Have you ever doubted your ability in martial arts?

Everybody has lows but never doubt your abilities as it will really lower your confidence. In this field, beginners with high confidence and clearer thought during a match sometimes easily defeats those who have themselves called "masters".

Yes, many times. It's the reason why I've stayed in training all these years. When you get to the point where you think you have learned everything and can take on anybody, then that's the time you are in danger and need to get a wake up call. Because training never ends, you should always stay hungry to become a better hunter, likewise in martial arts, you should always train with the proper mindset of expecting that whoever you're going to go up against in the future will be always be better than you, that way you keep pushing your boundaries and overcome your limits.

Yes, constantly. I don't have the time to keep up a steady schedule to train, so I'm constantly doubting my current abilities and my progress. But I think that doubting your abilities, at least from time to time is a part of martial arts, its a way of looking at yourself compared to others or compared to where you want to be.

I think everyone at one point has doubted themselves. I still do time to time. Not because I think there's someone out there who can kick my a**, but doubt in possessing the right skills at the right time on the right day.

Also, whenever I'm sore and my body's aching, I often wonder how I would do under those circumstances; I'm tired, muscles are sore, half my mind is somewhere else, I'm physically drained and all I want to do is plop down in front of the TV for rest of the day with a family sized bag of chips... for myself. I doubt I'd win in any fight at that moment.

Many times. The trick is to keep at it.

You need to sit back, relax and see that it doesn't matter how good or bad you are at martial arts, you enjoy doing it, then get straight back on the horse.

Everybody has those days. The measure of a person is what they do with those days.

I am 100% sure I am no good at martial arts. So to answer you question, no. I do not doubt my ability.

Everybody has good and bad days, it seems like you didn't have a good day.

This is a part of life that happens to the best of us.

Yeah, that happens to me all the time, but we have lots of beginners in our class, so sometimes it seems they are progressing really fast, always learning new things, when I seem to stay the same.

Good luck.

It's only natural to doubt just train hard and do your best :D

I am going through this now. But I'll never give up
