Newb yesterday: Hey thanks for the help. I'm just so lost in there, especially sparring.

Me: It's just repetition. Keep coming back and it will click. Consistency beats intensity.

Newb: Oh, I'll be back. You'll see me all the time! I'll be in tomorrow and see you then!

Wednesday comes and he's not at the gym.

People like idea of fighting. They just don't want to do what they need to do to get good at it.
