Training in 2005

[aefibird]

What's your training 'resolutions' for 2005? Many people make New Year Resolutions - has anyone made any for their martial arts training?

 

Mine is:

 

to try and become better in everything MA-related that I do, especially when teaching classes.

 

Specifically, my resolutions are:

 

to keep working on my 1st form in Wing Chun and try and get it the best that I can

 

to improve my side thrust kick in karate

 

and

 

to learn a kama kata with lots of application.

I'm teaching 2 additional classes a week on top of the 7 I already teach, so my primary goal for 2005 is not to let this interfere with my own training and increase my personal martial arts training, for the last 8 months my primary goal has been to get my classes off the ground and running smoothly, so now that I have them going awsome I plan on bumping up my training. I also will be starting to introduce weight lifting to my training routine (its been about 3 years since I've lifted).

 

I have a good feeling about this year and I"m motivated for it.

To be able to do full splits by the end of the year!

I did not start to long ago, so my New Year Resolution would be, no tot miss a class, unless i am sick. Stick to MA, work hard, try my best, you know all that kind of stuff. I really would like to improve my kicks and flexibility, so I have some exercises to do for that. For kicks, i would like to improve my speed and strength especially my roundhouses. For flexibility, be able to do the splits ^^ lol, and also just all around flexibility. I would like to get into a better fitness level, maybe try sparring a couple times.

 

There is mine for now, that is all I can think. good luck to everyone else.

to improve my wing chun, start aikido again and learn some grappling.

Hah, looks like I'm not the only one with a side thrust kick in the resolution

 

Also, to develop more power from technique not muscle

 

And to get more muscle and lose fat

Mine is to work toward my black belt. It's still 10 months or so away, but I'm not in the best of shape. I wouldn't get past power camp (first part of the test is physical) right now LOL. So I need to start running, ect.

To work towards my black belt. To keep my enthusiasm up and keep training as much as I am at the moment. To perfect an ushiro geri so that it doesn't look like a drunken stumble.

Drop thirty pounds, then gain it back the right way. (I'm, 170 lbls now. I've gained thirty pounds in about fourteen months.)

 

Just to get back to training period would is a goal for me. I've been out for several months due to a knee injury.

 

Document applications for kata Wanshu.

[Shorinryu Sensei]

To wake up each morning with a pulse!

 

Hey, at my age, that's a pretty good goal!
