I'm lucky in the fact that my tuition allows me to go to any class but kendo(which is taught by a different sensei) I go to four classes a week. I'd recommend going at least twice a week, but I understand how the money situation goes. I was off MA for about a year after I graduated from college because I couldn't afford it. You might want to check with your sensei, a lot of them will allow you to work for your tuition if you can't afford class. _________________ There's no place like 127.0.0.1 |

Our adult class meets 3 times a week. Our tuition is the same regardless of how many times we attend. I go to every class with few exceptions. Most of the other adults are hit and miss in their attendance which actually works out very nice for me. There are a lot of times when it's just me and Sensei. I get one on one training that would probably cost me a whole lot more if I were in a different dojo. |

I train twice a week (currently looking to get to train three times). When I first started I was only able to train once a week because of club schedules clashing with other things I did.
The amount of training you can squeeze in depends on a lot of factors including club training schedules, money and other commitments that you have, but I think that if you make each training schedule you go to count, then it doesn't matter so much.
Remember you can train at home, go over stuff, read books on kata etc. even when you can't afford to go to class. _________________ Smile. It makes people wonder what you've been up to. |

I pay monthly and can go upto 5 times a week (because there are only 5 classes), I usually go to 4 because I have an academic class the other day. |

Our first 2 classes are mandatory, but then I go for an extra 3 classes (one being on a Sat in the eve) the other two being in a weekday... all in the eve starting from around 5 and ending round 8.30ish... _________________ To know the road ahead; ask those coming back... ~ Chinese Proverb
