2. attend my first karate camp

3. Propose to my girlfriend

4. be awesome

My 2014 goals will be to compete at a big tournament in Las Vegas in August (and do my personal best). I want to learn how to do an aerial. Ive been really trying to improve my flexibility and another one of my main goals is to be able to touch the top of my head to my toe in a straddle.

4. be awesome

That one would be fairly subjective, wouldn't it? But, a solid goal, nonetheless.

On a serious note, good luck to you and your future fiance.

My goals for 2014 would have to be:

1. Pass my grading for 4th and hopefully 3rd Kyu (toward the end of the year) with no lower than a Pass B.

2. Improve my strength and flexability.

3. Enter as many competitions as I can and get placed as much as possible.

4. Eat clean, train hard.

All in all, I guess my aim is just to enjoy my martial arts journey as much as I have this year.

Well, after having given it some thought, my 2014 resolutions will be:

Professionally, they'll be the same as they were in 2013, but with more emphasis on reaching a more amicable agreement on finalizing said items that still remain on the table for conclusion.

We'll see!!

Personally, I'm considering many things, but nothing concrete worth in listing as my 2014 resolutions, for the the moment.

EDITS: Spelling and additional thoughts reached at a later time.

2014 goal - train hard all the time - found myself "coasting" a few times during 2013. Was a very busy year professionally but I can't let that interfere with my training.

1. Participate in some kind of regular exercise outside of martial arts.

2. Go back and work on my kung fu kata, which I've totally let fall by the wayside recently.

3. Continue looking more at the academic side of martial arts-- history, theory, etc.

4. Find some way to spar more regularly.

5. As always-- Grok on.
