Karateka Posted September 1, 2001 Posted September 1, 2001 I wasn't trying to diss you or anything. I actually meant it in a good way. I was just giving an example of how I would try to gain respect and who I would give my respect to. "Never hit a man while he's down; kick him, its easier"Sensei Ron Bagley (My Sensei)
Richard Posted September 1, 2001 Posted September 1, 2001 My short term goal is to be sucessfull in competitions. And my long term goal is to be a black belt holder....yepp that's it i guess.
WadoGuy Posted September 3, 2001 Posted September 3, 2001 A short term goal for me would be to get into better shape. Long term...I guess would be to give back to the school that I've been a part of. That...and...oh...find a wife.
winterkarate Posted October 11, 2001 Posted October 11, 2001 first of all thankyou angie for the insult very not appreciated. i like to perform on the day of the grading as much as i do in class. if i come out with the top mark fantastic because i know that i have worked as hard as i posibly can. and deserved my belt. as i always put in 110% whenever i train, spar or grade. as everyone at the club can see. as most people at my club will know that through dedication i have completed two of my three grdins with injuries (one pretty serious) and still passed. NO PAIN NO GAIN!!! so my short term goals are to enter more competitions... and win... and although im only a 7th Kyu, another short term goal to get my black belt! you'll understand this now, my long term goals are to get as high as i can in shotokan karate not just in belts, also to gain a shodan in more than one style would be interesting so that i can compare them and see which moves could be more aqppropriate in certain situations. another thing i would love to do would be represent Great Britain at Karate in any field, but i dont think this will happen. but the thought in my head will improve my level of training and concentration. sorry for the amount of typing. i went off on a tengent, im doing it again... sorry!

SaiFightsMS Posted November 3, 2001 Posted November 3, 2001 :spitlaugh:I do struggle with goal setting. :kaioken:Sometimes it seems so much like the disease or other factors are so much in control of my life. :karate:Karate has given me much structure. I began setting goals soon after I began training. :karate:Being a black belt is not the be all and end all of my focus. My focus is to do as much as I can given what I have to work with at the time. Yes that sounds vague. My immediate goals are to polish tekki nidan and learn tekki sandan. And to take a look at Sakagawa no kon sho.
