I Feel Lile Im Not Improving!

[pineapple]

I think that everone goes through the ups and downs of training.

 

The thing to remember is that if you're on the down side, the up side is just around the corner if you hang in there.

 

I never worry about who is better than me as long as I'm better today than I was yesterday.

Just remember this sticking point in your training is building and building, it will soon break and you will evolve. Persistence and dedication through times like these are the true test of your training. Be the water that shapes the rock.

thanks for all your advice people. there is no chance of me quitting no matter how long this period goes on for, i believe starting kickboxing is the best thing that has ever happened to me and i enjoy it so much. as far as comparing my self to others i don't make it a habbit its just somthing i have noticed. yes its true the more you spar the better you get at fighting and thats why i have beeing going to the boxing gym and training with the other higher grades on sundays and even doing the boxing lessons before that (as much as i hate boxing)

 

Oh well i hope pineapple is right and that its just around the corner. anyways im off to the gym now.

 

Thanks again guys and girls

 

Peace

i work harder at martial arts than anyone i know and at times i wonder if it is worth it and every time i reflect i se that yes im twice the fighter and twice the person i used to be, everyone hits a wall now and then but after a while you get past it and get better.

It is important to improve, and you will. But the most important thing is to love training. Some times you get stuck because you're trying too hard. But that's a good thing. Because at some stage you will get tired of trying too hard and your mind will let go of that idea because it's just too hard to maintain it. Then you'll relax a bit and leap ahead.(until the next idea comes up and gets stuck for a while) That's what MA is about as well as fighting, it's about knowing yourself.

I have been training for eleven years. At year ten, I looked at where I was at year eight, and felt I had gone nowhere. I was panicing as my black belt test approached, feeling that I was in no way prepared enough.

 

In hindsight, I see that I did improve, greatly, in fact.

 

There is no way you cannot improve. Every time you hit the mat, you learn something new, and become just that much better.

 

Just wait it out; in the end, you will see your advances.

 

Peace;
