Taking it light eh? Keep in mind of the numbers. This is everyday for me starting at 5 AM where morning winters are -15 and the snow can be over your head. Believe me that throws any kind of western machismo out the window

. You're humbled from the start with shoveling your way to the dojo. Oh and yes it's hot and humid here right now. Yesterday's afternoon practice was 40 degrees in the dojo. Unfortunately it was cooler outside.

I can see why you would want to get in that much if you were only practicing two times a week and then some. But what it comes down to is the question of quality vs. quantity.

One of the best Tokyo high schools practice three days a week with intense speed and concentration for one hour. By the end of their session they're wiped out, but within this short time they are managing to take titles.

Remember this is a question of quality vs. quantity and not the enjoyment of watching eyes popping out.
