Is it OK to quit martial arts to concentrate more on your career?

Is it OK to quit martial arts to concentrate more on your career?

ABSOLUTLY NOT!!!!! ...says the guy who, over the years, has stopped for career reasons, school reasons, family reasons, injury reasons, etc.

I have been at this stuff since 1972 and I think my progression is really slow, but there is never a too slow in my opinion, just as long as you're learning. There is however, IMO, a too fast.....

And there is nothing saying you can't go back to martial arts down the road.

 

If I couldn't train I would find a new job. Lol.

 

I stopped for a while. Needed to study and learn things out of my comfort zone to make me better at my job.
No job. No money. No money, no training etc.

I was at one point however working 6 days a week and training 7. It wasnt until my friends didnt see me for almost 5 months I kinda realised one thing needed a break.

 

You got rid of your friends, right?

 

Training is your friend to the end

(That came out a bit like chucky )

 

Damn right..

 

if they were really friends, they would be training with you
