When the body says stop...

    Ya know the feeling, you have sparred hard, you taken a few knocks. Maybe you have been unlucky and are trying to comeback from being winded. The inevitable punch shyness creeps in etc. When you are tired how do you reach down to keep going?

    Reason I ask is because I got into a chat with a lad in the pub, who was watching MMA on the telly, and I let it be known that I do it myself. SO he was curious as to how we find the balls and grit to see it through to the bell.

    Me? My body goes on auto-drive, and "Ill deal with the pain/tiredness after the fight". So my way is delay the fatigue mentally and or the pain too.

    Cause of the slagging you'd get off the lads if you gave up when you could win

    +1.

    I don't fight MMA, but three weeks ago I competed (Judo), I'd six fights on the day and lost every one of them.

    When I went three down I dug in a little deeper, at four and five I was still positive - I knew I wasn't Judo sharp on the day (I'd trained only BJJ & some MMA and no judo) and I knew I was having a pox of a day, however I knew I was fit & strong.

    I'd confidence that the training I'd put in with the lads in RFA wouldn't let me down and I stayed positive, all the time thinking if I win just one fight my day would turn.

    Five down, and honestly I repeated my signature here (below) to myself and went out thinking - win this one and your taking away a win - I lost lol.

    In competition I'd never give up, but in training there has to come a point at which your taking too much punishment and have to weigh off injuries which would put you out for a few days, or put you out of a competition which is looming - this isn't giving up, this is using common sense.

    Good thread OP.
