Martial Arts

[getaway]

I have been going to Tae Kwon Doe for about 3 years, recently i took a little break but as time went on, i really didnt wanan go bac, now i haf a small fear or returning bac all this time, anyone haf ne solutions? wut mite be causing this? i used to love taking karate, after this long break, since i didnt wanna go bac, i still wanted to build my body, so i took up weight training and cardio workouts involving abs etc, ive been working out for 5 months which is the amount of time i havent gone to karate

here's a thought ... don't go back.

it's sport, for fun, if it isn't fun what's the point ?

i think you just need to find something that you can have a passion for. I took kung fu for a year, and at the beginning it was fun and interesting, but the longer i went with it the less i looked forward to going to class, and eventually i just stopped going cause i'm just not into that. Just try other things out, and find something you really love doing.

and please spell correctly, i had to re-read like half of your post, k thx

i want to go back, its just, i gues a need a lil push? heh i loved it 3 years, i have a really good friend there who wants me to come back, and well it realyl doesnt matter if i like it or not, i really want to master a type of self defense, but i think its just the fear of what people or how i will feel after not going after such a long while, ive gotten sloppy as well

go or don't go.

stop making your life complicated.

Go back - you will just be a little sore with sloppy technique for a while. I took a few years off from my training when I was getting so fat. It didn't take long to get right back to where I was.

what are you 13? do you really need other people to make decisions for you? maybe you need to find a psychology board

[GM NOV8D]

if you have any desire to go back, go back. if its going back and not liking it you're worried about, why not try another form/art?

I had the same problem a few years ago. I always was in something like Karate, and other stuff. I ended up doing Kung-Fu for about 3 years and I took a long break. When I went back from the break I felt the same way (the more I went the less I wanted to be in it). I knew what I didnt like about it. I couldnt stand doing the Kata's, and all the things that was more of a dance and less of a martial art. You need to find out what it is that you dont like about your class and then find something that will interest you.
I personally found MMA. I love it

I do taekwondo, kickboxing and karate..It's great man. you need to learn how to fight. Well, I live in Northern ireland, so I do anyway lol.

[Gooseneck]

Change arts. Get into something with a little more practical training that will help you in a real-life situation. MMA is the best as far as being versitale and effective on the street, but research everything to see what might interest you the most. I myself am starting Muai Thai kickboxing soon and I cant wait.

man, just go back. youll feel a whole lot better once your about 5 minutes into class. i too, took time off from kung fu during the summer and came back with everyone shooting me wierd looks and gestures. theyll get over it, dont worry about it.
