The Enthusiasm for BJJ Training is Gone (and it’s ok)

Gary Berger — Sat, 06 Oct 2018 01:09:55 +0000

A lot of times in these videos it may come across as I’m always excited to train BJJ. That I never get tired. That I never lack enthusiasm.

And that simply isn’t true.

I’m human and lack excitement for training from time to time.

Very often one of the periods where I always feel a lull in my excitement for Brazilian Jiu-jitsu training is after big competitions wins.

The excitement of winning the tournament or fight always sends me down to at least a week of lethargy. Then it picks back up afterwards and I get back to normal.

I’ve found that if I try to fight against this feeling and push it, it simply gets worse. But if I simply go with it and give it time to run it’s course. I come back strong.

And in this video I talk about how the cool morning I experienced felt like I feel right now. The temperature dropped and life seems to slow down a bit after the rush of the summer heat.

Like that, I feel as though my body is slowing down after the heat of hard training and competition followed by the excitement of meeting new people at seminars.

And if you feel like this, lacking excitement or motivation for jiujitsu, don’t worry it happens to all of us. It’s ok.

Should You Still Train When You’re Really Tired? (Part 1)

Gary Berger — Mon, 14 Aug 2017 00:00:00 +0000

I trained BJJ today despite being fresh off the plane, jet lagged and exhausted, so it seemed like a good day to tackle today’s topic, namely whether you should train on those days when you’re so tired you can’t see straight. Also I cover some examples of how to modify your workout on those lower-energy days so you don’t get injured. Hope this helps all you busy people trying to juggle life and work and training! Part 2 of this talk is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UelSYQiUUbc
