Fairfax_Uechi Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 I have a couple of goals. 1. To do Martial Arts as long as my body lets me. 2. Just recently, 2 young black belts told me that their goal was to pass me in rank. Now my goal is to not let them.Now this can be good as a motivator, but if they truely are gifted don't feel bad if they do this (depending on your style, experience, etc) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaz Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 One of my ultimate goals in Martial Arts is to be able to evade all attacks thrown at me, that way I won't have to get hit. I think that would be really useful.

jaymac Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 You are right fairfax, it is a good motivator. However, I am not over the hill yet and unless I fall off the face of the earth, they can't pass me A great martial artist is one who is humble and respectful of others.

younwhadoug Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 i was told by a master in the instructors course that whatever we wanted to do in ma was possible with patience. with that in mind, i want to teach women and children the best self defense available. not totally from rapists and gang members but from those they might not suspect until its too late. thats long term goal though. shorter term goal..... testing with my sons and wife for blackbelt this december. we started together and though bb is the beginning it has been a big step for us compared to how we acted as a family two years ago. be polite, be patient, be alert, be brave, do your best, respect yourself and others.
