A regular class lasts between one hour and a half and two hours and a half. Some of the activities described have to be alternated from one class to the other; this schedule should not be repeated every day of the week. Kata, kumite and shiai should be practiced at each class but their relative emphasis should be varied. For example, if one attends three classes a week, his weekly schedule could be as follows:

Tuesday: — Morning: running and preparatory exercises — Regular class: emphasis on kata* normal practice of kumite* some shiai* practice Thursday: — Morning: running and complementary exercises — Regular class: emphasis on kumite normal practice of shiai some kata practice Saturday: — Morning: running and makiwara practice — Regular class: emphasis on shiai normal practice of kata some kumite practice

Objectives of a monthly schedule could be to learn a kata or a kumite, devoting a full week for each of the following: form, technique, speed, power, and finally, perfection of execution. For the basic techniques it could be to increase their practice progressively.
