improving much faster than when I practiced several hours a day.
Personally, I'd rather go catch a movie, come home and spend an hour or two drinking some beer with my buddies, watch some TV, then take 5 minutes to whip the snot out of the guy who's spent the whole day training, but that's just me.
....it's a simple matter of the fact that it does not take 8 hours a day of training (or anything close to that) to learn to fight effectively. It's when folks start bragging about it as if somehow it makes them better fighters than those who do not train that long at a stretch that I have to giggle. In fact, I often like to turn it around on them and state that if it takes you 8 hours per training session to be able to fight, either you're a slack-ass who doesn't know how to train hard, or your teacher sucks, or your material sucks, or some combination of all of the above.
