My solution to the whole how-you-keep-yourself-motivated problem may be deemed harsh by some, but in my experience it seems to be the most effective. You Just Train! Set up a workout schedule for yourself and do it every day. If you've had a bad day at work...train. If it's raining outside...train KunTao Silat inside.

If you feel depressed...train, because it is not a matter of "feeling" like training. Motivation is an emotion so if you base whether or not you work out outside of class on how you feel your training will be at the mercy of your undisciplined emotional mind and you will never be better than average. Your training must become like breathing.  Don't think about it...just train. It is in this out-of-class training that you truly develop discipline. Its easy to be in class and train when you have somebody watching over you, but the contrary is not as simple.

Whether it is 15 minutes a day or 4 hours a day, the philosophy remains the same...don't think about whether you want to do it or not...just train.
