i havent noticed any changes when i train meaning i do go to sleep after but i kind of forget about it





do you feel secure about your martial art, do you think you can handle yourslef in a situation

After training how do you feel?
Right after class I feel fantastic. An endorphin rush i like to call a "budo buzz" The next morning is a different story, but the next "buzz" makes up for it. The ocosional black eye, califlowered ear, or limp are all marks of honor. If it was easy everyone would do it.
Reply:I often go out and get wasted after training so it is inaccurate. If we have done hard sparring or after weapons sparring (when i did it) I feel it the next day.





yes I can and have handled myself in a few situations over the years and used things I have learned in the varios arts I've studied.
Reply:After every Judo session I feel weak, spent, and exhausted.





Sometimes I am so sore that I can barely walk to the subway station to catch my train.





I was always afraid that if I got jumped after a particularly grueling session of Judo, that I would be too weak to defend myself.
Reply:That would depend on wether or not I sleep well.





If i sleep well I feel fresh, If I don't I feel sore and tired.





I feel I could do well if a bad situation happened, martial arts have helped me in a couple of situations a great deal.
Reply:Yes i do, i have allot of confidence in what i was taught and in myself.
Reply:I feel fresh the next day. But I am going to TKD 5 days a week. So i do train out side of class. I do get a day off from training that is on sunday.
Reply:jsut depends on the person i guess. everyone is different i sometimes wake sore as hell.depends
Reply:Very much depends on the discipline I'm training in, the level of the training, and the subject matter of the training.





I study and work with three principal disciplines and play with instructors and masters from a number of other disciplines to learn more about them and understand their similarities and differences.





Some workouts are very physically demanding and tiring, but while I may be physically tired afterward, I'm normally energized and very happy for quite some time as the result of a good workout. Other workouts are more mentally challenging in nature, and these often get me thinking in broader philosophical or technical terms about my own skills and knowledge, or about the course curriculum we teach in our schools and how we should adjust or add to it if appropriate.





I never simply forget about a workout. There is ALWAYS something to learn no matter what type of workout, what discipline, who the teacher is, or where it occurs. when we stop learning, growing, and enhancing our skills, we may as well quit and sit in front of the tv to watch the UFC or Human Weapon shows and become an armchair martial artist. I sincerely hope I never get to that point.





Am I secure in my skills - yes. Are there any guarantees - no. Do I think I'm up to the task of handling most aggression - yes. Do I want to - no, I'd rather not if I don't have to.
