SHUT THE FUK UP AND TRAIN!!!!
does that help???? as always,TWS
It makes me mad when people say I turned and ran like a scared rabbit. Maybe it was like an angry rabbit, who was going to fight in another fight, away from the first fight.
Naw, that's just dumb.

Yeah, training is hella boring. I have no idea how to motivate people to train.Originally Posted by Water Dragon
Personally, though, I find the greatest loss of motivation is from lame teachers and schools.
Maybe you can find a good teacher or school.
That's the idea. I'm gonna start working the pads again with some kid down here, and start training Judo again. I just need to get out of this slump I've been in. I'm being lazy right now.

go throw that kid around. NOW

You know you want to click me!!
remember how you felt after a good solid work out? or when you actually understood in depth something that you had previously had problems with?
its a great feeling, and you know it. not much can match it.
well unless you start training again, you will NEVER EVER EVER get that back.
you will just be a pile of wasted flesh, of no use to mankind, and of even less use to yourself.
train or be left behind and live in another mans accomplishments on an internet forum.

Yeah.
That oughta do it.
Or try pr0n.
When you get carpal tunnel syndrome and just before you go blind, remember what it felt like to have the rush of somebody's hair in your wind as you sit on their face and go for the arm bar... or the thrill of the fwap of your fist against their tingly bits.
Isn't that enough? Is your mojo rising?
waterdragon, why don't you make a plan to compete in something thats, say, 3-6 months away. in whatever venue excites you the most right now, like a judo comp or something. that will give you time to get back into shape and brush up on your technique, and then gear up for the comp.
for me, there's no motivation equal to having something exciting and tangible on the calander to light a fire under my butt and get me to focus on training. there's something about knowing that somewhere out there your opponent is training hard just to kick your ass, to get you up off the couch and to the gym.
then once youre in shape and gotten in the groove, its easier to maintain.
works for me at least, i need tangible goals.
pretend that the entire aikido school turned up at your school and torn your sign down, and trod upon it with their shoeless, stinky feet. and that you're training to go over there for the big rumble

Master...Teach me kung fu.
this is going to suck with your weather down there but I say take up running again for starts. I just participated in a 3.5 mile race (had to walk some) but after that first mile, you remember that you hate running, but you also hate drinking and smoking and everything else that is messing with your fitness. Then when you are done, you feel great and can drink a beer and just go back to hating running. Keep doing this, until you no longer hate running. Then you are in shape.

3. rubby is in the same state as you now. When you two get together to train, you want him to puke, not you.

You don't need motivation, you need to do it. Once you're doing it the motivation kicks in out of habit and your nature.
You're right. Anyway, I have 2 dudes that are going to start standup with me tonight. We're gonna do that two or 3 times a week, and Judo 3 times a week starting next week.Originally Posted by fa_jing
