It's easy to lose perspective in mma in terms of your own growth when you're surrounded by fellow fighters it often feels like you're hitting a plateau because your team as a whole is constantly growing at a relatively similar pace, and you're so used to each others' styles that you adjust your own sometimes without even realizing it. It can be real depressing and mess with your motivation. I've felt like this many times in and the past and more so recently coming back from a 6month break and falling behind that learning curve was hard to take in.
Since coming back I've been having a real tough time and even getting the worse end of sessions with guys I used to be able to take down and submit at will. Feeling a bit conflicted, on one hand I'm proud of them for their improvements and I enjoy the challenge being there for me to overcome, but at the same time I can't get over this feeling of self disappointment that I shouldn't be having difficulties at this stage and should be breezing through people who aren't long term or up and coming pro fighters. I want to fight and test myself against the best in the world but right now it just seems so far away. I know I'm over thinking things but it's kind of my thing. Oh wells, end pointless irrelevant post.
TLDR:
STFU AND TRAIN

It's so tough, I'm dreading getting beaten by guys I used to tap before my knee surgery.
Can't be motivated to beat all the other guys at the gym, has to come from your love of the sport and desire to get good regardless of anyone else around you. |

I'm having a bit of an early mid life crisis, just turned 25 and I'm not exactly where I always pictured myself to be at 25 and it feels like a have a giant fucking clock following me around counting down to being too old makes me really want to rush thing more than I should. |

Some lame french canadian once said if you always winning against the people you play against, you are playing against the wrong people. So considering your getting owned... I'd say your in a good spot. |

Currently at the TQ in Redding, Ca gonna be taking trips to hit up the Portland and Temecula sites for 2-3weeks each in the next month or so.
Current schedule is Str/Con 8:30-9:30, BJJ 9:30-11:00(gi mwf, nogi tth), MMA team training 1:00-2:30(this moves around a lot lately it seems due to the holidays between 11 and 1), Str/Con 4:30-5:30, BJJ 5:30-7:00, Muay Thai 7:00-8:30 monday-friday, then open mat/team training 9:00 to 11:30 on sat. Generally just hang out and grapple/spar between classes. |
