Hello there,Two things that would be interesting to know:
- most brown and black belts are also assistant instructors or school owners. Is all mat time counted as training time, such that the 11.2 hours is in addition to teaching duties? Because if it included teaching time it's easier to believe.
-average is often not the best measure of central tendency, because it's subject to movement by big outliers. I'd be curious what the median training time is at all belt levels.
Yikes, the AVERAGE blackbelt trains 11.2 hours per week??? I hope I can reach blackbelt someday training less than that!
Interesting that the more experience you have, the more you seem to train.
That's not very much time. If you trained four days a week from 6-9pm you'd have that and nearly an hour more.
No, though it sounds like it lol. I'm in law enforcement and currently teach defensive tactics full time. This allows me to train on and off duty. I've got some tough guys to train with at work; DIII All-American (who outweighs me by 50 lbs.), a BJJ brown belt, a couple of blues (one who should be a purple), and some tough white belts who grew up wrestling. So I usually train at work 3x a week on top of my off-duty training.
