All martial artists come to a plateau at some point during training. It is important to recognize why the burnout is occurring.
At Elite Training Center in Redondo Beach, CA we encourage cross training. Cross training often leads to new perspectives. The instructors at Elite whether Krav Maga, Kali Silat, Muay Thai Kickboxing, MMA or BJJ (Brazilian Jiu Jitsu), encourage everyone to partake in as many systems as possible. The “old” way of thinking was to “focus on one art.” This way of thinking is closed minded and somewhat archaic. To resist gaining knowledge on your martial path is a true disservice to the arts. Whether the instructor is giving proper information or improper at least there is something to be learned.
In the event you are “burning out” on Krav Maga, then work on BJJ. If you are “burning out” on Muay Thai, then work on Kali Silat.
As mentioned in previous posts Elite’s systems will blend together. Although you may be doing similar techniques, hearing the perspective of another instructor or training with different students may be the water that pushes out the mud of your regimen.
Truth is in everything, but there are no absolutes other than what is being trained at the moment.
