2013 Martial Arts Goals

[sensei8]

My 2013 goals are Hombu related...sorry.

1) Finalize our very first official website...and then make it public.

2) To make our monthly newsletter, One Heart...One Way, available to other MAists, not just for Shindokanists.

3) Open the new Central Hombu...located in Oklahoma...Tulsa county.

4) Reassign the current Hombu as the Western Hombu...at its current location.

5) Amp up our seminars from every other month to every month.

6) Invite other styles of the MA to conduct seminars at BOTH Hombu's.

Forgive me Alex for this...but...I believe that they are in concert with my MA goals somehow...Ok...I've some personal goals...I hate making them because something always gets in the way...like me.

1) Keep losing weight...I use to be about 350lbs...hush now...and I'm now 298lbs...my goal is 250lbs...my wife and kids deserve that.

2) Spend MUCH MORE time with my family...hence one of the reasons for goal #3 above.

3) Get two more MA related tattoos...I know...I'm an old idiot.

4) Learn how to dance...my wife deserves that...I've two left feet when it comes to dancing...kata doesn't count!!

5) Finish my memoir's...or at least get closer to finishing it.

Well...now my 2013 goals are in the hands of fate...good luck!!

Well There will be three gradings between now and this time next year, so hopefully will manage to get through them unscathed. If I do then I'll be in the intermediate class. So first goal, get into intermediate class.

Sparring - I'd like to start regularly attending sparring classes.

Fitness - Would like to drop some weight, or at least turn what I currently have into muscle. Currently 12st12 (76.9kgs)

Work on my balance, I guess this will come with time and practice, but worth mentionning.

Dont allow Karate to become a chore and keep enjoying.

Test for and receive my 4th dan.

Renew my Combat Hapkido training, and hopefully test for 1st dan.

Get back into strength training.

My long-time DT partner messaged me today, with a goal of testing for 1st dan in Combat Hapkido for 2013. So, I'm adding it for certain to my list of goals for the year. Time to get it done!

I'm not really sure what my MA goals are... everything's a bit up in the air at the moment with what I'm doing and what my club's doing and everything else

But provisionally here's what I want to do:

- Help to run a weekend training camp in February that my school will be hosting

- Complete my first 1/2 marathon (in May). Not bothered about time, just want to finish it in one piece!

- Compete in 2 national tournaments +1 international tournament minimum

- Attend at least one big seminar if possible

- Maybe take my 4th dan at the end of the year

Great goals!!!!!! Hope you achieve them all!!
