Hmm. I think no.

1. {Hoch maH} is literally "every us", but there is only one "us".
2. canon shows {nIn Hoch} "all the full", so {maH Hoch} means sth like "all
the we" or "everything of us". That *could* work, but I doubt it because 
3. {Hoch} means "everybody" - and klingon is simple:

   {may' ngeb tIv Hoch}
   "Everyone enjoys a mock battle"

so

   {qeqnIS Hoch}
   "Everyone must practice"

I prefer a more general statement:

   {reH qeqnISlu'}
   "one always needs to pratice"

or, to make it a bit funny, adapt a know proverb:

   {reH qeqrup SuvwI''a'}
   "A warrior is always prepared to practice."
