How many times a week do you fence?

[LordTofuDog-jnr]

How many times a week do you fence? I just want to see if I'm missing out with three times a week.

[leia]

three times, and wish i could fence more, though im planning to start doing some training at home in days i dont have fencing.

It's extremely variable, depending on work---I have to pull odd shifts. I average 1 or 2 nights a week. Sometimes I manage 3; on the occasional week, none ( and then I am a very unhappy fellow ). I would do it every night if I could, or at least until I collapsed from exhaustion.

[Zara_athlen]

I usually get about two to three times a week, with friday being my really good day where I can get in a good 2-3 hours of fencing.

[Epee Scherma]

5 x a week!
Sunday: Epee Lesson (1 hr)
Monday: Drill-Assistant to team (2.5 hrs)
Club (2.5 hrs)
Tuesday: Epee lesson, footwork and drilling (1.5 hrs)
Wednesday: Drill-Assistant to team (2.5 hrs)
Thursday: Club (3 hrs)

13 hours really still isn't enough. I've learned that there is never enough time for fencing.

[D+F+P=Hadouken!]

Twice a week of real fencing, one a week of coaching. I wish I could fence more, but I cant do to lack of clubs in the area.

[Sword-Chucks]

Yeah, I only fence once a week usually.

[Zilverzmurfen]

I fence at least twice a week.
I add a couple of hours per week, depending on work situations etc.

[glowstix]

twice a week at two different locations. sometimes i go up to three whenever possible but i can imagine that will go down to once a week of good fencing soon.. then eventually to none...

[Markstorm]

Three, should be 5 soon.

[geezer]

Quality-wise, three a month.

[sabreman]

I am down to two if I am lucky. In high school and college I did it 5 days a week. After college I averaged about 4 nights a week. That stopped around 1997.

[mrbiggs]

Two or three. I do two clubs, but my job interferes so much that often I can't make it more than two or one.

[mackillian]

Three times a week

[Victor]

Bout 'play time' once a week, focused practice during bouts once a week (testing applications of lessons learned), competitive bouts once a week, and then any other fencing opportunities I can fit in otherwise.

((Of course this doesn't count time by myself for footwork and blade drills, nor coached lessons, nor any coaching assistance I provide at the club.))

[fixxmyweapon]

4 days a week, 12 hours on a normal schedule.

[Kismet]

I only fence once a week, sometimes twice. Not that much at all. I wish I had time to fence at least 2-3 times a week, but, the duty of being a university student calls, unfortunately.

I hear you, Kismet. I fence twice a week (one class/practice type evening and one lesson/practice bouting type evening). I'd also like to put in more time, but the duty of being a University employee calls. . . the people who pay my salary kind of expect me to come in to the office and perform work in exchange.

[Epictetus]

Five days a week, Monday through Friday. Soon to be more, once our team starts going to competitions (a week from Saturday).

I have to admit though, I been fencing 5 days a week every week since school started, and I'm starting to get a bit worn down.

Who am I kidding, this is the most fun I've had in years.
Only 5 hours until practice....

[gamerdork]

On a good week 5 times: 1 lesson, 2 bouting, 2+ at home practice i.e. foot work. On a bad week, 1 time. The average is usually about three times. Keep in mind that I'm doing temping work so right now I have a lot of time to do the at home practice since I am between jobs. Actually with the free time I feel that I should be doing more practice at home, but that's just me.
