Ah yes, as the wonderful smells of BBQs, Lawns, and extra sweaty gym mats hit the air, what are you trying to get done as a goal (martially) before the long, cold, fall (autumn for our UK friends) gets underway?

Lose weight! I seriously need to drop down if I want to compete properly this year. Also want to master Juche so that I can hopefully grade to III dan at the end of the year.

I don't have anything hard and fast laid out, really. I want to spend more time on my Combat Hapkido, so that I can work towards my 1st degree there.

For me it is getting to 4th kyu before I have to head back to the United States.
I'm sure there is Judo back home too but school will prevent me from training for awhile.

My goal...well its an october goal. I want to be ready to be presented as a canidate for black belt testing for the next october. This means I need to learn 12 more forms, two or three more weapons, 36 basics combinations (full of new stuff), 24 sparring combinations (again full of new techniques/footwork), and bunches of self defense. Then I can be presented and start the year long preperation classes.  (I want to get 2nd Kup pass off by august)

Keep working on my conditioning. Sharpen my sparring and grappling. Basically, keep bringing myself back up to a respectable level since I've have time to train now since a job change last spring.

Well i've already lost around 37 pounds so i'd like to keep that off but gain more muscle because i lost a great amount due to my ankle surgery. which brings up another goal, i want to recover within the next month and start training again. i have many forms i need to relearn in my kempo system, and many combinations, so i'd like to get those all down so i can be eligible to test. as far as tang soo do goes im hitting it hard in november because that marks one year until i test again, and i really want to make this test great, like truly and literally amazing, so i've got some training to do!

My goal is october too, with the kicking off of competition season. 10 lbs left to lose (maybe 15 lol  . I lost 25 though so I ain't afraid.
Lean meat, weights, running, and not miss a single karate class.
Easier said than done
