XtremeTrainer Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 My goal is to train hard, be in prime shape, and be the best I can be and to take my prime to the grave whenever that might be. After all, Helio Gracie, up until he died in his mid 90s was training hard and in excellent shape. Definitely an inspiration for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bushido_man96 Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 I think lifelong training is a great goal to aspire towards. Its a great example to the younger students that come along. https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
singularity6 Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 I plan to train for the rest of my healthy life, as well. Too many locals are in really bad shape, and as it may sound judgmental on my part, it inspires me to try to stay in shape. 5th Geup Jidokwan Tae Kwon Do/Hap Ki Do(Never officially tested in aikido, iaido or kendo) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MatsuShinshii Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 Train as long and as hard as you can. As they say "you'll get all the rest you need when they put you in the ground". Until then... Train. The person who succeeds is not the one who holds back, fearing failure, nor the one who never fails-but the one who moves on in spite of failure. Charles R.

JazzKicker Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 Arguably, overtraining contributed to his death.It's great to be passionate about training and work hard. Just realize martial arts can put a lot of wear and tear on your body, and it has to last the rest of your life.In my 20's and 30's I overdid it with kicking, and was prone to back pain. Eventually I wised up. In my 40's, it was MMA, and we wailed on each other. One day I wondered, are we still going to be doing this on our 50's?Now I'm in my 50's, and dialed back the training before I got hurt. Some of my old (but younger than me!) buddies weren't so lucky. I know guys who've had to get knees surgery, had pins put in bones, etc. So train smart, don't beat yourself up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
