Fun... yeah... so fun.
Sorry buddy 😅
As long as Mike is the one getting low kicked, it is always gonna be fun.
Just as well. Cuz you H2H. 😉 Good job, Icy Mike!
There's an additional layer to burnout as you age. You physically don't recover as fast, get injured easier, etc. But you also (or at least I do) feel anxious when you're not training because you feel like your athleticism is fading and not using it is a waste.
Yeah exactly. Luckily only 37 so I've still got some recovery left in me!
My rotator cuff isn't torn! Your rotator cuff is torn! Who?! What?! Stop asking!
That’s why I’ve ahh kg easy tried to focus on hitting hard as possible and accurate as possible.
Yup I don't get burned out so much as I get injured. The forced breaks are horrible, I feel like a junkie in need of a fix, and I also have experience at that so I know what I mean.
If you arent competing, just ask your doc for low dose testosterone to maintain your levels. It can help you maintain recovery levels as you age. You'll still drop, as the doctor isnt gonna give you as much as like bodybuilders take, but the drop will be way slower for a lot of men.
Best way to combat burnout is funny cat videos, doggy cuddles and a sugar rush. Standup comedy works well too.
Haha all good methods!!
This video is so Martial arts wholesome
Thank you!! Lol
So fun to watch!
Thanks for watching!!
Great topic! This is a really good reminder for anyone who trains, but I think especially for school owners. I recently took a day away from teaching to focus on personal errands and get a bit of a recharge. My students were supportive, and I reminded myself that taking a break now and then helps me maintain the proper quality of instruction they deserve.
Yeah - that's always a struggle because you want to be there for your students. But if you're burntout - then you're never there. Thanks for watching!
I’ve been pretty spoiled by my dojo. I train upwards of 5 days a week, 3 most weeks, but one of those days is always a Monday which is kumite night. So the training is always varied even though it’s karate.
That is awesome!!
Cruel Angel's Thesis? Sick. Fun video!
Thanks so much!!
this is such an important topic..thank you for making this video..i sometimes struggle with the feeling of "deflation"as you discribe it or not beeing motivated some days.i always felt so bad about it so i couldnt even enjoy the day off training.
Rest is so important - but so is being present. Thanks for watching!
I just remember all the times I've been attacked, the fights I've been in or the guy that came within 2 millimeters of killing me when he stabbed me twice in the leg and I used my Matsubayashi Ryu to disarm him and save my life.. That helps.. Or you could put on women's aerobics.. That get's the blood pumping..
@@JaybayJay you need to live a less dangerous life! 🤣
@@metrolinamartialarts Can't happen lol.. I grew up in biker central Ontario Canada.. home of the biggest massacre.. research the bandido massacre, you'll see where I grew up.. I knew the guys who killed a friend of mine to start it and the guy that got killed and this is a small town area but it's got it's numbskulls. I don't know all the bikers, but i grew up with their kids, we all went to the same school back then. But my brother was my biggest bully so it didn't matter where i lived. I started tkd at 10, did a few classes then I quit cause of the cartoon the Raccoons. I was teaching Matsubayashi ryu at 15 as Senpai at white.
The fist time I saw my older brother attacked, he was 12, the older boy was 18 and they went through a store window, and then had a glass knife fight right in the street while adults watched. And my brother won that fight, and he was my bully so it's not hard for me to find the will to train. He used to attack me all the time. Fear has always been a very powerful motivator for me. It's part of why I've never lost a street fight in 37 years lol.
@JaybayJay won't happen* - you can like, move. 😅
I get what you're saying - but I still think for a lot of people fear is a detractor not a motivator.
Props on the final fantasy music brother! Watched this with my 9 yo who is in martial arts and sometimes has trouble focusing during his at-home practice :)
Awesome!! Thanks for watching!!
Real folk blues and WINDS also!
This video convinced me to subscribe. Reason 1: Great combination of information and entertainment. Engaging to watch while being informative at the same time. Not everyone can do that. Reason 2: Cruel Angels Thesis background music was so good.
Reason 2 OP 🤜💥🤛
TH-cam famous now lol. Good vid brother, burnout is definitely one of those things that we don't discuss a ton. It does help to prioritize something else as well as having a different goal to strive for. Been doing that myself recently, focusing more on answering questions in BJJ and being a better pad holder in Kickboxing. Not really training myself or lifting heavy. 3 weeks off does wonders for the mind and body.
We made it!! Lol
It's like your body was asking for rest! Lol
The soundtrack to this video 9 out of 10 🔥🔥🔥 💯
Thank you!
Great Vid man! And man i hear so much FF7 themes in the background and that,
combined with your great story telling is def. a like and sub! A man of culture 👍
Sorry for all the ninja-edits but dude i've to compliment your editing on this video:
The storytelling and funny skits are great, the flow and pacing are top notch too!
Thanks so much!!!
@@metrolinamartialarts You're welcome and same: i'd a great time watching.
I wish i could visit and train with you guys while getting my ass kicked sometime!
Sadly there's a huge pond in between.
Till then, i'll keep watching!
I work out every day out of necessity... Motion is lotion! I think fighting is not fun... but learning to fight is fun! LOL great video!
Yeah, I can concede that. I think training to fight is not fun - but the fight is.
This is such an important and brave video.
Thanks brotha!
That's a great blanket. Whoever picked out that blanket has great taste
It is a great blanket. They do have ok taste lol
Damn 2 videos for the price of 1! Love that
Definitely 🤣
motivation is temporary and will only bring you so far. Doing it feels bad but will bring you to the moon and beyond
Motivation is fleeting - Discipline is forever
This was such a good video. I felt like your personality shone in this one. I feel like you have had few good videos but then you haven't been able to hook me in with your personality so I would watch every single one of your videos like Icymike does. I love this more personal style of video. I will now be binge watching your recent past videos.
Thanks so much!! It really means a lot.
Awesome video also as a big Pokemon fan since I was little it put a smile on my face to see the Pikachu and Eevee with the eevelutions pillow
Pokemon is my jam. My wife and I love it
What a genius way to get to the point of the whole idea. Brilliant concept and very entertaining. Your advice applies to life in general, if u r not having fun, it won't last and you will hate your life for not doing what you enjoy ❤
Thanks so much!!
Right on time, thanks brother!
Thank you for watching!!
Thanks for making this video. Been feeling mentally fatigued after I won my first amateur Muay Thai fight. I’ve been training for 5 months and have competed 3 times, 2 point competitions prior to my debut. My coach is trying to get me to fight again soon and I honestly don’t want to but I don’t want to come off as a bitch in his eyes since he’s old school. I just haven’t been feeling as great in training as I used to and have been a lot more tired than usual.
Thank you.
currently going through this, thanks for the video!
Thanks for watching brother - I appreciate it!
First time seeing Ed in a video was him breathing in a pepper ball gun round in an Icy Mike video, and im like who the heck would do that, then I stumbled across his own channel and its been great. You're really great a presenting, the editing is good, fun subject matter, and the anime touch in the sounds and little things have been amazing. Keep up the awesome work!
Thanks so much!!! I really appreciate it 🙏
Thanks for this one. I took a break that was far too long and I've been back to kendo and kickboxing for three weeks now and it's great. Above all else, it's fun.
Seems logical and simple enough for me to have thought of myself, but I guess I needed to hear this from someone else.
Good stuff.
Great music in this one. Jenova and Cruel Angel's Thesis remixes especially.
Glad you found some ways to keep the training fun. Keep the videos fun and we'll keep watching. 👊
Thanks so much!!
Your words mean a lot to me thanks 👍 I have subscribed
Thanks so much!!
Good timing with this video. I didn't make my level-3 Muay Thai team, which I was training almost every day for. Once I didn't make the team, I found myself skipping class and just going in to work on my own in between classes. I'm pretty much ready to get back in there and work with level-2 after a few days of avoiding class. Thanks for reminding me to have fun! We're going to make level-2 even cooler than level-3, watch!!
Glad it helped out brother!!
What a wholesome video, bro. Love it
Thank you so much!!
Thank you for inspiring me to take up JKD, it’s been a month now and I’ve learned more than I can imagine.
That's awesome 🤜💥🤛
Great breakdown. It makes me think of all the martial arts that I've quit!
Haha all the new ones ro start!
Great content, Ed. I deal a lot with burnout in my profession and a form of undulating periodization tie to a strategic Deloading week seems to work...most of the time, lol. Keep up the good work and I'm looking forward to more content.
Thanks brother! I appreciate it
Thanks for making this video, Ed!
I’ve had some experience with burnout in other parts of my life, and seeing it in others, so this feels really important to me - and this video really does well at presenting options and reminding us all of the importance of fun. It’s also really cool that you thought of giving Mike and Seth a relaxing time after the USDC trip!
I wish you the best in all endeavours, particularly in your martial arts and your TH-cam work! May we all beat burnout and have fun!
Thanks!! I really appreciate it 🤜💥🤛
Love the ff7 soundtrack, and this cover of it!
Good stuff!!
For the Algorythms. And this is a great message.
Thanks so much!!
Great video so true. .i began training in 1973. In chinatown and have taught from.1975. To now at 74 still.have end less training. In jkd kali and mixed arts had four schools. Teach small groups and i condition all the time privates . i never stopped.except for vacations. Much respect great video. sifu jack usmc
Loved how you went over this topic and how to approach. Also…. The music was fire. Lots of “is that?? Now way…”
Thanks so much!!
Great topic. I've been training since 1987, & sometimes it's good to take a week off. I will be going to NC, for the 1st time, this August. There's a big martial arts event in Salisbury NC, that my wife & I are attending.
I'm 20 minutes from there!
@@metrolinamartialarts One cure for Burnout is attending Seminars/Workshops! Throughout the 90's, while attending the local Tae Kwon Do studio, I'd take seasonal trips to big cities nearby that were hosting M A events. Usually Ninjutsu masters in Milwaukee & Dan Inosanto JKD in Minneapolis, but also Hapkido & new arts like BJJ. Fun to try new martial arts without the pressure of remembering the material for a future test.
Would you like to know about the NC event? I don't want to "advertise" on your page without permission. *I am teaching on day 1 of a 3 day workshop.
That pop up pirate game is my nemesis, was nearly blinded in one eye by that damn thing.
I'm getting anxiety watching you guys lean over it.
Great video
Thanks so much!
Keep up the good work brother I'm 60 years old I had the herniated discs. So I stopped kicking now just all movement boxing upper Street defense I started in 78 and of course Bruce was a big influence all his books readings more his approaches and philosophies an understanding of oneself
That's awesome! I've got a bulging disc, just trying to keep it happy is a full-time job 🤣
@@metrolinamartialarts you do a good job of keeping it happy good job keep up the good work.
True martial artist has ultimate Zanshin.
Who else here has the ultra instinct kicks in when realizing Kant theme song in this video?
It restores burnout instantly like Megalixir does.
It definitely boosts motivation!
9:38
Never expected to hear a remix of Cruel Angels Thesis from Evangelion in a martial arts video
You're welcome lol
OSU! Great subject to video essay upon, also I enjoy the final fantasy 7 battle theme trap remix.
Thanks so much!!
I'm so happy this uploaded on my birthday 🥳🎂.
I get lessons and have a good laugh.
Also if I played that pirate game I want to get side kicked by Sensei Seth just to know what it would feel like 😄.
Happy Birthday!!! Haha, are you sure about that?! 🤣
@@metrolinamartialarts Thank you, also yes I'm sure 😂.
I'mma take the leg kick and solar plex shot from Sensei Seth, and the liver shot from Mike, I think that would be the worst/best fun?
You're probably right 🤣
Great vid. I struggle sometimes since I do weigh training, tkd and bjj. Easy to burnout. Also id take a hit from Seth. I feel Mike would do his laugh and drive through my soul.
Haha Mike does do that 🤣
Agreed 👍💯😊
🤜💥🤛
I been training like 6 years now started off 4-5 days I do 6 days a week now even when I don't feel like going I go cause I know the days I don't go my future opponents at the gym going super hard but honestly when my body tells me it's ok to take an extra days off plus the extra day off all I think about is going back to training .. earned a subscriber btw :p
Thanks so much!!
From someone who had HE burnout, this is a good call, reminds me of rehab...
Definitely!!
Ye, alright. I'll comment for cruel angel's thesis.
🤜💥🤛
hahaha, that leg kick , darn
Brutal, huh?
I think there is another one - train your mental health.
Everybody has an episode of something hitting them hard. At the beginning training is fun. Then after few days it's still fun but the hard thing is getting deeper and deeper in your mind, to the point where you are not thinking about training anymore. It also causes some kind of burnout because "why would I do this when it's not fun anymore because of the hard thing".
Training your mental health will gladly improve your immunity to this kind of things, but when they actually appear - try to talk to someone. It could be your coach (they are most of the time older and dealt with some similar problems as you, just trust them), your friends (even if they don't get your point as good as you, sometimes even talking it out can help a lot) or even a therapist (they took a lot of knowledge just to be here to help you, especially the sport therapists could get your point).
Stay safe and have fun everyone :)
Mental health is very important!
Hope things are going well for ya, Ed! Looking forward to some great new content coming up from you soon, sir! ;-) Ni hao, ma? Wo xiwang ni yiqie dou hao.
More to come! Just released one today.
👊
🤜💥🤛
i've been feeling the burnout approaching recently and i think this helped me catch it early.
i just couldn't really figure out what it was, feeling listless when usually i'd be having a blast, no usual surges of adrenaline, the dopamine just isn't hitting right and i was kinda confused as to why.
Heck, even my peers were asking if i was alright and i just didnt have an answer because nothing really changed or had me feeling down in life.
Oh dang. Now that you're aware - what will you do?
@@metrolinamartialarts I took some time to realign myself w the things i really wanted to focus on and found that sharing this piece of my life with a friend was really good for me
If i could describe the feeling I was having, I'd say it was almost like being lost and I knew the general direction I needed to go but a thick fog just slowly creeping in and clouding my mind had me stumbling around in a circle. I got swept up in the motions of routine and was just autonomous for a bit.
So I brought a friend to training a few times and honestly seeing the gears turning and clicking as he learned and got smacked around was really satisfying.
Realized that I have a lot I can teach while having so much I can still learn or improve at and then having chats after like "yea i remember the first time i got popped in the nose" 😂
it was like a breath of fresh air
goofing around and having fun again was a nice change of pace that i really needed
That Evangelion opening tho
🔥🔥🔥
I train textbook shotokan kata in a kendo uniform. Life never gets boring xD
That's weird but awesome!!
I love your hajime no ippo shirt dude
I’m trying to get the KGB plain hoodie really hard to find though
Yeah, seems like no one wants to make a simple hoodie
@@metrolinamartialarts I’m waiting for the pink one to drop that takamura wears lol 😂
What is the background flutey music throughout the video, specifically at the 5 minute mark going into a talky section? It's really nice and emotion evoking. The bit around the 1 minute mark while reading through text, somehow reminds me of the 1st season Naruto ending theme song.
Regardless, appreciate the overall video composition, the background sound/music bits really stood out to me.
5 min: Those who inherit the will of Fire - Naruto Remix
1 min: Is another Naruto Remix. Check out RiftiBeats on TH-cam.
@@metrolinamartialarts It wasn't just in my head! Awesome, thank you.
Great video! But I've gotta ask...where can I get that Magikarp poster?!
Great question!! I self-printed mine at Walgreens lol
I have no motivation to go to hema right now. I've been doing longsword for more than a year now and it's kinda just hit me at this point, just how much time you have to put into this in order to actually be good with a sword. If I go I know I'll just be there doing drills that don't come naturally and aren't fun. So I usually say that I'll go, but then procrastinate and get there 30 minutes late and just decide to wait 30 more minutes to go in. And then I do the dagger and grappling classes because those are always fun because they come more naturally to me.
I think longsword will be fun in the future if I keep training to the point where I know what I'm doing, but I don't know if that much work is really worth it to me.
Keep trucking- you'll find your fun again!
🤙🤙
🤜💥🤛
Ngl I burned out and getting my shoulder ripped with an 8 month recovery was my exit from martial arts. Ngl don’t regret it. I learned enough to defend myself and restrain drunk muscular people which was useful. I think martial arts can be a lifelong journey but it’s not for everyone and prioritizing other hobbies after achieving basic competence to be more well rounded in life can be good.
Definitely agree
Hey, love the channel love the video! As a martial artist who fell deeply in love with weightlifting I would encourage you to get rid of the pad and squat with shoes that don’t squish. It might be a bit uncomfortable for a while but ultimately you want to be as stable as possible to get the most strength adaptation.
My arms don't allow for me to properly back squat - I'll keep the pad. The shoes are normally for running - looking to get some good weightlifting shoes. Thanks for watching!
That is the best reason I’ve ever heard! There is a specialty bar called a safety squat bar. It puts the handles in front of you and was originally developed for powerlifters who injured a shoulder. Depending on how restricted you are I could be a great option. But if the pad works well more power to you!
@Richard Peterson I have a kabuki trap bar and their safety squat (transformer) bar is on my wishlist
Great topic! That game looks like a lot of fun! I don't think there's a winning answer, but I would probably take a leg kick from you (Ed) first time I lost. I'm horrible at games so probably everyone would get to take a shot 😂
Haha the fun thing is that it's a game of chance - makes it all the more anxious
Martial arts should be fun
100%!!!
Seth planned this whole win. He knew everything.
I’d rather take a punch from Mike than a kick from JD or Seth
Seth omnipotent
love the Evangelion music
Thanks!!
Is that a remixed version of wind- by akeboshi I hear at around 2min.?
Yes it is!
Final Fantasy 7 music? I swear I'm just watching your videos to puzzle out the music now.
Good lol 😆 🤣
I see you're a fellow Final Fantasy fan!
Of course! Great game series
As a programmer, I feel _almost_ like I've mastered burnout, I decided to do fifteen minutes of Judo (Koshi-Waza's) messing around with a wrestler today and I never do that, but Martial Arts are huge (I'd even include break dancing and tricking) and it's been a struggle to even focus on them without getting distracted but if I tried to "Master" any of them like I do/did programming, my body would either break or I'd have major burnout concerns.
I feel that!
I haven't seen too much burnout during Aging with the Martial Arts Industry... although per say watched one too many times Kickboxer 1-2 with Van DAMN. GEEEAWWWRG
I'm thinking it happens a lot with people who are professional fighters or professional martial artists (school owners) more often than not
@@metrolinamartialarts who is this pardon
@@AjaychinuShah who is who?
@@metrolinamartialarts i'm gonna remove my apple squirrel bottom from this conversation here be.
Woah, I am really bad at kata! I will just hit the makiwara today, and tomorrow, and the day after, not like the kata will dissapear...
Exactly!
I am in the middle of a huge burnout myself. I’ve been having a hard time finding the joy in Martial arts, when for so long it’s been my life. At the beginning of the year injured myself, and took some time off, but now I’m running into that exact problem of coming back. Do you have any advice for coming back when you feel like you’ve hit a wall?
Man, it's tough. I always think of little goals or small victories when training. Try to be present, acknowledge you're not where you want to be, but you're excited to get there.
Each round, rep, roll, is building who you want to be. Failure included.
Then watch some awesome anime or workout motivation stuff 🤣
@@metrolinamartialarts bro do a video on your best motivational anime for when you’ve spiraled down into a hole.
@@hellrazr3000 that is actually planned!
I get the topic of the video,,,,, but what’s deal with pop up prirate?
To have fun lol
3:36 couple rules of thumb. 1. HARD WORK isn’t always SMART WORK. 2. BEING IN SHAPE doesn’t win a fight. 3. THINKING a MARTIAL ART has you all set self defense wise is a misconception. This is why we ought not boast. Ever. 4. PLAYFIGHTING WITH FRIENDS is no way to gage where we are at PHYSICALLY. When it comes to DEFENSE. 💯☺️🤛
What does that have to do with burnout?
@@metrolinamartialarts well because people will train the wrong way for a long time. And the consequences are pretty serious. Working out too much thinking physically fit is tough, thinking more work is good work. Not getting enough rest to recharge ones tank. And of course. These are just common misconceptions. Plus the added danger of being burned out as the real life situation comes into play, and now we have a hard time during crunch time.
@@JKDVIPER I see.
So, overworking can lead to burnout.
@@metrolinamartialarts ya but the overall point was. Why do we train at all if it doesn’t work? Number 2 was, don’t be of the mind that being in tip top shape means you’re ready for crunch time. (A REAL FIGHT) Meaning, we are training hits, we are training grappling, obviously for some reason other than looking cool right? And lastly, being SUPER TIRED in a burn out state is exactly the wrong medicine if you are concerned about needing a defense out there in the real world. All this has to do with YOU WINDING UP with a VALUABLE PRODUCT at the end of the day. Not lying to oneself.
🤜💥🤛
the naruto lofi remixes 😁
They jam
Have you ever train with Jean Jacque and ever gotten some tips for clinching since you and him have the same disability I feel like he’d have a mountain of tips for you to utilise
Yup! Trained with him a few times. Great man.
I want ask how to combat injury related frustrations.
Oh great question! I'm dealing with a back injury currently. I think I need to make a video about this one soon.
I think burnout is mental. Worn out is physical. Burnout happens in all aspects.
Among taking those hits, from among any of you, my preference would be to have health insurance.
🤣🤣🤣
I've experienced burnout in my profession, NEVER in the martial arts.
Must be nice lol
@@metrolinamartialarts It's a labor of love, and I have the scars (and awards) to prove it. lol
:)
🤜💥🤛
I saw you in instagram sparring with one famouse savate master I forgot his name, he has some good video . he took them down I think
Prof Nicolas Saignac! I'm up there somewhere haha
@@metrolinamartialarts Cool. Btw the way how different is the training that savate to jkd? Because from what I noticed savate has more arsenal in the kicks and stuff.
@Supersperg yeah - Savate is a sport so it has a variety of attacks where JKD is more direct and less kicks.
Its the same with all sports
You get dehydrated.... in the cns
The solution, is always amino acid based
Thats all the clues you get
🤜💥🤛
Should be picked kick from seth. EZ PZ
Maybe.
Probably not .
Yeah... that's a lot of human to kick you lol
Absolute Kyokushin used soft linear strokes and persones changed to Fixed hard linear strikes. Well, it’s permanent like CNN weaponry …
So, how about those real folk blues....
🤣🤣🤣
Yeah ... throw in some FF combat music in your videos, immediately I'm paying attention
🤣🤣🤣
Eat a lot of food
That's always fun lol
id take the liver shot from mike
Oof tough choice
