Hello everyone.

I will be in Shanghai for a year starting this September and I have found a school called Longwu Gongfu which offers Xingyi Quan classes. However, they are only offered once a week, one hour per lesson.

Without intending to sound ignorant, is one hour a week really "enough" to truly begin learning this art, or is it more than enough for a beginner like me?

When I was very little I took Shotokan classes for a while, and I remember the dojo had class five days a week, so perhaps that has coloured my expectations on how often one should train when learning a martial art. That's why I'd appreciate your advice, as I realize the situation with Xingyi Quan might be very different.

Thank you for any help!

Sebastian
