Truestar Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 I'd like to reach the level where I can read an opponent and effectively attack without needing to block in order to defend myself.I want to be able to defend myself against a decent fighter.I want the ability to avoid conflict, and keep my friends and family out of harms way.I want to be able to know every form and technique without needing to think about it.I want to reach the level where I'm at peace with myself and can live happily through displaying the tenets and commandments of Tae Kwon Do.Where will I achieve that? 2nd Dan? 5th? I don't know but I'd like to get there regardless of rank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unknownstyle Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 my teacher founded his own art based on the training he has had. as of now i am the highest ranking student and would like to inherit the system(it is not a made up system, it has proven itself against many traditional arts and passed with flyimg colors) not everyone has the chance to carry on a art as the headmaster and thats what i strive for, realistic or not.

joesteph Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 I'd like to reach red belt in my art, Soo Bahk Do, which is one step away from dan ranking. Then I want to see my sons grow up to surpass me to achieve the dan rank. ~ JoeVee Arnis Jitsu/JuJitsu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tenshinka Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 What level do you want to reach within your martial arts development?How good do you truly want to be?Some common answers I anticipate are "I want to surpass all levels" or "I want to be the best I can be"... but there is so much more to answering the above questions.What steps are you taking to reach a high level within your system?What are you currently doing now in your training to reach your goals?I seek the highest level of achievement that I can, in my life time...

Tiger1962 Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 I've already gone beyond initial b.b. level and when I started out, I didn't expect to stick it out that far. Now that I have gone beyond that, I really don't have a specific goal as far as rank goes. I've decided that I will just keep training until my body lets me or cries "uncle" from pain.

tweak9 Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 I just received my first BB Saturday (10/4/08) = Shodan Ho...my goal is to at least reach 3rd dan. In my school 3rd dan allows you to be Sensei. I want to teach but there is so much more to learn...I have at least 6 years more to go to possibly attain 3rd degree. And if I am lucky my body, heart, and mind will allow me to even further. oh, I am 44 btwPeteShodan-Hohttps://www.bushokai.comShitoRyu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
