Dear Dr. Roy Jenzen, as I'm planning to participate in one of your upcoming workshops of your school, I would like to know: For beginner students - what amount of time would you suggest to put into internal martial arts training a week?
Dear beginning student,
it depends on what your reasons are for doing this work -- if you want to simply improve your health, and maybe expand your life possibilities and potential, then an hour or so of (correct) practise every second day will usually be enough for you.
If, however, you want to go more deeply into the Daoist work and enter into the more demanding martial arts side of things as well, then it is generally best to have some kind of daily practise, so that the work you do today builds upon the work you did yesterday, and this 'informs' the work you will do tomorrow ...
