When I first started training again in November 1, 2006, I was training seven times a week. It was exciting to be training again and I could not get enough. I think my wrestling back ground and a short nine month BJJ training in 1999 helped my out a lot.
At first, I was soaking up everything that was being taught to me. I was holding my own when it came to sparring, but for a while now I feel that I have not improved much.
I remember talking to a fellow training partner and he made a good point. I was explaining to him that I felt like I was not improving, my game seem to be the same, but he mentioned that, “it is not that you are not improving, but that everyone else is improving too.”
That was it. I train with a lot of great guys that want to improve as well, and are doing what it takes to improve, coming to class, training outside of class, working on conditioning.
Although I do train a lot, it works for me, and I will continue train and stay focused
