I go to class twice a day four days a week. Classes are 2 hours long so 16 hours total training I roll about hour a day, rest of the time drilling and also I train my Judo twice a week for about an hour no more than that though getting thrown sucks.

Why do you only "go to a few classes here and there , but not consistently"
It sounds like you dont like doing it
A few reasons Tom . I get frustrated really easy , something I really gotta work on for sure. I get frustrated with how I am not able to execute the moves I am learning , and I know I shouldnt , because its part of the learning curve . Another reason is just having the motivation to go , I think I let my work life consume to much of my energy , and thats another thing I gotta do , is leave my work at work and not let it take over my life outside.
sounds like you need to relax man. you already have a job to take seriously. just have fun with jiu jitsu :)Quote:

I can understant that. Some days i leave class feeling like i'm making tons of progress and really starting to get it. Other days, or even weeks, i feel like im not making any progress or even getting worse.
I guess learning to have patience and dealing with frustration is all apart of the humbling JJ experience
You got Coach Zog man, you will be fine in the long run. With his help you should a destroyer soon enough. :)Quote:

Don't let Tom fool you, the dudes a beast, and he'll be tearing it up in the competition scene soon enough ;)
Its a long journey my friend so strap in and enjoy the ride. Everyone progresses at a different rate, so don't get frustrated just rep more. The more mat time the better. About work, you have to just leave that shit at work. I still work a 40 hrs per week day job and then run the gym at night so I know how your job can eat you alive. Unless you run that company, the minute you walk out the door try consuming yourself with thoughts of jiu jitsu or whatever to keep work at work. Over time things will mellow out.Quote:
