-Obtain Judo black belt
-Brazilian Jiu Jitsu purple belt
-Fight in Spirit MC if I get laser eye surgery
OH I actually wrote some 2008 goals down as well somewhere:
Deadlift 500lbs
Squat 400lbs
Bench 300lbs
@ 200-205lb bodyweight
I've already hit all of those lifts, I just need to maintain them while rehabbing my shoulders and lowering my bodyweight. |
1. On university exchange in Korea, living on my own and making my own money finally.
2. I'm well on my way to completing what I had in mind by August. Just started a thread on a 120 challenge for studying languages in this forum.
3. I've replaced Judo with wrestling, as it fits MMA better. However, I went to a Judo competition here in Korea and can dominate many black belts (that doesn't mean I have as good skills as them though, just strength and athleticism). I'm putting this goal on hold because it doesn't exactly suit my needs, although it is a good credential to have so I will resume it at some point.)
4. Brazilian Jiu Jitsu blue belt will be possible by August I think, but not a purple. I underestimated the time it takes to get a purple (most people a few years), and I'm mostly training wrestling and no-gi so that doesn't help me with the belt.
5. I got laser eye surgery and am going to a great MMA gym who plan to put me in a Spirit MC MMA match in 6 months or so. Well within my time limit. This is the reason I dropped judo in favour of wrestling and no gi bjj.
I also added another goal: Conversational fluency in Esperanto by August.
