I am in a similar position.  I travel to my local moon twice a month for a class and rolling, and twice a month for a private; I am kind of on a lunar cycle.  I watch MTS, DVD's and Books that reference the material I have learned in class and privates.  I also study areas that I had problems with in rolling.  I make lots of notes and do lots of visualization.  It is slower than being close and training more regularly but I seem to be improving
