have practiced / have been practiced

1. I have been practicing karate for two hours.
2. I have practiced karate for two hours.

Which is correct when you want to say you started karate practice two hours ago and kept on doing it up until just now?

The first.

In British English, we'd write I have been practising karate for two hours.

@optimistic pessimist Why did you omit "two" from sentence #2? Also, your title should have been "have practiced/have been practicing".

Sorry, it's just a typo. I corrected it.
