what do you do when you feel the burn going away?

I treat my martial arts training like going to school when I was a kid. Sometimes I liked it, sometimes it bored me but I HAD to go and I was resigned to that fact.

I am in that mindset when it comes to my Kung Fu training. Of course just like school, if you stick to your MA training/studies the benefits are immense and this fact is my major motivation.

wow, thanks for all the posts guys. especially AnonymousOne. i do like my martial arts, but for this month, i might just take a short break, think a little. im also going to college in a little over a year, so im eventually going to have to stop, and find a new one there, or if im fortunate enough to find the same one there. thanks a lot though.

if you feel that your martial arts training is becoming tedious, learn some gymnastics. with gymnastic training under your belt (pun not intended) you can learn acrobatic martial arts and join a demo team or something. nunchaku was becoming more and more boring until i tried to spice it up a bit. i learned to juggle and now im better than ever, and its not boring in the least any more. martial arts training is not confined to the dojo. besides the XMA is bound to be more fun, challenging, and lucrative than non acrobatic MA.
