Hi, I'm Jack. I have been doing BJJ and Kickboxing 5 Days a weeks, every week for 3 years (Freshman-Junior) and Have done nothing Social at all, I love my body, I'm in top physical condition and am happy about it, the problem is in the past years most of my friends and dwindled away, due to my strict schedule. I only have 2 friends and they have convinced me to hang more, but I don't know what to do. I love fighting and working out but I need these social experiences, please help me decide!
 
Being in Martial Arts is already a part of social gathering, some people that trained with you is great friends to be with, knowing that such is a kind of activities that you pleasure a lot.

Besides, 5 days of training doesn't mean, you are totally loaded, 2 days is enough time for you to enjoy things with your friends, because if those people are really your friends, they will consider things that makes you enjoy.

Exactly what I was thinking, martial arts have put a toll in my social life, i don't have friends, only dojo mates that I see during training. I think you gotta do what you want to do with your life, because life is too short not to do the things that we love doing.
 
Social experiences are a bit overrated in my opinion. I've had more social experience than I cared to have in my youth and I tell you, the majority of it was spent nursing a hang over and wishing I was doing something else productive. Keep doing what you love doing and ignore your friends' badgering, they probably don't have anything better to do.
 
Martial Arts should provide some social experiences. But I understand that you are looking for some outside of where you train. You must decide what is important. In life you need to have some balance. Maybe you are training a little too much. Maybe you should train in just BJJ or Kickboxing, not both. But you have to decide what is best for you.

You also have 2 other day that you aren't training. When do you have time to do your schoolwork?
