.30 work. Walk to trainin venue for six. Teach first hour class, train in second hour class.
Tue: 9.30-6 work. Night off! Tho I'm thinkin of startin kungfu class from 7.30-9.30...
Wed: Same as monday
Thurs: 9.30-5.00 work. Drive to training venue in different town for six. Teach first hour class, train in second hour class.
Friday: Same as tuesday
Sat: work 9-5.30. Night off... excersise my right arm lifting glasses of beer...
Sun: day off work, YAY! Drive to trainin venue in different town for six, teach first hour class, train in second hour class and train in third squad trainin class

is Chi Kung the art that's pronounced phonetically "she gong", i'm making it real easy to read. because if you do that i'd like to talk to you about some of the theories. i started learning a kata but i can't remember the whole thing, you might know it *fingers crossed*.

otherwise, my scedual:

mondays i don't get any dojo time in. 7-2 high school, 6-10 college. just enough time to eat, sleep, and play some games. in the class breaks i manage to run all of my kata.

tuesdays. school 7-2. help teach 5-7 kids class, basic review of all the simple katas. 7-8 i teach my own class, fun stuf. 8-9 adult class, i take part.

wed. (still can't spell it) school 7-2. help kids class 5-7. hour off. sometimes i go down the street to my community college to train with my old school tang soo do guys. 8-9 adult class.

thurs. see tues.

fridays, it's free right now, but we're starting up a book class again. since we do so many pressure points we have a book class going. it's incredibly complicated. if you're looking for stuf that's complicated in martial arts i don't think i've found anything deeper than pressure points under dillman. the class is just in general, they open the doors and come and go. last time i think it was around 7-8.

saterdays when i get up in time. 9:30-10, weapons training, 10-11, help with the kids class. 11-12 help with the adult class.

sunday free.

sometimes on mondays or wed. i'll go in for the day classes, 11-12, but i have to have my 4th hour fall in that time seeing as i don't have a 4th hour class.

Yes, yes you are.

You think? You do get an awful lot of eejits out but its usually worse on saturdays. My moto is work hard, train hard, play hard biggrin I quite like a few pints after trainin, you get really pished really quickly, nice an cheap

lol I never drink after training, I get a huge burning sensation in my throat and chest, and thats from NON alcoholic drinks, things like coke etc.

So I drink water throughout sparingly and then wait 45 mins or so afterwards, as for alcohol I rarely drink it, though I can do anything with Absinthe cool
