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

I had a friend at work who's brother was in Strikeforce. He was going to be on the The Ultimate Fighter cast, but he had got an injury. Just random contribution to your blog.

Training for MMA must be rough. I can't imagine training in hopes of getting my face bashed inside of a cage.

Quite the opposite, its training to keep your face from being bashed inside of a cage.
Limited Edition, lets do some simple addition, $50 for a T-Shirt is just some ignorant bitch shit.
