The problem about non-dojo training is that not very many folks know much to do solo. I used to do some solo exercises such as I learned from Aikido teachers and would do weapons work in my back yard, but I have to say that it wasn't until I did some of the IP work that I recognized how solo training was not just something you'd do when you couldn't get to the dojo but Important in itself.

I agree absolutely.
If someone really has no clue what to do on their own then I'd recommend that they do their hard physical work outs at home and then concentrate on moving softly and slowly in the dojo. At least then they can optimize each part of their trainings.
