Usually people spend half the next class time trying to remember the things they did last time. Taking the time to get it straight in your head outside of class, will greatly improve your ability to learn in class. To answer your question, people vary a lot. However there is nothing better than high attendence and enthusiasm to get you there quickly.

Bren Addict 123 posts	Wednesday 26th July 2006 at 15:51 From personal experience, when I took up MA, most of what I was learning was completely new to me and so (having no sense of rythmn or dexterity) I had to break the techniques down and think my way through each one. eg. right hand there, left hand there, right foot, left foot, turn to the right etc.....(sounds a bit like the Hokey-Cokey). After a while you'll find that you start to move, block, strike etc without thinking where to put your hands and feet. As the lads have said, it will all come with time and practice. Don't start putting yourself down if you don't pick everything up straight away. Enjoying what you're doing is the key to sucess. As long as I'm enjoying myself I don't really care if I'm that good at it straight away (ask my girlfriend). ;-)

An average class is probably between 1 and 2 hours long, and in that time you'll get shown lots of different things to keep you interested and not get bored of the same stuff. The problem with that is, if you wait till the next session, as Spider said, you'll have forgotten loads of it. The Admin Guy
