When I moved, I spent about a week just packing, moving, and unpacking, and I found that the rest allowed me to heal and recoup after two solid years of killing myself day in and day out. In all honesty, I felt like Superman. I did everything smoother, faster, with more power, and with far, far better timing.

Of course, taking a break from my routine these days just makes the "edge" rusty. I don't torture myself anymore, and my pace is far more laid back.
this is the thing, i found the same in thailand.

Its a sad fact that martial artists still dont know how to train and do rediculously long training sessions.
I think the dutch have got it right personally.
