Why do beginners gas out so quickly in martial arts? š„
Itās not always because theyāre unfit.
Your body is working hard while your brain is simultaneously trying to process distance, movement, incoming shots, what youāre going to throw back and everything else happening around you.
So you tense up.
You hold your breath.
You waste energy.
And suddenly a couple of minutes feels like a lifetime. š
Learning to stay relaxed and manage that pressure takes time and experience.
Eventually you learn when to tense, when to relax, when to explode and when to recover.
In my opinion, thereās no other sport that quite replicates the physical and mental pressure of combat sports at the same time.
And I think thatās exactly why so many of us become addicted to it.
You canāt replicate that feeling anywhere else. š
If this looks like something youād like to experience for yourself
