No matter if you’ve been training martial arts for five days or five years, your attitude and approach toward training affect your experience. Here are some of the factors that go into an effective training attitude for martial arts:
1. Humbleness
One factor that goes into an effective training attitude is staying humble. No matter how long you’ve been training, know that there is always room for improvement. So when you start to think that you’re an expert and have everything all figured out, be humble and choose humility over ego.
2. Focus
Focus is another factor in an effective martial arts attitude. Or, more specifically, staying focused when training and not letting life and stress distract you. Be aware of what you think about when you train, and if you notice your mind drifting elsewhere, bring your attention back to your training.
3. Persistence
When it comes to martial arts training, you have to think long-term. And because of the long-term nature of training, you’re bound to face obstacles and setbacks. At some point, you might even ask yourself, “Is it even worth it?” Even when questions like this arise, be persistent and stick with your journey.
4. Discipline
Along with persistence, a martial arts mindset requires self-discipline. If you feel like this is a skill that you lack, don’t worry. With time, you will develop this valuable skill and figure out what it takes to keep showing up – even when you don’t want to.
5. Confidence
An effective training attitude also includes having confidence in yourself. As you learn and grow in martial arts, you must believe in yourself and know that you’re capable of more than you think. And like discipline, it may not be present right away. Be patient, and over time your self-confidence will improve.
