Wikipedia:

Praxis is practice in the sense of simply doing something, either in the present or regularly. Praxis does not include rehearsal or training, for which the "real" action in question will happen in the future. For example, if musicians play a certain kind of music regularly, that is their praxis; if they rehearse for a performance or to improve their skill, that is the other sense of practice. Praxis can also mean application - the putting of theory into practice. The term may refer to:
