How do I get motivation these days to train karate, when everytime I train and spar I get my butt kicked by fellow students? My ego is hurting, I know I should leave it at the door, but when one gets home with bruises in body and ego, it gets demoralizing. Although I agree its a very big task to beat these 2 guys who are much taller and higher ranking than I am, how do I keep a little confidence in me to go on and train knowing next time sparring session I'll be destroyed again?
