2006 Training Goals

Happy New Year! Upon the recommendation of my friend and JKD & BJJ instructor Jack McVicker, I'm coming up with my training goals:

This year

• Resume high-intensity training ("High-Intensity Training" (John Philbin)).
  
• Expand my leg lock game.
  
• Improve my throws/takedown offense and defense.
  
• Improve my boxing.
  
• Coach my new muay thai fighters to IKF regionals and my more experienced ones to nationals.
  
• January/February 2006 -- Resolve Goshin Jitsu training space issues.
  
• Spring 2006 -- Host MMA Fightcamp, seminar with Shonie Carter, seminar with Ryan Blackorby, and hold a club smoker.
  
• 4/8-9/06 -- Win the Pan American 2006 in the Purple Belt Master's Heavyweight and Absolute.
  
• 6/10/06 -- Win the (light) cruiserweight IKF Muay Thai Rules North Central Regional.
  
• 7/29-30/06 -- Win the (light) cruiserweight IKF Muay Thai Rules North American Classic.
  
• 8/26-27/06 -- Win the International Masters & Seniors in the Purple Belt Master's Heavyweight and Absolute.
  

.

In 5 years

• Write my Goshin Jitsu mokuroku (instructor's scroll).
  
• Earned my faixa preta (black belt) in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.
  
• Build my dream home training gym (what really is the point of a living room...).
  

In 10 years

• Own a martial arts school/gym. I don't want to teach the classes nor even see a profit (no losing money, though). And I'll hire management staff. I just want to invest in a facility that has a varied collection of practical styles (MT, JKD, BJJ, boxing, wrestling, MMA, kali, etc.) taught along side a top notch fitness center. With a very open and wide schedule so I can train when I want. Consider it a Practical Combatives College.

And of course also meet my professional goals.
