Now, many people ask how much i practice to learn my tricks and i say maybe 9 hours every day, but not at the same time. Thats when they notice i dont just enjoy yoyo, i obsess over it! And i was just wondering how much everyone else practices! ---

9 hours? Wow. If I have time to practice I usually get an hour or two total in a day. Sometimes more, sometimes less, but I would say an average of about two. ---

“I don’t practice much at all. I don’t think practice helps at yoyoing very much. Even you practice for it, it doesn’t help. It is important to go out there and try out something that you have never seen before and challenge your coordination. So much of it is about doing well under pressure and reacting to the situation of the moment. Certainly, there are tricks that you need to figure out the technique to do. I won’t tell anyone to NOT practice but I don’t believe in practicing too much for it. For me, work is the most important and staying in shape for work is my first priority.” ~ Adapted from Toshihiro Takeda. (No he doesn’t yoyo, i just changed the quote) Okay okay, I practice at school alot, but not much at home. Too many things to do at home. I practice during recess, lunch, and at church. Not much at home, unless i’m seriously bored. [Next page](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/how-often-and-for-how-long-do-you-practice/3988.md?page=2)
