Comfort Zone!

[Brian R. VanCise]

So how many of you like to be out of your comfort zone regarding training in the martial arts. Myself I like to constantly be challenged and overcoming obstacles in my training. Often I find the best way to do so is to find something that I need to work on and then look and find the best teacher/coach I possibly can to push me to exceed.

So what do you do to ensure that you do not get to comfortable?

I try to workout with someone WAY better than me...

Excellent as that is always a good way to push yourself and take you out of your comfort zone!

I love working out with other disciplines. I have a great study group of 5-7 guys, all from different training backgrounds.

Hey HKPhooey that is an excellent and diverse approach to working outside your comfort zone.

The only comfort zone I have so far is when sparring. I liek to have a left lead cause that is my strong side, but my right side feels way to weak so Ive staying with a right lead for a while and while Ive take a lot more hits Im getting better.

about any studying is ok with me. If I am not familar with the system I enjoy learning .

I don't have a comfort zone. The biggest thing I need to work on is my stamina, so I run...I hate running. I'm lazy, but I do martial arts and I tend to burn myself out, but I wouldn't consider that a comfort zone. I also meet with a group to do a little MMA twice a month even though I've had no formal training in grappling. I always lose when they start to grapple, but that allows me to learn through experience. We also hold a little workshop on the side too.

I think if you always push yourself that little bit harder each session, and make continuous improvement, then you always have to focus and be a little bit outside of your comfort zone. I do also spar with some boxing guys sometimes, just using hands (probably my weakest weapon), which I consider training outside my comfort zone. So tempting to throw a teep to keep them back!

Every Friday though, I have a big session with my best mate. And I dare say that the intensity of the session is double that of class. And we train real hard in class. I swear to god I don't know how we do the Friday session sometimes, but we just train well and push each other to new limits all the time. But it's so so worth it!!!

I don't mind the work but I hate the sweat. The more I sweat, the more I have to work to break a sweat. I'm naturally lazy so I try not to let myself get too comfortable.

Serious? Man I love the sweat, and the burn on my legs from my percutane cream. A couple of weeks ago, there were 2 guys in class, trained together and really pushed each other. After the class, we were sitting down having a talk with our Kru, and there was all this steam coming off their shoulders and back! It was a chilly sort of night, but the amount of steam coming off their bodies!
