If we learn to move from the center habitually, we'll be practicing every waking moment. Divide an average of 16 hours a day into 10,000, and now we're talking! How about this?

The professional is putting in those kinds of hours. For myself, to think about training in those terms; I'd make myself crazy. When I was a young man studying aikido, living at home, and marginally employed, there was a period where I was attending about 12 classes a week plus extra seminars, etc. Now as an adult with responsibilities, I train as I can. Maybe an hour a day, more or less, most days. I have no illusions about being the next Chen FaKe, I'm simply looking to clear my mind, and keep my body healthy, while practicing correctly.
