Workout question

Working out question, when you work out at a martial art like jiu jitsu, are you supposed to work out until you can?t breathe and feel like passing out and never wanting to go back? I haven?t gone to my jiu jitsu class for sometime now. Just due to the fact that the last time I went I gave it my all and I was out of breath, almost wanting to pass out and give up. How do people who love to work out just love that feeling of being tortured? I wanna get myself worked up to the point where I feel comfortable doing that kind of stuff. Not to a point where I feel like going home because it hurts too damn much. Help me understand, please.

Will I still feel an immense pain and urge to not want to go on once I'm in some kind of shape?

I'm just curious because I'm sure if everyone felt the same pain and urge to give up there wouldn't be any sports right now. So I mean it's obvious to me I have to get thorugh some physical and psychological things in order to get where I want to go. But the question is how do I achieve that goal?

the more you push yourself to the edge like that, the quicker you will get into good shape.

It'll get easier. I doubt you'll get to the point where you won't break a sweat. BTW, I don't advocate going full-tilt every session. That can cause problems if you push yourself too hard too soon. Start at a comfortable level and work up.

Aching pain is good...stabbing pains are bad.

Well I think it's a little bit of both. I'm just so out of shape and they push me hard. It's similar to high school football where they run and play their hearts out and puke their guts out afterwards.

This is a reason why I put off going to class until I can get my cardio level up. I bought a membership at 24 Hour Fitness but have yet to use it. I plan to go tonight (hopefully) and start running on the threadmill. The neighborhood I live in isn't fit to run in it at night.

 
its good to really push yourself hard like that maybe... 3 or 4 times a week, but on the off days at least jog maybe a mile or two, just so you dont get too sore, and you're still staying active.

Good luck. The most important thing is to stay with it for a while. Give it at least two or three weeks of solid effort. You'll be surprised at how fast your cardio system can get better. Must faster than building muscles.
 
It happens to me occasionally when I stop kendo or something but the next time i go (usually within a week) i feel much better during practice. It practices like those you described that I love the most. Now, you wont see me saying that during the practice, but after i've caught my breath, i feel immensly better. ANd fyi, I practice like that and each time i do, my exercise induced athsmea gets less serious. Good stuff all around 🙂
 
Grappling martial arts like jiu jitsu, judo, and wrestling/shoot fighting are known for being one of the most tiring activities you can partake in, minute for minute. The reason being that the majority of sports out there have either air or water resistance. (running or swimming, for example). With grappling arts, your resistance is your opponent's muscles, so you get tired much faster. It's a bit like aerobic weight lifting except that you're using ALL of your muscles at once. This is primarily why these activities can get you in shape faster than anything else.

In regards to it feeling like you cant breathe and you feel like passing out, that depends on how youre training and who youre training with. Many traditional japanese martial arts schools don't believe in giving up or training half-a$$ed. They believe in training each day like your life depends on it. Unfortunately, that style of training isn't for everyone. Not everyone wants to come back from a workout feeling like theyre barely going to make it to their car. The thing is that the people who seem to "like" it dont really like feeling like crap; they just have different motives for training. Ask any good wrestler why he keeps going back to training day after day, injury after injury, and they'll all tell you the same thing: To win.
