This isn't usually the place where I'd set out my goals for training but I thought I'd commit to a regime in the most public of places. The reason? I'm a little more than challenged by what I've thought up for myself and I want to use a public expression of dedication to keep me honest. I'll be posting my updates and results here daily.
Here's the plan:
Over the next 10 weeks I am going to attend -
20 open martial arts classes
6 intermediate/advanced classes
4 sparring classes
Run 30 times ( 3 times per week, 4-5km max)
Train 9 times on the jungle gym (there's a great free workout at various public fitness stations in local parks around Sydney).
Grade for Brown belt Shinbudo with -
7 Kata/forms (all but one graded previously)
7 sets of self defence (all but one graded previously)
1 x 30 sec round against multiple attackers
20 break falls
60 x push ups, sit ups, squats
20x cat stretches
10 x leap frogs
3 x 2 min rounds on focus mitts
3 x 2 min rounds on strike shields
3 x 2 min rounds of open sparring
There's a lot there but the classes should take care of all of the syllabus (my dojo covers the material really well - there's no 'homework'). My only issue is fitness - if I don't undertake some serious training then I won't be able to get all of the fitness component in one session (that's right - the fitness section is all done inside an hour). I don't intend to be reaching for a bucket if I can help it.
Bring it on.
