Been training a little over 6 years, and a few months ago got my brown belt.
Through out those years I've consistently trained 4 to 5 days a week. Never had a serious injury that took me out for months. There were exceptions, but for the most part I was obsessed with jiu jitsu. Loved coaching and running classes wheb the professor wasn't going to make it, etc
But man.... last 2 months or so, it's like the fire is suddenly gone. I've been going once, maybe twice a week, and only to open mats. I'm becoming more and more relaxed about missing classes. And when I do go roll I'm not very motivated.
Not sure what is going on. I just turned 40 sure , but this sudden lack of interest was too sudden to chalk up to age.
I just don't want to sit thru warmups anymore. I'm tired of doing 2 or 3 techniques each class, it's repetitive, and suddenly I just want to skip all that and roll, if I even want to go at all.
I've always been one of the better guys at my academy , but due to my lack of motivation I'm getting caught in dumb subs by guys I was beating a couple of months ago without breaking a sweat.
What's going on? Is this permanent? Anyone else experienced this sudden change before?
