I don't care about competing.
Hey y'all. I've been training for 3 years and 1 month (yes I count). Got my blue belt December last year.
I hate telling stories so I'll just save you some time:
People at my gym say I'm pretty good and highly technical ever since I was a white belt. I enjoy the sport and it keeps me healthy physically and mentally. Oftentimes I'm beating bigger/heavier opponents and giving upper belts some work.
Coaches and training partners who compete a lot are pushing towards competition. They say I'd do really good.
I don't wanna cut the weight. I don't wanna put in the extra work to get competition ready. I don't wanna spend the money. I don't wanna spend the time. I don't wanna be recorded by strangers, winning or losing.
Am I being a little bitch or are these reasons totally valid? Because I really don't care about competing.
What's fucked up about this feeling is that I want to get to purple, brown and eventually black belt. I love this sport, but just not enough to compete and put myself out there. Feels like an inconvenience instead of something exciting to look forward to.
Thoughts? You can be rude, idgaf. I was raised by sociopaths.
