Ever just have one of those days...?

Where everything is off? Like you can't maintain any type of control for that long or finish a submission? Man I felt totally out of sync today, almost makes me want to stop doing BJJ for a week or so then come back. But I know it would be better for me to just push on and keep training. Any of you guys ever feel like this?

all the time....i just had one of those nights tonight. I felt like I could do nothing right...Jiu jitsu is like that, I feel like i am getting it and getting it, but then i have a night like tonight and realize that I have so much more to learn, its gets me down a times, but I get excited about how much more i can learn....

Everyone feels that, take a few days off and let your brain/body reset and rest. I've taken a few days off now and I'm ready to get back training and improving the cauliflower ear. Bawitdaba.

I'm a white belt, so that's every day for me.

One of the blue belts at my school said this is a symptom of someone getting ready to launch themselves to a new plateau. So, this might be a good thing.

I had this happen to me recently. I came back to training after taking a month off to heal a shoulder injury and I felt like I was starting all over again. I'm hoping it'll pass but it definetely shook up my confidence.

Its a rollercoaster......I have been training hard every week for a solid year and around the 11th month and being promoted to blue...I was mentally drained a bit and was a little bit in a funk. take a few days off and relax . After a few days off you get the itch to get back and train. I am just realizing now how much more I need to learn and improve on.

Some nights you're the hammer, and some nights you're the nail.
