I'm Done With Martial Arts...

Hi everyone! My name is Jason Leung, I am a lifelong martial artist, and welcome to my channel! We all love motivational martial arts videos. But today's story however, will be a tad bit darker.. I first started training in shotokan karate at the age of 11 years old. In my 20 years of karate training, I've had many highs and many lows. I've also set forth to learn different martial arts once I realized my karate training was not adequate to my goals as a martial artist... I wanted to be a complete fighter. Dangerous on my feet, in the clinch, and on the ground. So I started taking Muay Thai, Judo, and Bjj. All of which I still practice today. As you can imagine juggling all of these Martial Arts was extremely tiring and exhausting. I was always overtrained. I got injured quite a bit, got sick a lot, and was suffering from depression. The older I got my body and mind could no longer keep up at the intensity I was training. Though it was a painfully beautiful struggle, all my years of grinding helped me achieve a decent level of martial arts skill and prowess. Digging deep and pushing yourself, does indeed have its place in the martial arts world, but after leaning the hard way, by nature, it is non-sustainable. I've been overtrained and burnt out many times in my combat career, and today I am letting you know I am once again feeling the effects of my training, work, and personal life applying pressure to my body and spirit. Though now, I am able to recognize these destructive patterns. Fortunately, I have gotten better at balancing and recovering over the years.. to mention a few; film study, meditation, sauna, fasting, and breathing techniques. Perhaps I can cover these topics in future videos. Thank you all for staying with me on my martial arts journey towards becoming a complete fighter! I wish you all the best!
