A few years ago, I was invited to a couple different workout groups, including Crossfit. Although many people love Crossfit and swear by the results (and look pretty damn good!), I was a little disturbed. I overheard a student telling the instructor that a certain move hurt. His reply, "if it doesn't hurt, then you are doing it wrong. Push through. Your body will get used to it." They weren't complaint about "being tired pain," but how just doing the snatch and grab hurt their shoulder. This attitude of pushing through to the end, even with bad technique, wasn't for me.
Jiu jitsu isn't like that. It's all technique. If you can't do something or its just not working right, it's because your technique was wrong. Don't push through. Do it right. Being right is so much better than being hurt. When your body and mind come together in just the right way, and you "hit" that move that hs been eluding you, that is pushing through the pain (of failure) and "getting used to it."
