How many days a week are you actually training, and is it enough?
There is a big gap between the schedule people wish they had and the one they actually keep. Three solid sessions a week with real focus will beat five distracted ones, but most of us still feel guilty about the days we miss.
For me personally with 26+ years of training and teaching, even if I'm in class 4 days a week, I roll one time one class, none another class, 3 times another, and so on. It's more about listening to how I feel at 46 years old.
How many days a week are you training right now, and does it feel like enough or too much?

@Rehemansheriff007 Would be very hard for me to say if it's good for you or not.
It really depends on:
Your goals
Your age
Do you actively compete?
What your recovery schedule is like
And more!

I actually was training 5-6 days a week and that was at two different schools.
That eventually took a toll on my body and caught up with me.
Right now I actually train just 3 days a week. Tuesday, Thursday and Saturdays for open mat.
Difference is the pace and the type of training. For learning and getting the movements, drilling, that will be during the week and the rolls. Saturday is my nothing but rolling. The other days of the week I am weight training but full body workout imbedded. Cardio is always a 15-20 min followed by an hour of the weight training.
For competition, everything is the same just the intensity is different and only drilling for what my game is and defense escapes.
I was training 6 days a week and absolutely loving it. I fell into a coaching role which meant that I was instead teaching on everyone of those days bar one. I found myself having to craft lessons where I could get the reps and the mat time in but depending on the room and what they need at that moment it's not always possible. I had a flexible day job so would often get a couple of tough days time sessions in but I was made redundant from my day job and my new job has rendered that impossible. I spend 1 night away from our own gym a week by getting an assistant coach in to teach and I visit other gyms to get my training in. And then squeeze whatever I can out of my own coached sessions so essentially I'm still training 7 days a week but with no real control over the intensity or assurance of that for the majority of the time since the people I'm coaching and their needs will always come first.
one lesson a week and open mat and it's enough
i get a little more knowledgeable each month , each year etc and that's what it's all about for me
Between coaching and my own sessions it is 5+ days a week most weeks. Now that being said, I listen to my body and not my ego(anymore lol).. I don’t necessarily always roll or spar, if my body and/or mind are burnt out, I put more focus on the coaching aspect. I’m trying to get more rest and recovery now, and so far it’s helping to refresh and motivate my sessions some.
At 51, i definitely have to listen to my body. I teach/train 3 days a week and typically roll for at least an hour each day. Even if I feel I shouldn't go hard, I'll work on positional situations instead. If I get tapped, so be it. Better to tap than having broken bones and sprains.
Coach 4 days a week and roll 3 days. I spend one day with my training partner just drilling. This is my typical week, however it just depends on how my body feels.
