not just for someone who is referring to a sport, pasttime, or hobby that they do.

Although I don't really consider it to be just a hobby or pastime, I guess the fact that I don't even come close to making a living with my aikido practice would put me in that bracket. So, is there any suffix or word that would be used to denote someone who is a regular student or practictioner of something? If someone played baseball on an amateur neighborhood league, or someone who painted for fun and continued to take painting classes what would they be called?

I'm very confused
